* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Exeter Carabao Cup Match-Day Thread *

[Norman_Conquest]

Cracking cup tie

They certainly made us work for it.

 

[Teesste]

Well done Boro.. can see why Exeter have done so well in the competition this season.

They gave us a good scrap but was clear that chances would come and so they did.

Onwards and upwards!

 

[Steer]

2nd half was brilliant. Good cup tie that. Good win from a young team.

 

[On The Bob]

Boom! Winning feels all round. One of my rare bets on a Boro game!

 

[Craggsy2]

Great minds think alike.

More like away to keep up the current pattern.

 

[Mr_Fridge]

Here we go, here we go

 

[JonnyHistory]

Some cracking goals and a good hard fought win.
Port Vale next please

 

[sweet_left_foot]

Shame for the EXITers. Good game

 

[coluka]

Excellent away support as per usual, pleased for them more than anything

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Good cup tie that with some excellent goals.

Always nice to get a win at St. James Park...

Always nice to get a win at St. James Park...

really hope we are not going to St James Pk in the next round mind!

Proper cup tie

It's a shame sky couldn't be bothered to show it. Probably more exciting than the double bill 'big hitters' (used loosely) tomorrow.

Rogers looked class. He's definitely growing in stature. Think we may have a 'player' in him.

 

[Kenna]

Good game that, really enjoyed it, fair play to Exeter. Second half was much better from the Boro

 

[Teesside_Steel]

Good to see Dijksteel. Always rated him, possibly against popular opinion.

Rogers has so obviously been the player offering most promise of the outfield permanent signings. Been clear even when played out of position in the very first match.
He has a touch of class, good touch and great vision. I'm really pleased for him that he is now having an impact.

Thought he had a great game

Played well - considering it his first start in a long while.

Think we had to run the legs off them, soften them like a boxers jab before the big right comes into action. 73% possession, 617 passes to 241. Not bad stats.

Totally with you, I would have him as our first choice RB.
I think with Danks input, he could improve his concentration. If so we have a proper player who has pace going forward and back.

Before anybody jumps on, I'm not sticking the boot into Smith and wish him well with the injury; or VdB who may be a very good centre back.
I just happen to really like Dijksteel.
