A number of Middlesbrough supporters have heaped praise on James Lea Siliki following his performance in Boro’s 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night.

Neil Warnock’s side went into the game needing to show a swift response following their disappointing performance in their 2-0 defeat at Coventry City on Saturday.

Boro were able to deliver a much better performance at Nottingham Forest with Warnock deciding to play all three of Middlesbrough’s new signings from the start in the shape of Andraz Sporar, Lea Siliki and Onel Hernandez.

As a result, Middlesbrough looked to have a lot more quality in their side in the middle of the park and in the final third as they took advantage of Nottingham Forest’s low confidence and ran out comfortable winners in the end.

Lea Siliki showed signs of what he can bring to the side in his first Championship start and he managed to make three tackles, one interception, one block and won five duels during his 71 minutes on the field at the City Ground.

Many Middlesbrough supporters were encouraged by the midfielder’s performance at Nottingham Forest and they believe that given more time he will become an effective part of the side.
