CJ's half-time verdict: Boro lead at the break. Far from their best. Looked like a struggling side for much of it. They defended largely well though...
H/T: 0-1. Can they hold out for 45+ minutes more without conceding or, better still, add to the Conway goal?
Blimey! Tommy Conway gives Boro the lead in the 37th minute! He was assisted by Whittaker - CJ: Whittaker does really well to set Iheanacho away d...
CJ on Iheanacho: Into the 30th minute and Iheanacho is flattering to deceive again in a Boro short [sic]. Concerning. He looks out of shape and lack...
I went out to Sainsbury's after about 25 minutes, not long after Andy Sixsmith, I think it was, on Final Score had described the game as "flat as a pa...
CJ a couple of minutes before the third SheffU goal: Travers keeps Boro in it More comedy defending from Boro. Giles and Hackney chase back a ball...
Make that 3-1 (87th minute)...
The Blades bag a second in the 75th minute. CJ: So easy again. Ayling attempted to play Conway in behind but it's cut out. Then takes just one pa...
Barlaser on for Azaz in the 55th minute. Two minutes later, CJ: Sheff Utd penalty appeal Home fans fuming. O'Hare goes down from Ayling. Leg was...
Five shots on goal, two of them on target, according to Bet 365 (11/5 for SheffU).
No changes at the start of the second half.
Penalty to Boro on the stroke of half-time: taken by Burgzorg, who converts. CJ: Edmundson deemed to be fouled in the box from a Boro corner. He...
CJ: Boro behind. It's been coming, but it's another to file under the Boro comedy school of defending... Iling-Jr has really struggled so far. He gi...
The Blades draw first blood in the 32nd minute. 🙁
An analysis by the Beeb of Burnley's infuriatingly good/enviable defensive record: which is apparently dividing the club's fans...
Typical! The Times finally publishes a report on a Boro match & it's all about the opposition: because Blunderland earned it! 🙁
Double bugger: Giles OG in the 88th minute! 🙁 Looks as though they're going to do the double. 🙁
Len's prayer answered in the 69th minute. Let's hope it's not too late for Conway to make a difference...
Boro's turn to equalise: HH 8 minutes laterm assisted by Morris. Iling-Junior on for his debut in place of Azaz.
And it gets worse in the 51st minute: 1-2 (Isidor). Child's play - CJ: Ayling puts Morris under pressure with a poor touch. Morris loses out and I...
Bugger! The Deck Chairs equalise through Neil in the 33rd minute (massive deflection off Edmundson).
Great goal by Burgzorg to give Boro the lead in the 11th minute with a little help from HH! 🙂
Mentioned by CJ in his team preview: Suggestions Ben Doak is out injured. We'll find out if there's any truth in that when teams come out
Posted this on the wrong page - two newbies & a first start for Giles:
And from the Beeb's live transfer page: Morton to Boro not expected to progress Middlesbrough's approach for Liverpool's Tyler Morton is not expec...
Will Lankshear, the 19-year-old Spurs player who I believe was on Boro's radar at one point, has gone to WBA on loan until the end of the season, acco...

Gilbert on for Azaz in the 81st minute.
Riis makes it 2-1 to PNE in the 78th minute. 🙁
Giles on for Borges in the 74th minute.
