2nd of a double header in Devon
We've experienced a strange few days as Boro fans, on Saturday we lost our excellent run of consecutive wins when Stoke, who done their homework on us & were worthy winners, came to the Riverside & went away with the three points, a bit flat on Sunday & Monday then Tuesday, another big game to look forward to, dust ourselves down to fight for a place in the 5th round of the league cup when then travelled to Exeter for our 4th round league cup tie & after a bit of a scare, came through the tie for a place in the 5th round, who we have been drawn away to Port Vale
The Exeter game seen some cracking performances, for me Rogers was my MOTM, McNair had a good steady game, Dijksteel who has been out for what seemed forever, came through 90 minutes unscathed, Bangura had a fine game, plenty of running & pace, he also claimed two assists, Rogers continues to show what he's got & potentially, could become a big player fo us, Silvers too, when he keeps his shots low, Latte Lath kept his composure with a nice well taken, winning goal when he slotted the penalty home
I don't think Glover was to blame for either of the two goals Exeter scored on the night, the lad hit a cracking shot, he'll probably never do again for his 1st & his 2nd deflected off Paddy McNair, but we came through & now look forward to another big night
On to Saturdays game, our last meeting was when Boro manager at the time, good auld Neil Warnock took the players down to Devon for a team group get together & a few friendly games with one of them at Plymouth, which the Boro won 2-1

Lennie Lawrence was caretaker at Playmouth in 1978 Boro manager between 1991-1994

David Jack played 45 games, scoring 10 goals for Plymouth in season 1919/20 - Boro manager between 1944/1952
It was wrongly quoted that after Boro lost to Plymouth in the 3rd round of the FAC back in 1973 Stan Anderson resigned, that wasn't the case, after losing to Plymouthon the 13th the Boro then travelled to QPR a week later, drawing 0-0 & Stan sadly decided he couldnt take the club any further
My brother in law, who was born in Thornaby, now lives in Canada, his dad once played centre forward for Plymouth in the early 50's, made his debut against Leeds United with John Charles marking him
The story goes when my son in laws dad scored his 1st of two goal John Charles picked him & said, good goal son but you wont get another touch, he went on to score a 2nd goal, Leeds won 4-2
He decided to visit Home Park while he was down that part of the world & jumped on the bus to go to the town to get another to the ground, on pay he told the bus driver he's going to Home Park to visit his old playing ground, the driver recognised him, told him he enjoyed watching him play for Plymouth & took him straight to the ground himself, lovely story

Thanks teamboro, hard to write to much with lack of history between both team, regarding debut goals, penalties, hat tricks etc
Brillo Erimus. I said I would rather beat Exeter but why not finish the Brethren to make it a perfect trip.
tricky one .. Plymouth 2 - 2 Boro
ARGYLE 2 BORO LIONS 🦁 3

Thamks Erimus. I found a clip of one of my favourite Boro goals, Willie Falconer against Plymouth in 1992. Peter Shilton was in goal.
2-1
:unbelievable:

He was class that lad
Sure he had a bad injury and was never the same player after it
Great write up as always Erimus.I'll be at the Plymouth game in spirit only as I gave my ticket to one of my godsons who is in the Navy and is at present stationed in Plymouth. He is a proper smoggy lad so hopefully he will see the lads win 2-1.UTMB

2-0 to the mighty reds
C'mon Boro!
STARTED WELL...THEN THE DEFENDING TURNED TO SHIT :rav:
Can still do this, come out fighting, 2 goals in the second.
First goal was particularly bad defending
Some people shouldn't be allowed to text in to Tees at half-time.
Come on Boro
We've been tortured down both flanks - our fullbacks just aren't very good defensively, in fact Van Den Berg is not a full back, he's a centre back and it's showing. Having said that Greenwood and Jones aren't giving much support - Jones didn't track back at all for the first and Berg just let the lad have a free shot for the second. Disappointing after going ahead. Glover for Greenwood, Bangura for Engle, and Djiksteele for Berg second half please.
The usual entertain at all costs football. Shocking defending down the flanks, Crooks booked as usual. Guaranteed no changes at HT.
Eat-sleep-repeat...

2-3 Greenwood and Coburn penalty rebound 💪💪💪💪💪
3-3 :unbelievable:
Come on boro
Finished 3-3
Great point, onwards and upwards. Still only a few points away from the top 6 after a dreadful start.
Missed all but the final 5 minutes of the 2nd half, weather conditions looked awful
Coburns free kick & their 3rd goal wetecawful to watch, he cant take another one, on the plus side he got a couple of goals to his name, he's learning & will do eell for us, keep doing what youte doing Josh & you'll be fine
2-1 down to leading 3-2 great commitment, 👍
Happy with the way we're going, unbeaten in 2 games, through to the QFs of the league cup & 4 points off a playoff place, another, hopefully, good season
Hard done by there - their lad should have been off, he was last man, although it probably was just outside the penalty area to be fair. He still should have received a red though

I'm very not happy - our defensive issues have loomed large in all of the last three games
We should not be shipping goals like we are
Do the same against Leicester and we'll be battered
WATCHED THE GAME...WE SHOULD HAVE WON IT BUT I'LL SETTLE FOR A POINT...BRING ON THE FOXES 🦊🦊🦊💪💪💪🍺🍺🍺

Our defencive issues have been ongoing long before Carrick came in, scoring goals aplenty hid our fragile defence, hope we can defend better next saturday
SHOULD HAVE HAD ANOTHER PENNA AS IT WAS IN THE BOX NOT OUTSIDE 😡

Yep it's two points dropped but with defending like that it's hard to win a game. We were well on top for most of that second half - if the ref sends their lad off and gives a pen it's game over, but we only have ourselves to blame really for not taking a plethora of chances and defending like statues 🤷🏼�♂️
The best teams don't lose even when it's all going against them. Hopefully that applies to the Boro
Difficult week really. Even though Exeter are in a lower division still a hard game to get to the semis. Rounded off with another flight down south and two games in a week.

It wasn't just the defending that cost us 2 points. Carrick near replicated the same ineffective sustitutions of Coburn & Crooks for Latte-Lath & Rodgers from last weeks Stoke loss which, imo, made us weaker up front - especially Coburn who after scoring twice and holding the ball up well was having an excellent game.
Good away point that
Happy with the attitude and the fight we showed, chuffed for Coburn
Plymouth are a good footballing side

The 1st half I seen I thought theyvwete a tidy team, played some nice football & their No2 & 14 were a handful
We should havee capitilised when on top after taking the lead
