Even after ten days of the season, it is east to see patterns emerging, players who might be out of favour and those already regretting summer decisions.

Few new summer recruits will be too despondent if they've missed out early doors, but players who opted to stay put might be thinking a move away would have been better.

With the loan window still wide open, the chance for players to get out of their current situation is still there.

Boro have started the season well, seven points from nine, but one or two of their players might be hoping the next week or two brings a move away from Tony Pulis, especially as they'll be bringing in even more fresh talent.

FLW looks at the Boro players who need to leave the Riverside to kick-start their season.

Fletcher was farmed out on loan last season and although he's been coming off the bench this time around, his future must lie elsewhere.

Right now, Boro won't get back the £6.5m they paid for him and with a forward likely to be on the shopping list, his chances are going to become fewer.

A loan move to League One might bring goals and confidence which could get him back on track.

Johnson has been linked with a move away, but he has to in order to get his season on track.

He's never settled since leaving Oxford and only being in a side regularly will bring him any sort of satisfaction. the likely destination is Bramall Lane, he can only hope he gets a good run in the side there.

He's a forgotten man at Boro, two spells on loan haven't brought a permanent move and his most likely route back onto the pitch is away from Middlesbrough.

His last spell away was at Zulte Waregem and Belgium is perhaps the likeliest place for him to get some minutes under his belt once more.
