Hornets loanee Fabbrini nets thunderous strike on home Boro debut

In League One, Coventry City impressed again as Newcastle United loanee Adam Armstrong scored twice in a 4-0 rout of Millwall.

In between those Brentford goals, City forward Luke Freeman was shown a straight red card for a high challenge on Harlee Dean and in the s econd half the extra man counted as strikes from Hull target Andre Gray and Philipp Hofmann gave Marinus Dijkhuizen his first win as Bees boss. The talk went onto incoming transfers and despite adding seven new faces this summer, Karanka hinted that there could still be new faces in the squad before the September 1 deadline.

“We have to have the same attitude as this game, and we have to forget the final and last season”. Kike played today, but you look on the bench and see David Nugent.

Karanka’s opposite number Neil Lennon took full responsibility for Bolton’s display, admitting he made a tactical blunder.

The Italian global then saw another effort tipped onto the crossbar and Kike was first to react with just over half-an-hour played.

Carlisle fought back from a losing position three times with Jabo Ibehre grabbing a hat-trick, as Barry Corr netted twice for the visitors.

“The players didn’t get to grips with it very well and we let Middlesbrough dictate the game”.

“I try and train well during the week, I try to play well with my teammates, and I try to do well enough to help the team win in matches”. It’s a learning experience for me and I apologise to the supporters.

Indeed, Middlesbrough and Bolton were involved in goalless draws on the opening weekend of the season; on Saturday, Bolton were held to a 0-0 draw by Derby County at the Macron Stadium, while Middlesbrough were involved in a televised stalemate against newly-promoted Preston North End the following day.

“We’re coming into the game off the back of two positive performances, but we’ll have to change our mindset a little bit given that we are away from home.”
