Bangura on for Crooks in the 77th minute.
CJ in the 73rd minute: Kavanagh on for Jones. Kavanagh's debut.Jones only on at half-time. He didn't look injured though. Perhaps just resting him h...
Crooks adds a third in the 53rd minute, assisted by Rogers.
CJ reports that it started to pour with rain during the half-time break. Lovely! Jones on for ELL.
Comment from the Beeb's live commentary on all three Cup matches: Morgan Rogers is clearly a man for a big occasion. The Midlands-born former Manch...
I've been practising. 😉
CJ: Brilliant pressure from Silvera. He wins the ball back on the right wing in the Vale half and then drives [into] the box. He then cleverly pulls...
Rogers makes it 0-2 in the 23rd minute, assisted by Sammy Silvera.
CJ: It opens up nicely for Boro in the final third. Barlaser picks the nice advanced ball into Howson's path and with Vale defenders backing off, he...
Followed by Rogers in the tenth! 🙁 Then Jonny H gives Boro the lead a minute later, assisted by Barlaser.
Matt Clarke booked in the fourth minute!
Posted this link on the Hull thread: An offer for HH from one of the "big six" would probably be hard to fight off!
On the basis of what I've read thus far, the Echo's player ratings seem rather better balanced:
The Echo's verdict on the match: Had to laugh at this:
A third yellow for Boro: ELL booked in the fifth minute of injury time. 🙁
Not another bad injury? CJ: Concern for Boro. Dieng slipped while taking a GK and has had to come off. Glover on.Six minutes added time.
And Silvera makes it 1-2 to Boro six minutes after coming on! He had a little help from Rogers. CJ: Boro ahead again! Gift for Boro as Swansea gi...
Not to mention Rogers for Crooks & Silvera for Greenwood.
Spoke too soon: Engel on for Bangura in the 72nd minute.
Howson booked in the 64th minute, Jones in the 67th. No sign yet of any Boro subs...
And in goes the Swansea equaliser in the 59th minute! 🙁 CJ: [Ball] [w]orked out to Swansea's left and the ball is crossed mid-height into Boro's...
CJ's verdict in the first half: A game best described as low-key. Boro created next to nothing before their goal, with another performance lacking m...
Greenwood gives Boro the lead in the 43rd minute, assisted by Crooks! I hope to God they can hang on to it! CJ: Boro ahead! First time they've re...
Preview of the match from the Beeb's live text commentary: Damp and drizzly at Swansea. Similar to recent moods in both camps maybe. A win today f...
From CJ: Right at the death, Boro come so close to equalising, with the ball eventually fired wide in a scramble.But there are boos as the FT whistl...
Rogers on for Greenwood in the 77th minute, Silvera for Dijksteel in the 83rd.
CJ: Boro behind. Dear me. Dijksteel completely misreads one and is done down the right. But the ball across isn't threatening until Barlaser touches...
Double bugger in the 82nd minute! 🙁
Bugger! Hull equalises through Liam Delap in the 69th minute - CJ: Boro have asked for that in the way they completely took their foot off the gas ...
CJ's verdict on the first half: Boro deservedly lead here, but it could be by two. Solid first half, but it does feel like they've taken their foot ...
