Marshall, McKinney, Dalton, Walker, Thompson, Iley, Suddick, Hilley, McGarry, (Thomas), Penman (McGarry), Taylor
Scorers: Taylor (3), Hilley, McGarry - Balderstone
ITS A TAYLOR- MADE VICTORY - New signing Colin Taylor is a positive revelation and smashes in a hat-trick which is sensational in its execution.
Derby - SJP - 35,269
Marshall, McKinney, Dalton, Burton, Thompson, Iley, Suddick, Hilley, McGarry, Penman, Taylor
Scorers: Taylor, Penman, McGarry - McCann
Position: 3rd
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING ON NEWCASTLE LEFT - A winning start but the visitors and poor and are playing with only ten fit man for more than half the game. Taylor scores from an oblique angle after only 55 seconds but McCann levels within a minute. Penman scores a superb second and McGarry completes the scoring just after the break. Gordon Hughes makes a quick return to Tyneside after his move. The win sees the players earn a £4 win bonus and a £5 crowd bonus.
Middlesbrough (5th) - Ayresome Park - 37,803
Marshall, McKinney, Dalton, Burton, Thompson, Iley, Suddick, Hilley, McGarry, Penman, Taylor
Scorers: Kaye (2), Gibson,
Position: 5th
IT’S THE GIBSON-KAYE-OH! - The hapless Magpies never recover from conceding twice in the first four minutes and are fortunate not to concede more than three. They are bullied off the Park as the wing-half partnership of Burton and Iley once more fails to provide the necessary strength and Marshall continues to lack assurance in goal.
Plymouth (17th) - Home Park - 13,960
Marshall, Keith, Dalton, Burton, McKinney, Iley, Hilley, McGarry, Thomas, Penman, Taylor
Scorers: Thomas (3), Taylor - O’Neill (2), Macanearney, tbc
Position: 11th
Barrie Thomas scores a first-half hat-trick in his first appearance of the season and Taylor scores the final winning goal after the break. The first forty-five ends 3-3 after a comedy of errors with both defences looking disorganised. The Magpies tighten up after the break with McKinney, Whois deputising for Thompson, playing particularly well. The home fans are not impressed and some throw their seat covers onto the pitch at the final whistle.
Middlesbrough (2nd) - SJP - 56,918
Marshall, Keith, Dalton, Burton, McGrath, Iley, Hilley, McGarry, Thomas, Penman, Taylor
Scorers: Penman, McGarry
Position: 7th
UNITED'S FURIOUS CONQUEST - Boro are second after winning all three of their games so far. There is a huge crowd but with many turning up late there are still 12,000 queuing as the match starts. And with fans on the terraces failing to move to accommodate others a number of angry fans have to leave without seeing the match as they cannot find a place on the terraces. Transfer-listed John McGrath deputises for Thompson and he is the man-of-the-match in a highly combative game in which four players are booked. The Magpies deserve the win, but the visitors are hampered by an injury to outside-left Braithwaite following a hefty challenge from Iley.
Charlton (17th) - SJP - 33,225

Alan Suddick is recalled for the injured McGarry and he scores twice in an easy victory. Penman also gets a brace with Thomas also on the scoresheet.
