After 10 games Middlesbrough sit in 18th place in the npower Championship and, going on results
and performances in those games, look set to stay there for much of the season unless something
drastically changes within the team or management.
A lack of fight and team spirit from a Gordon Strachan managed side is unheard of surely?
Another defeat, this time at home, leaves Middlesbrough sitting agonisingly close to the bottom
of the npower Championship this weekend something that Boro fans can't really understand. The 2-1
defeat yesterday, to rivals Leeds United, has placed even more pressure on Gordon Strachan as the
chorus of boos at the the final whistle rained down on WGS.
Gordon Strachan walked away from Middlesbrough this afternoon knowing that he had made the right
choice. The 53-year-old will look back on his year-long spell at the Riverside as a failed attempt
at constructing a team good enough to get out of the Championship.
WGS endured a tough time from the ever passionate Boro faithful during his 12 months in charge
on Teesside and never gained the respect from the supporters, but he might have just gained a small
piece of respect as he knew it was time for a change and that he had taken the team as far as he
could.
