* The unofficial "Official" End-of-Season. Boro v Preston. Match-day Thread *

Would love to see Connelly bag a brace today, the lads gave his all for the football club, whether people think he's good enough, or not, is another issue, I personally think its not worked out for him here, his attitude should never be questioned

According to my stats, before kickoff today, our complete loan players have played a total of 1,452 games, scoring 145 goals by 37 different players
 
No surprise 4 big players back for Luton today.

Injured my ****.

Boro unchanged from Stoke, apart from McNair returning for Peltier.

Boro make Preston pay for errors​

Middlesbrough made it through to the fourth round of the Capital One Cup as they made easy work of Preston, winning 3-1 at Deepdale on Tuesday.

Goals from Emmanuel Ledesma, Merouane Zemmama and Richard Smallwood gave Boro the victory.

North End took Championship scalps from Huddersfield and Crystal Palace to reach this stage of the competition, but the challenge of an impressive Middlesbrough proved too much as a trio of defensive errors put them out at the third round for the fourth year running.

Both Ledesma and Andrew Halliday claimed to have scored Boro's 13th-minute opener, with the Argentinian's inswinging corner striking the far post and rolling over the line with Halliday making sure by bundling in.

Five minutes later, Preston allowed Zemmama far too much time to shoot into the bottom corner from 25 yards five minutes later, but the hosts pulled one back through Jack King's smart finish on 40 minutes.

Smallwood capped a comfortable win for Boro on 61 minutes, pouncing on the loose ball after Preston defender Paul Huntington headed Zemmama's cross back to Steve Simonsen, too powerfully for the keeper to hold, as the visitors eased to victory.

Special thanks for this one Roofie! Fond memories of this rainy night at Deepdale in 2012👍
 
10 mins to go - really nervous now! Cant ddecide if I should sit at my pc and follow it all or go and do something else!
 
I'm the only one sat in An Irish pub in Utrecht. Got them to put the Luton game on and will be check the phone.
Thank you Roofie
C'mon Boro
 
Just as long as we do our bit and win. It's a simple as that for me. It's all we can do.

I couldn't handle us not winning and one of Luton / Sheff UTD slipping up.

I have a feeling Fulham will win at Sheff UTD. If they only play 75-80% of midweek they can beat anyone.
