Consistency Is Key For Boro’s Play-Off Chances

What an interesting week we’ve had in the footballing world. Middlesbrough have officially changed their name to Middlesbrough Celtic FC, John Terry got the sack from his duties as England captain and Mido returned from his homeland to play for 50p-a-week with crisp bonus add-ons.

Scott McDonald was not ready for his Boro debut because of a reaction to a recent hernia operation but McManus managed a decent performance in his first game for Boro but couldn’t keep out the Tractor Boys’ first minute goal. His new partner at the back, David Wheater salvaged a point for Boro scoring his first goal since notching against Everton in the Quarter Finals of the FA Cup last season.

With the fixtures coming thick and fast in the business end of the season Gordon Strachan will be hoping his new recruits do the business on the pitch over the coming months. We are currently experiencing a run of four league games without defeat which is a rarity theses days. The last time we had a stretch of four games without losing a game was during our god start to this season before Nicky Maynard’s last minute strike for Bristol City started a a run of inconsistency.

We now have two great opportunities to get six points on the board as we take on Barnsley (tomorrow night) and Peterborough United on Saturday, both games being at the Riverside. With the experienced players we now have in the squad and the injury list slowly shortening we could be in for a good month.
