    A Will Lankshear brace helped Middlesbrough come from behind to beat Lincoln City 2-1 in their opening game of the new Championship season on Saturday.

    The striker joined Boro from Tottenham in the summer and won the game for the home side with a 92nd-minute goal after the Imps had taken the lead through Adam Reach.

    We asked for your thoughts and here is a selection of what Middlesbrough and Lincoln fans have had to say on the game:

    Middlesbrough fans:

    Dave - Absolutely shocking first-half tactics - pass sideways, backwards and then lose the ball. An improved second half with substitutions but we would be sunk without Lankshear.

    Bert - Rather good first match. Space for improvement with these players. Defence more resolute, attacking more pace and switch quicker from right to left. Boro will end up in the top six.

    Stephen - Very fortunate to win after a poor first-half display. They managed to get it right in the second half but the defensive frailties are there for all to see.

    Roger - Good second-half display. With lots of new players they took time to adjust and deservedly beat a really tough side. With Strelec, Morris and Conway to return from injury I think we will have a great season.

    Lincoln fans:

    Ray - Very impressive. We won't be the pushovers the experts claim.

    David - Well done in the first half for our determined Imps. I know the die hard fans are going to be up in arms at my statement but this year we are desperately in need of linking passes together otherwise we are going be cream crackered by Christmas. This is a real step up!

    Ian - Great spirit and commitment. No criticism of effort. Better luck next outing lads.

    Paul - Onward you imps. We will surprise a lot of teams this season.

    Norffy - Great effort - nearly caused an upset

  6. A white van is crossing a small bridge with lane markings running up the middle of it. The van is having to drive towards the middle of the road over the markings as the bridge is small. Just before the bridge the road curves and there is a driveway with daffodils in a planter.

  7. James Sudron is holding up a large poster that has a design depicting orange and red flames. A white logo at the top reads: "Fire Brigades Union Cleveland". He has short brow hair and is wearing a blue polo shirt.

  8. Swimmers in Stanhope Open Air Swimming Pool. Strings of bunting hang widthways over the pool and a lifeguard stands on the side of the pool. Lanes are marked out with ropes and buoys and the approximately 14 swimmers in shot all appear to be doing the butterfly stroke. At the far end of the pool a number of people sit or stand in front of a white building which has doors and windows with dark frames. On the left hand side of the pool stands a slide, much like a family with a child might have in their garden. A silver ladder leads to the top but the blue slide winds towards the pool.

  9. NECF Forest Manager Lloyd Jones crouches behind a sapling that has just been planted. He is wearing a dark t-shirt and shorts, baseball cap and sunglasses and is smiling. The sapling has a semi-translucent, green plastic tree guard around it and in the background there are several other newly-planted trees.

  10. A woman in a blue face mask is being injected by another woman. The person being injected has long, brown hair in a ponytail and is wearing a grey shirt. The needle is mainly obscured by the other person's hand, but it has an orange cap. The person with the needle has mid-length blonde hair and the word immunisation printed in white on the back of her blue jacket.

  21. Pick of the stats: Middlesbrough v Lincoln City

    club badges bannerOpta

    For the first time in 65 years Lincoln will play in the second tier of English football on Saturday (15:00 BST) as they begin their campaign at beaten play-off finalists Middlesbrough.

    The Imps won at Derby in the EFL Cup first round last weekend and lost just once in the past 15 seasons on the opening day.

    Boro overcame Wrexham in the EFL Cup and have lost only one of their past five curtain-raisers.

    • This is the first meeting between Middlesbrough and Lincoln City in any competition since April 1961, with the Imps winning a second tier match 5-2 at Sincil Bank.

    • Lincoln City have won just one of their 10 previous Football League visits to Middlesbrough (D3 L6); a 2-1 victory in March 1959 in the second tier under Bill Anderson.

    • Following a run of 10 wins in 14 games between November and February (D1 L3), Middlesbrough won just four of their final 15 league matches to end last season (D7 L4).

    • Lincoln City finished their EFL League One title-winning campaign with a 29-game unbeaten run (W23 D6); only six sides previously have gone 30+ games outside of the top-flight, the last being Burnley in 2024-25 (33).

    • Middlesbrough recorded more pressed sequences than any other side in the EFL Championship last season (592), while only Ipswich Town (11) and Hull City (9) scored more goals following high turnovers than their eight.
