HT 2-0 yet Boro have been much the better side . Our GK arguably our best player,Tulloch and Fellows not really in the game . As for Cleary on this evidence he has much he needs to improve on and can see why there would be a reluctance to promote him yet. His first touch has been particularly poor the ball constantly bouncing away off him there is however no doubt he has an eye for goal, his first goal was Regisesque !

Thanks for the report. Everyone suggests he is indeed young and raw but can finish and as you say knows where the net is. Be interesting to see what happens with him.

Would echo previous poster.

Cleary lost the ball a lot, in easy positions and gave the ball away with simple but wayward passes.

However, his first goal was a class roll the defender and strike into the bottom corner from 20 yards. Great strike.

Second was messy finish on a corner - however showed good strength.

Didn't look ready for first team yet however, he Cleary has power and ace for goal... His first one reminded me of Cyrille. Long, long way to go however....

Apparently itâ€™s 2-1 either I nodded off or the missus got me doing something and I missed it !

We had a young striker whose first touch was poor but knew where the net was we let him go for Â£60,000 his name was Steve Bull.

Possibly I thought heâ€™d blown for HT and went off to do something !

Cleary - this kid really seems to have something!

If he signed a contract it would be fantastic and he could really take the role of Hugill, impact sub for 20 or 30 mins.

Was Fellows no 7 tonight? the one that looks a bit like Bobby Hope. He looked really down, not truly committed what I saw of it. He did not join the celebrations fro the third goal which was a good strike from Cleary. He was heavily marked and didn't get any decent service with the lump it up to the forwards tactics.

How old is Rico Richards? He seems to have been around for yonks.
