According to Vic, after "Gorgeous George", on as a sub after being out since August, scuffed his shot.
What was Vic saying? 0-1 - Matt Crooks in the 57th minute, header from a Howson cross. 🙂 I think Brum had a goal disallowed just before that.
Vic's assessment of the half: HT: 0-0. Boro generally in control with long spells of patient passing & the odd flash of promise but only the odd...
Howson's racking up the yellows: booked in the 15th minute for a "bad foul". I think that makes five so far this season.
This afternoon's starting XI: Jones again on the bench.
