It's been a pretty average start to the season for Middlesbrough in the Championship this year and Garry Monk needs to start finding a way to stop all the draws happening.

For sure, when Boro get it all hooked up they look like a top class, formidable side but that has not happened enough and there just seems to be almost too many options for Monk to use. Certainly, he needs to find a system that works well and comprises the right blend of style and substance and the need to do that is only growing.

Who plays for them this weekend, then, remains to be seen but it seems as though Martin Braithwaite is in some form with him scoring at the weekend in a 2-2 draw with Barnsley. The summer signing does really have the potential to be a star for the club and he has sent this message to the fans, saying he's not seen anything quite like it - via the club's Twitter account:

Pleasing stuff for Boro fans to hear, then, and they'll certainly be cheering their side on again this weekend, with the hope that a win is returned for their efforts.

The Verdict

Braithwaite is a good player, he just needs Monk to find a system to help get the best out of him and his team-mates regularly.

Boro are flooded with good attacking talent and if it can just be put together then they will start rocketing up the table this season.
