The Verdict

Dijksteel will now be looking to keep his place in the club's starting eleven for the foreseeable future after demonstrating glimpses of his talent during Saturday's game.

The defender won two aerial duels and made three clearances (as per WhoScored) in this fixture as helped his side clinch all three-points.

When you consider that Wilder is likely to stick by his preferred 3-5-2 formation in the coming weeks, Dijksteel could potentially thrive in this set-up if he is able to improve as a player under the guidance of his new boss.

Currently 12th in the Championship standings, there is no reason why Middlesbrough cannot close the gap between them and the play-off places over the Christmas period with Dijksteel in their side.
