CJ's assessment of the first half: Not much to write about in that first half. It's been a poor first half. Cardiff sit with ten men behind the ball...
Telling comment by CJ (after 28 minutes): Ironic Boro cheers Frustration growing as Engel continues to find acres of space on that wing and his te...

Five minutes of injury time.
Greenwood replaces Crooks in the 86th minute.
Forss replaces Jones in the 78th minute.
CJ: Boro back in front! Excellent response from Boro after the equaliser. And here Crooks picks the ball up in that hole again before threading a lo...

Watford level in the 52nd minute. 🙁

Smith on for O'Brien in the 36th minute. 🙁

The Hornets pull one back in the 19th minute. 🙁
McGree gets a second in the 12th minute assisted by Crooks. Could Boro3 be about to put in a welcome return appearance? *prays*
As CJ saw it: Boro lead! Great start for Boro. Howson turns away from his man in the middle of the park. Perhaps slightly fortuitous with the touch,...
Early lead for Boro: McGree in the fourth minute, assisted by Jonny H. 🙂 Out of the relegation zone & up to 20th, as it stands.
CJ's more detailed team news: Just the one change to the starting line-up from the team that beat Southampton last weekend, but not the one we expec...
CJ's predicted team:
MC explains (sort of) why Riley McGree was missing for a few matches prior to the last two - or rather Craig Johns's interpretation of his comments:
The match is to be played on Tuesday, 31st October, 19.45 kick-off.
Away (again!) to Exeter City...
Please God not Blackburn, the Tractor Boys or the Skunks....
Philip's reference to the Radio Leeds commentary isn't the only perception of the ELL goal. Craig Johns on Teesside Live saw it in much the same way,...
Thanks,, Werder. What on earth possessed his parents to call him "Law"? *scratches head*
Alex Gilbert on for McGree in the 72nd minute.
CJ: Boro double their lead! McGree makes an excellent dart into the penalty area and is played in behind. Right side of the box, he plays it back ce...
Morgan Rogers makes it 2-0 in the 54th minute!
Summary of first half: Excellent half from Boro. No doubt who are the Championship side here. Moved the ball with real pace and purpose from the off...
