Live match updates as Middlesbrough take on West Brom at the Riverside Stadium in the first game of the new Championship season.
He then plays it across goal where Jones is on hand to smash home at the back post! Fans, players and Wilder asking for the penalty but looked like good defending to me. Baggies break in numbers and Swift arrives in the area to fire a low cross beyond a helpless Steffen. Bruce not happy and on the pitch remonstrating with the Boro defender, so he gets a yellow too. Howson does well under pressure and gives it Giles down the left who runs positively inside before slipping Akpom in behind. No real sights at goal for him, but he starts the season with an assist. Heart in mouth moment as a Jed Wallace cross turns into a shot that very nearly catches Steffen out. Boro caught on the counter. Steffen only had one save to make, early on from a cross-come-shot. Ricochets off a defender and out for a corner. Rash tackle on the touchline. Plenty of positives, but clearly plenty of work still to do too.

West Brom's 2022/23 Championship campaign gets underway today as they take on fellow promotion favourites Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.
Boro will also be without one of their standout players in Paddy McNair, though. In fact, the Baggies have just one win in the last eight meetings with Boro ahead of this one. The midfielder received a red card in the final game of last year and remains suspended for the first of this.

But West Brom are a relatively harmless club, and one that Bruce can be given time to get his feet under the table. At Newcastle United, he was hounded out of a job that he was never truly the right fit for. He may have taken Sunderland and Hull to the Premier League, but recently the negativity that surrounds him as a manager has overshadowed any good work he has done.

Two West Brom new boys combined to earn a 1-1 draw at Middlesbrough during an entertaining opening game of the Sky Bet Championship season at the Riverside.
The best of those openings arrived nine minutes before the break when Giles was again involved. There was still time for Marc Bola to sting the palms of David Button from distance, but the onus was on West Brom to improve after the restart to avoid an opening day defeat. Steffen was involved plenty too.

Boro kicked-off the new Championship season with a point at home to well-fancied West Bromwich Albion.

Whether Grant leads the line for the clash remains to be seen, however. Joseph Chapman of Birmingham Live gave the 24-year-old a player rating of 5/10 and said he ‘found it difficult’ to be threatening, though his work rate was praised. No outfield player who started for the Baggies had fewer touches and only one had a worse pass completion than Grant, so it wasn’t a vintage showing.

But within six minutes of the restart the visitors were level. The introductions of Grady Diangana and Daryl Dike helped Albion in their search for a winner and Swift went close again during the closing stages, an acrobatic attempt in the midst of a mad scramble not quite coming off. Boro had a half-time lead thanks to Isaiah Jones’ early strike on Teesside, yet the Baggies hit back following the interval when John Swift grabbed his first goal in Albion colours to secure a share of the spoils.
Russell Youll gives his palyer ratings following the 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough.
Looked classy on the ball and got Albion on the front foot whenever he could. Could not deal with the surging runs of Boro's highly-rated right-back Isaiah Jones and left full-back Townsend exposed. Made an excellent interception in the first half as Boro's Riley McGree almost got in on goal. Took a little while to get into the game. Made a telling interception late in the game to block a shot which may well have been a game-saver. Struggled against the runs of Wolves loanee Ryan Giles on Albion's right flank.
