Dave Kitson of Stoke City has become the second striker to join Middlesbrough on loan since the
appointment of Gordon Strachan. It is hoped that Kitson will provide additional competition for
places up front, following the recent arrival of Marcus Bent on loan, and will be reunited at the
Riverside with his former Reading strike partner Leroy Lita.

On Tuesday night, Boro sacked Gareth Southgate: cue rejoicing on Teesside. Southgate was the
clueless manager who got us relegated for the first time in 12 years. He was the man who took us
from the Uefa Cup to the foot of the table. He was the man who sold our best players, and brought
in our worst.

After 27 years supporting Middlesbrough Football Club, I could be forgiven for thinking I had
seen it all. Cup finals, relegations, promotions. Liquidation, Europe. Memorable victories and
crushing defeats. I thought nothing about the club would ever truly surprise me again. Tuesday
night, I was proven wrong.

Gareth Southgate has been relieved of his duties as manager of Middlesbrough Football Club with
immediate effect. The decision was announced in the early hours of this morning and came hot on the
heels of yesterday's 2-0 victory over Derby County at the Riverside.
The win over Derby ended a run of three straight home defeats in the Championship, and it is
this along with falling home attendences - less than 17,500 for the Derby game - that is being
rumoured as the contributing factors to Southgate's dismissal.

In the wake of relegation from the Premier League, Bryan Robson had just one aim for the
1997-1998 Season: promotion at all costs.
The £5million signing of Arsenal's Paul Merson signalled this intent, but as transfer deadline
day approached promotion was anything but certain. Robson decided to dig in to the chairman's
pockets with a further four major signings: Paul Gascoigne, Marco Branca, Alun Armstrong and the
enigmatic Columbian Hamilton Ricard.

Saturday presents Middlesbrough with the opportunity to put the mauling at the hands at WBA
behind as they travel to the Ricoh Arena to face Coventry City. Coventry are off to a decent start
this season though and at home they look a difficult prospect. Whether Boro come out like a wounded
animal, with fire in their bellies, determined to put things right or whether the demolition job by
West Brom has completely shattered confidence will play a big part in the outcome of this
encounter.

Joe Bennett was recently held back from going to the Under-20 World Cup with England by Gareth
Southgate, a clear indication that he is in and around the first team squad and could find himself
in the first team before too long.
Bennett is an very talented left full back who currently finds himself behind Andrew Taylor and
Jon Grounds in the pecking order, but many think it is a matter of time before Bennett makes the
breakthrough.

The morning after the day before and the finger pointing of blame has begun following the
shambolic collapse against West Bromwich Albion. The brunt, no pun intended, of the vitriol seems
to be aimed fairly and squarely on the shoulders of manager Gareth Southgate, but for me the
players who took to the field yesterday let themselves, the club and the fans badly down.

Middlesbrough were humiliated by a far superior West Brom team today at the Riverside, going
down 5-0 in the top of the table clash.
Going into the game on the back of two 3-1 wins this result is a bitter pill to swallow and
brings Middlesbrough and the fans crashing back down to earth.
West Brom took the lead under controversial circumstances in the seventeen minute as it appeared
Rhys Williams was fouled by Roman Bednar, the referee though thought otherwise and refused to
award Boro the free kick.

Middlesbrough's good early season form has seen them rewarded with two players in the Football
League's team of the week.
Jeremie Aliadiere came off the bench at the Riverside to score a second half brace which got
Boro back to winning ways. His two goals, a header and a neat finish into the corner of the net,
made the points safe for Boro against Roy Keane's struggling Ipswich Town.

It's a question I have seen crop up a lot on various message boards over the last few weeks, so
is Boro's Adam Johnson the best player in the Championship?
There is no doubting that Johnson has had a superb start to the campaign, 5 league goals and 1
in the Carling Cup for a wide player is a superb return.

Boro have confirmed the loan signings of Sean St Ledger from Preston North End and Caleb Folan
from Hull City to strengthen the squad ahead of the promotion push.
St Ledger is a central defender who comes in to the squad as a replacment for Robert Huth.
Currently young Seb Hines is partnering David Wheater at the heart of the Boro defence so there is
a good chance of St Ledger working his way into the first team.

Back to back 3-1 victories have left Boro flying high in the Championship and confidence must be
sky high ahead of the vital clash with West Bromwich Albion at the weekend.

A little over two weeks ago, the transfer window slammed shut, leaving many Boro fans
disillusioned. We had not brought in any big names. We had not brought in the fabled target man we
so desired. We had not brought in.... anyone. Hopes of keeping Tuncay and Robert Huth, and seeing
them outclass the Championship until January, vanished in an instant.

So the loan window is open for business and rumours are rife with who Gareth Southgate may bring
in to strengthen his Boro squad. Southgate has confirmed that he is looking at players and has said
there is a good chance at least one player could be added before Saturday's visit of Ipswich
Town.
Southgate told mfc.
