Phew!
The Beeb reckons the goal was scored with the assistance of Isaac Fletcher! *rolls eyes*
Watmore, nips past O'Brien and Sarr, scythes into the box from the left, rams a curler shot into bottom corner (1-1, 31 mins)
Boro started with the power and acceleration (and stability on corners) of a Reliant Robin. Look very creaky in a 532 that they haven't managed to mak...

Make that 1-4. The Bees scoring goals for fun - again! 😥
Dijksteel's back, replacing Dael Fry:

Match played this evening instead. Wing got on as a sub in the 68th minute & Roberts in the 72nd. The Millers won by 3-0.
