The Doctor's Office: A Big Win, a Big Loss, a Big Signing and a Big Match

After a messy start with Middlesbrough, The Good Doctor finally seemed to steady the ship. A draw against Cardiff and a massive win against table topping Blackburn seemed to steady the ship.

However, a mighty below was given in the North East derby at the hands of Sunderland who defeated a lackluster Middlesbrough team on their home soil. The fans and playes left that evening deflated but the boss has said since then, things have picked up.

"We have put in a lot of time on the training pitch this weekend and the congested fixture list will mean that some of our fresher faces will be making appearances. the lada are getting the motivation back again so hopefully the momentum hasn't stopped because of the blip against Sunderland."


Middlesbrough travel to the Keepmoat Stadium this evening and battle against toffe ;'s Doncaster Rovers, a team that has lost their last 12 league games. Their last victory in the Division was on 20 December against Fox's very own team.

"A lot has changed since then, I wasn't around and it was during that time. I'm sure the former manager will admit, that the team were very jaded back then. However, time has moved on, the team a fitter and playing better and we have some new talented faces to ensure we give it our all for the three points."


Fox has admitted that there is pressure going into this match tonight giving the points analysis of best and worse case scenarios.

"A loss for us tonight and a win for AFC Bournemouth puts us a lot closer to the relegation scrap than we would ever like to be. We are too close now as I am sure the fans will agree. A win for us tonight and a loss for AFC Bournemouth will give us an 8 point cushion and while that isn't a guarantee, it would certainly be a very nice gap to have with only a few games to go".


In order to help secure a win tonight, Fox has dabbled again the market, this time looking at attacker, Josip Drmic to provide a creative boost.

"We are really happy Josip agreed to come over to the Riverside and also many thanks go out to PSG for accepting the deal. Josip is an immensely talented boy and can add something very special into our attacking options".


Josip Drmic (22) is the latest acquisition for Middlesbrough, coming in on loan.
