On the subject of strikers: Anyone heard of him?
I do believe that Crooks failed to break the habit of a football lifeltime & was one those six. Will he ever learn?
Paddy sent off a minute before Jakobsen got his second & Preston's fourth... Before that, Balogun, Coburn & Connolly came on for Sporar, Watm...
And no sooner does he do that than the Dane, Jakobsen, bags a third for PNE! 🙁
Blimey! Tav's just pulled one back!
Vic's half-time verdict: HT: Two down. Both self inflicted. Poor defending. Could've been a few more too. Second best Boro started slowly, lacked sh...
So far, so very typical Boro: Preston 2 (the second a Fry OG) Boro 0 at half-time, not to mention a yellow card for Paddy & one for Luke Daniels ...
The Gazette really plumbing the depths of grammatical ignorance with that statement! *shakes head*
CW apparently proud of his work with Boro this season: And three Boro players who impressed, according to The 72:

Duncan Watmore gives Boro the lead in the 16th minute from a cross by Isaiah Jones. 🙂
Vic's view: Hell on. Millwall level with deflection OG off Bamba after lino flagged for a foul on Watmore. Boro stopped, ref waved play on and Millw...
And 12 minutes later, the Lions equalise through Benek Afobe. 🙁 Some things never change! *shakes head*
Matt Crooks gives Boro the lead (header) in the 15th minute, assisted by Duncn Watmore. 🙂
Curious journo who thinks "extinct" is a verb! *shakes head in disbelief*
@werdermouth He was born in Newport. I remember all the fuss at the time of Boro's ill-fated 4th round FA cup replay there a couple of years ago.
Except Pulis is a Welshman! 😉
Daniel Farke's been sacked by Norwich...
Any thoughts on three possible successors suggested by Football League World? I have a lot of time for Chris Hughton, but given his recent failur...
Wow! Does that mean that Steve Gibson has a successor lined up?
Vic's verdict: FT: 1-1 spirited show & great point at parachute powered promotion chasers. Many predicted a battering but battling display. Good...
1-1 at the final whistle. At least they managed to hang on to a point this time!
