Echo player ratings: & the Gazette's:
Sol Brynn unlikely to be back before the end of March at the earliest: 🙁
Clean sheet for Glover! I guess 0-0 is better than 0-1/2/3.... At least they finish the year in the top six.
Engel on for Borges in the 81st minute.
Jones & McGree on for Doak & Burgzorg in the 72nd minute.
CJ: Boro understandably more cautious this evening against a good side, given their recent defensive issues. But if they can just sharpen up in the ...
Beeb summary: A tightly contested encounter at the Riverside is all square at the break. Chances have been at a premium, with only three shots for ...
Well, they've survived without conceding for 45 minutes...
From the Beeb's live commentary (4th minute): Boro's Delano Burgzorg is roared on as he scampers down the left. But Burnley win it back and Jaidon ...
Still Glover in goal, ELL & Edmundson back:
A splendid starter for 10, Dormo! 👏 On a more sobering note, Boro's woeful track record in game management laid bare by CJ in arguably a b...
(my bold) Contribution to the discussion to the Beeb's live commentary on the Brighton vs Brentford match (currently 0-0): The incredible rise of ...
3-3. *shakes head* I suppose they were lucky to see it out after the implosion. Why does it feel so much like a defeat?
Borges off injured in the 89th minute, replaced by Engel. Seven minutes of injury time.
MC shuffling the pack: Matt Clarke on for Azaz, Jones for Doak & Glover for Brynn in the 60th minute. Not looking good. I obviously spoke too s...
Make that 3-3 after 61 minutes. 🙁
Boro3 is back! 🙂 Azaz again in the 31st minute as he knocks in the rebound from a shot by HH. Boro3 doing a pretty good demolition job on the Owls'...
Azaz himself gets in the act in the 15th minute with help from Borges, of all people.
Not another injury! CJ: Injury for Tommy Conway immediately after the goal. He sat down and has had to come off after treatment. Latte Lath on, but...
Young Ben puts Boro one up in the fifth minute with a little help from Azaz. Keep it up, lads...
And a few thoughts from the Beeb: Can away day specialists Owls extend run? Is it the joy of coach travel, the delights of the service station sto...
CJ's "analysis" of the line-up: Three changes from Carrick then. I went for Fry and Barlaser in my predicted team, though neither decision was becau...
And then it appears:
From the Sheffield Star (no sign thus far of a Gazette live page) Middlesbrough XI: Brynn, van den Berg, Barlaser, Fry, Hackney, Burgzog [sic!], Dij...
A not particularly informative article by Dom Shaw in the Echo on what MC feels needs to be done about the number of goals being conceded:
Merry Christmas everyone! I was going to post the news about Corberán, but I see that Werder's beaten me to it & it's no longer news! More detai...

The curse of Uncle Eric (the antithesis of everything Eric said marked him out as a worthy addition to the team)? 😉
Biggest disappointment of the match for MC: Gazette player ratings: Only Burgzorg & ELL, both subs, earned 7s.
Which Boro, thankfully, survives: 3-3.
