Kick-off delayed by 15 minutes owing to the Boro team's late arrival (held up by heavy traffic & the weather).
@werdermouth Basically, three changes with Gilbert, McGree & Strelec in for Browne, Hansen & Burgzorg. Oh, & Edmundson back on the be...
From the Gazette's player ratings: Tommy Conway - 5 Couldn’t get into the game at all. He didn’t get the service he needs and there appeared to be...
Match report from the Echo: Praise for Bangura, Targett & Hansen.

Young Archie Baptiste gets his first taste of Championship football: on for Whittaker in the 89th minute. Six minutes of injury time being played.
CJ: Boro lead! From another corner. This time taken short. Hackney slides Whittaker inside on that left foot. It's a clever curled delivery from Whi...
Whittaker makes it 2-1 in the 84th minute. Assistance again from HH. Boro provisionally back in the second automatic promotion spot!
We posted at the same time, Werder. Great minds... 😉
Targett on target to put Boro level in the 75th minute, assisted by HH!
CJ six minutes later: Positive start to the second half fading after the stoppage and changes. Boro haven't created anything in the last five. Nyp...
McGree & Strelec on for Browne & Hansen in the 53rd minute. CJ: McGree alongside Hackney in midfield. Strelec up top, with Borgzorg into th...
CJ's view of the first half: Boro couldn't have wished for a worse start. Punished after just two minutes and riding their luck a few times, with De...
According to the Beeb, HH has been handed the captain's armband.
CJ: Detailed Boro team news Four changes from Hellberg then. Targett, Bangura, Hansen and Burgzorg come in for Ayling, Silvera, Morris, McGree. No...
Bangura back in the line-up:
No worries. Caught up in the end & Werder has duly come up trumps. P.S. the amateur proof-reader in me won't let me overlooks this: it's "mea ...
Been expecting to see this preview for a a day or so, but only just found it, as it appears to be in the wrong forum (last season's - didn't think to ...
@forever-dormo FD: remember that exchange we had some time ago (last year?) about the Kit Williams hare? Here's what you might call the coda: ...
CJ: That's cruel on Boro. They've looked most likely since their equaliser to go and win this one. Coventry score twice in quick succession again an...
Burgzorg & Sène on for Whittaker & Conway in the 80th minute. Coventry regains the lead in the 85th & makes it 2-4 in the 87th!
CJ in the 75th minute: Conway's missed a sitter It just won't go in for him. Wonderful diagonal from Hackney gets Brittain in behind the full-back...
Hansen on for McGree in the 59th minute.
It's now vital that the lads hold out for at least a draw: Stoke 3-0 at home to Charlton.
Equaliser! The gods must be smiling on us: own goal in the 49th minute! CJ: Boro level! Whittaker goes close but denied by a great save. Disast...
CJ's verdict on the first half: Boro have done well here to respond after falling two behind after just 15 minutes. Coventry clinical, but two avoid...
Problem with Aidan Morris just before half-time: Receiving treatment. Won the ball well on the counter press but somehow penalised for it. It looks ...
CJ: Browne does well to recycle a cleared corner beyond the back post. Cross from the byline is flicked on by Jones and Whittaker volleys into the b...
