Highlights

  • Middlesbrough's early-season struggles are reminiscent of the previous season, despite a change in management and new signings.
  • The defense and forward options are areas that need strengthening, with the back-line being leaky and the forwards failing to make an impact.
  • Colby Bishop, currently playing for Portsmouth, could be a good signing for Middlesbrough, offering a well-rounded presence in attack with aerial ability, poacher's instinct, and pace. However, securing his transfer may require a fee of over £2 million.
