Danish commentator is quite well informed and very complimentary towards Saints

Lallana off, Schneiderlin on

Takes the ball all the way from our box to the backline and delivers a cross... saved off the line...

CLOSE to 3-0 - Chaplow is a hero...

Good covering and blocking by Hooiveld

quadruple(ish) subsitution by Boro...

Hooiveld with a mistake - he's made a few both otherwise he's been alert and imposed himself physically...

Cork with a piledriver from distance.... corner Saints

He's sitting with an ice pack on his knee, so the frustration is probably not directed at NA... (not saying that you said so etc. ;-))

Connolly on for Guly... great match by the Brazilian!

Nice tracking back... we're working hard!

Quite interesting how we'll handle the first 10 minutes - if we continue I'd feel fairly confident for the rest of the match, but if Mowbray has managed to adapt his tactics or fire up his players, a lot can happen in 45 minutes of football... COYR!

Chaplow goal disallowed... not sure if it was for offside (which I don't think he was) or a free kick...

HT. Great stuff! Middlesboro have had to chances - a FK and the late chance for McDonald. Saints on the other hand have had a number of good chances in addition to the two goals Guly scored. All we need now is to keep the concentration...

Hooiveld misjudges his tackle and MacDonald gets a shot on goal from a tight angle - hits the sidenetting.... PHEW!

Peculiar yellow card for Robson for taking a FK early... the retake whizzes past the post!!!

Hooiveld and Fonte both trying hard to get on the scoresheet...

Nooooooo Guly hits the post

Lambert close to a 3rd with a header! Again a peach of a cross by Butterfield...

Kelvin with an important stop from an advancing Emnes. Good stuff!

Lallana picks his man, crosses for Lambert who heads back across goal where an unmarked Guly dives in for another headed goal... Beauty!

Guly - 2-0!!!!

Penalty claim for Boro handball - nothing given... replay shows no penalty - used his chest to control the ball...

Can we do other themes this early in the game or is visual cheering entirely off limits?

Butterfield cross, Lambert draws all the attention from the defenders, Guly left alone to thunder home a header...
