When Jimmy Cochrane made his debut wearing the No3 shirt with Frank Spraggon missing his 1st game of the season & Peter Brine named as sub

The Boro haven't won at Hillsborough since September 1950 & feeling confident that this season, with the Boro top of the league, unbeaten on their travels & with Sheff Weds struggling this season the Hillsborough bogey will be surely put to bed

Shock, Sheff Weds score 1-0, Alan Foggon equalised for his 6th of the season, Sheff Weds hit back to go 2-1up but Boro wouldn't lie down & Boro equalised for the 2nd time when David Mills chipped the Wednesday keeper to bring the game level at 2-2, his 4th league goal of the campaign & that's how the scoring went

Boro's defence has been water tight this season & 2 away games on the bounce we've conseded 4 goals & collected 2 points, but we're still ticking away nicely in a league we're far to good for the opposition
