Boro v Plymouth match thread

[erimus74]

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

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.

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
