Live match updates as Middlesbrough take on Rotherham United at the Riverside.
Boro almost done with a FK routine at the other end as they they it behind the wall for Washington. Breaks kindly for Jones on the right as Rotherham fail to deal with a long ball. Great break into the box from watmore after running off the shoulder of the last man and receiving it from Howson. Round the keeper and flicked goalwards, only to bounce off the post go across the goalline and then away. Lovely chest control and flick behind for Watmore to break into the box. Crooks beat him to the loose ball but headed over and was offside anyway.
HERE are the Middlesbrough FC and Rotherham United player ratings from Saturday night's Championship fixture.
Came off early in the second half. Washington: Had the Millers' best first-half chance. Not much to do in truth. Johansson: One first-half save to deny Giles in first half. Watmore: Comfortably the main threat for the Millers. 6

SIMPLE_SELECTION He’s set up three and tops that leader board along with Ryan Giles. Middlesbrough have been sharing the goals about this season and they’ve got five players tied on two goals each at the top of their goal-scorer chart. With that stat standing out it’s surely worth a go on Over 3.5 Cards here. Rotherham, on the other hand, are far better behaved with 15 yellows from a game fewer, an average of 1.88 per 90 mins. Chris Wiler’s crew have racked up 23 yellows and one red in their nine games far this season, an average of 2.67 per match. They have scored 12 in eight but have only conceded six goals which is the third-best per match in the league. Both teams have scored in four of Boro’s five home games this season, though The Millers have only scored one goal on the road. The hosts have shipped a whopping 15 goals this term so Rotherham should get a few chances here at the very least. Middlesbrough are big favourites to win here but their shaky start is putting me off. Boro could find themselves in the drop zone before kick off. Rotherham, usually perennial yo-yo boys in this division, are flying high in 9th after eight games with 13 points.

The Millers earned a solid point on the road at the Riverside as they battled to a goalless draw against Chris Wilder's men.
One specifically, floated in by Alex Mowatt led to the ball being headed down in the path of Matt Crooks who collided with Johansson. The resulting set-piece was pulled back to former Miller Ryan Giles, whose strike was palmed away by a diving Johansson. However, last-ditch heroics from Cameron Humphreys blocked the shot as it deflected into the side netting. Ogbene looked to slide through Washington, but the ball was trapped under the number 14’s feet and cleared by Boro. An Ollie Rathbone threaded ball was hit just out of the reach of a sprinting Ben Wiles. Rotherham were asked to defend throughout the second half, but even under harsh testing the Millers’ backline stood strong and gained yet another clean sheet – making it 5 for the campaign.
