* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Stoke [08/24]. Carabao Cup 2nd Round. Programme and Match Day Thread *

This Sky commentary sounds a bit retro.

Reminding me of The Big Match in the 1970's.

I'm expecting to see the following ads in the break...
For Mash - Get Smash
A finger of fudge
Harmony hair spray
Hovis
& Flake - only the crumbliest, flakiest of defences.

Whos the commentator
 
I don’t like losing, but am more bothered about Saturday. Clarke is everywhere, defender, sweeper, ball carrying midfielder, centre forward, the man is unreal.

Gilbert puts some nice balls in, Josh should have scored, Finch unlucky as was Hamilton. We are far more open than them on he whole, but we are chasing the game notwithstanding they’ve had their moments with such a high line at times.

We have a strong bench, but suspect we will be 2-0 down before Carrick deploys it. Maybe it’ll be a game of 2 halves.
 
Final decision with balls into the box not quite right. Few decent half chances at the end, apart from Coburn's big chance. Stoke had a gilt edged chance after they scored, so lucky it's not two one to them. Seem to be targeting young McCormick on the left hand side. Gilbert playing quite well. Ball not dropping for Finch. Hamilton needs to be a bit braver and take people on - playing quite safe atm. Not bad, but not great either.
 
What is going on though with our finishing 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
I mean, we should be in the lead and good value for it but lack of composure from different players
I mean, WTF 🤷‍♂️
It’s so frustrating, maybe they need a fcuking rocket off Carrick now and again to be more ruthless 🤷‍♂️

Hamilton wasn’t unlucky
He should’ve buried that as should Josh Coburn 🤦🏻‍♂️
Finch created a good chance and the keeper made a good save
 
We are looking very toothless.

Hamilton reminds me of Emnes. Tidy but no cutting edge.

Clarke is head and shoulders our best player. Looks a step above the rest, man amongst boys.

Teams will let us play pretty football if they control the score line.
