A number of highly respected managers have recently left the SAS fold, and there have been calls for Nick Matthews and Longball to be installed as head of the national team.

Manager Nick Matthews has been widely praised this season and despite many questions about the strength in depth of his squad, so far he has answered them all as Middlesbrough continue to get the results.In contrast, Long Ball has been widely criticised for his outburst following the Tottenham cup defeat and since then his side have struggled in comparison to how they started off the campaign.4 points behind the top two in Division 3, the cup is beginning to look like Everton's best chance for glory and having won Group C ahead of their arch rivals, Long Ball and his men were keen to show they could continue that form by advancing even further.

Nick Matthews and Long Ball looked focused too and watched as their sides warmed up for a potentially thrilling encounter.
...
Nick Matthews was undoubtedly the happier manager but Long Ball will have seen at the end of the half that his side were starting to come back into the match.
...
The travelling Middlesbrough fans went wild and Nick Matthews jumped off his seat and punched the air.

Long Ball was furious.His side had dominated the second half and then conceded a careless goal that could have been cleared.He ordered his men to get forward more as Everton went in search of a goal to keep their SAS Cup hopes alive.

In the 84th minute Kevin Campbell created a chance for himself out of nothing. he picked up the ball at his feet just outside the box and moved to his right before going left and fooling Colin Cooper.He took one more touch and fired a powerful drive at goal.
...
Nick Matthews brought on some fresh legs though Igor Stimac came on for Gary Pallister and Neil Maddison replaced a worn out Paul Gascoigne who was still slightly pained from Sherwood's early challenge.
...
Long Ball shook a dejected Nick Matthews' hand and for Everton, the party can now begin.

The fans vented their anger with a few slight boo's but nothing malicious and it was mainly due to pure frustration ... Nick Matthews also looked disappointed and knew from the game so far, that it was their best ever chance to really take down one of the big names of English soccer.
...
The goal gave United a much need lift and they ended the half more strongly and Middlesbrough and Nick Matthews soon found out why they have to take their chances against the likes of United.

HALF TIME: Middlesbrough 0 Manchester United 1

Both teams came out unchanged for the 2nd half and Nick Matthews must have felt so unlucky to be behind at half time.Boro started the second half with great eagerness and immediately United were on the back foot.Nick Matthews will have wanted his side to capitalise on their chances and show the nation why they are leading their Division.

On 50 minutes Paul Gascoigne weaved his way through two United players, laid the ball out to Gordon who crossed first time and Larsson was there to fire the ball goalwards but it struck Staunton on the line and he desperately cleared.The Boro players appealed that Staunton handled the ball but he and the referee were having none of it.Larsson could only put his hands on his hips and stare into the sky shaking his head at his disbelief of the miss.
...
Middlesbrough manager Nick Matthews will be a happy man after this game.His side played entertaining football and scored some good goals too.
