1st off, the last time we beat Bolton in the league cup we won the trophy, mind 19 years ago & counting
Joseph-Desire Job's opening goal was timed at one minute & 45 seconds becoming the quickest goal in a League Cup Final since it became a 'one-off' game in 1967. The previous holder was back in 1972 when Stoke City's Terry Conroy against Chelsea scored after five minutes, this led to Stoke's first trophy success in 109 years, this record lasted just 12 months when Liverpool beat the time
After 7 minutes Job was fouled in the box & the ref pointed to the spot for a penalty, Boro fans were in dreamland, this is not the Boro way, Bolo Zenden converted a penalty to make the score 2-0, if VAR was around back then it would have been disallowed, typical Boro
With Boro cruising & thinking of scoring 3, 4 typical Boro reared its ugly when when after 21 minutes on the clock & no threat to our goal Kevin Davies hit a hopeful ball in to the box & somehow the ball went under the Aussies body, what!
This gave the Boro fans at the game & around the world a nervous 70 minutes of nail biting & heart failure everytime Bolton crossed the halfway line
Schrawzer stood tall, nothing was going to get passed him after that, though, we had one piece of brilliant defending to thank for keeping our slender lead intact, with the clock ticking closer to the 90 minute mark there was a massive scramble in our penalty area when, all of a sudden, the ball was heading towards the Boro net & from out of nowhere, Ugo Ehiogu (RIP) just threw himself at the ball & blocked the goalbound effort, with his bravery he saved the day & at that moment, nothing was going to stop us winning our 1st piece of silverware, some say our first major trophy in their 128-year history, well I say apart from the Anglo Scottish cup we won in 1975
Playing Bolton in this competition seems to be our lucky omen, apart from beating them to lift the trophy we met them once before, back in 1997/98 season on our way to our 2nd league cup final when. We faced Bolton at the Riverside in a 4th round cup tie, winning 2-1 after extra time
Since our glorious Carling cup win we have played in the 3rd round 13 times, winning 7 times, 2018/19 was the last time we progressed to the 4th round
Bolton who are 3rd in the 1st divison beat Barrow 1-0 in the 1st round to get to this stage, though it has to be said, there previous home game they lost 4-0 to Wigan
2nd December 1899 - Bolton 3 Boro 0 - Our 1st fixture away to Bolton
This will be our 64th away game v Bolton with the following record
Won - 11
Drew - 17
Lost - 35
Goals scored - 69
Goals against - 119
Hat tricks away v Bolton x 2

I was leathered in Cardiff like
Shed a little tear when they were parading the trophy about and Gibbo walked out on to the pitch to the loudest cheer of the day
What a good day that was
UTB
Bolton 2 Boro 0
TROTTERS 3 BORO STIFFS 1
😌😌😌
Still to this day I can't remember bolo's penalty (I think I couldn't watch it) that game was the first time I tried whiskey as someone gave me a nip at half time and full time great day that was
Bolton 0-2 the mighty Reds (here's hoping)
2-1 to Bolton
1-4
0-3 tonight fruits 👍👍👍👍👍👍
For me he has to play his strongest team, if we have one, hopefully progress & gain a bit of confidence with a clean sheet
2-0 Boro

Is Rogers any better than Payero?
Should Payero be given a game in the No10 role tonight, Rogers has probably had 90 good minutes in that role, hardly someone who can claim that spots his

Payero won't be involved if he's going out the door. He wasn't included in last Saturdays squad which leads you to believe he is going. I'd love to see the lad given a go but in a 433 with a good dm
3-1 Boro
Payero to score the third in the 88th minute after a one-two with Bryan Robson.
For some reason I'll be leading the celebrations on the pitch.
I dreamt it so its gonna come true.
Could be a tight game
1-5

To be fair to Rogers, he has only had about two games in that role.
He was played up front with Crooks behind him.

Maybe I wa a bit harsh, he was good v Huddersfield but poor at west brom, though in his defence hardly anyone, I just think give Payero a game, see how he copes

Payero is done Erimus.
Three managers have all decided he isn't good enough.
He will leave this week I think.

Do you think it will be on the IPTV, it wasn't on the other week?
That commentator on BBC Tees does My swede it.
At least in the league games you can watch the channel of team that we are playing, so you don't have to suffer that unfunny 🤡
Hopefully Carrick will put out his best 11-so no Crooks
I'm going for a 1-1 draw and hopefully a Boro win on penalties

Yea I think youre right, seems thats been the case since he walked through the door
Now Lattes off the mark he may get another one, maybe a brace tonight 👍
I fancy Silvera to finally get his scoring boots on tonight 👍

Scored on his debut at home to Cardiff in a 2-0 won, loaned from Newcastle, his only goal for us
Jimmy Phillips was half decent for us.
Never in the same class as Big Nick though . . .

I liked Jimmy Phillips, good signing, made his Boro debut in a 3-0 home defeat to Blackburn
Scored our 1st ever PL penalty, when he converted our only goal in a 4-1 defeat at Liverpool

Im starting to lose faith with Carrick, against West Brom one of our better players was Silvera, just give the lad as much game time as possible, he claimed the assist for Latte & continually ran at their defence & Carrick rests him & brings in Crooks, if youre going to replace Silvera then give Gilbert a run out, you know what Crooks can do FHS Carrick, rant over
ANOTHER SHIT FUCKING KEEPER AND SHIT DEFENDING 😡😡😡 FUCK OFF !!!!!
Gonna be a long night :rudi:
CROOKSY!!! WE'RE GONNA WIN THE LEAGUE, IT'S OUR YEAR!!!
MATTY CROOKS 👍💪👍
I've only been saying he should have been on the bench & Gilbert should have started
What do I know 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Crooksy lad cementing his starting place at the weekend
:leo3:

Bang goes my 1st cleansheet forcast, only lasted 21 minutes
I just hope Bolton worked hard for their goal

Was our team all over the shop again Lids?
Not seen any of tonights goals
Our 77th 2/3 round league cup goal scored by Crooksy
296th in total, SO FAR
Why are Coburn & Payero on the bench when theres no interest of using either player, Finch & Cartright should have been on the bench tonight
It's defo our year, the treble is on, league , league&FA Cups, it's defo our year!! :leo:
OH BORROW WE LOVE YOU!!!
3-1 👍
Well the next round for the 1st time since 2018 👍
We had to win that, if only for confidence reasons. Need to to get some signings in now and beat QPR to get the season up and running properly - easier said than done though

Riley Mcgree has to be found a role in this side week after week , he is a class apart when it comes to spotting a pass etc

it seems you came early, again.
Hey Blott, Lids got the right score but the wrong way round
it's not the BEADs tote.
😁
According to the Northern echo
Man of the Match: Isaiah Jones. Bright spark down the left. Will surely have played his way into the team vs QPR on Saturday.
I just love it when we win.it means I can watch the highlights.
Jones played on the left?
:ponder:
Quote from: tunstall on August 29, 2023, 11:23:28 PMJones played on the left?
:ponder:
That's where Warnock played him until Spence left wasn't it?
I remember he came on as sub for his debut against Fulham and then made his full debut against Bristol City.
Played on the left and got an assist in each game.
3 THINGS I LEARNED...
TOM GLOVER IS AS BAD AS JOANNA LUMLEY... SOL BRYNN MUST BE THINKING WTF... 🙄
RILEY MCGREE MUST START EVERY GAME AND CROOKS SHOULD NOT... EVEN THOUGH HE SCORED A DECENT GOAL HE WAS DOGSHIT AFTER THAT 🙄
WE GOT MORE CHANCE OF GENERAL BADDAD TELLING THE TRUTH THAN GETTING TO WEMBLEY 🙄

Thanks Lids, 3 well taken goals, including a good chip over the keeper from Crooks, at long last a long way effort that flew in to the back of the net from McGree & Rodgers who slid in to the block the clearence from the Bolton defender before receiving the ball from McGree to open his account for the Boro
Some neat pass & move football from us for our goals & near misses last night, lets hope we can take it in to the QPR game
Is the draw tonight & what number ball are we?

Just wait till I start taking my granddaughter
I don't blame Glover for the first goal,he parried the shot but Fry should have moved quicker to counter that.Once again during the first half we kept getting pulled out of shape and losing the ball in midfield by some physical play by Bolton.In the first half the Bolton defender Jones played a blinder on the right side and stopped a few attacks from us .In the second half as he tired and we brought on Silvera,Rogers,McGree and Coburn we dominated the game and looked comfortable.We need to keep our concentration and shape on Saturday and try to contain QPR.Hopefully the result last night could be the catalyst to kickstart our season off.UTB!!!
