Dom Shaw, like The Gazette, plumped for Dael Fry:

Boro up to ninth in the league with 39 points, the same number as Hull, but with a GD of +1, two fewer than the Tigers, so behind on that criterion.
Forss, assisted by Rogers, adds a third in the fifth minute of injury time! 🙂
Forss (wahey!) on for Greenwood in the 87th minute.

Crooks on for Azaz in the 62nd minute.
Assisted by the Millwall goal-scorer, Joe Bryan. 😉
