    So, what did you make of Middlesbrough's January transfer dealings?

    Boro made six notable additions to their squad with forwards Morgan Whittaker and Kelechi Iheanacho joining from Plymouth and Sevilla respectively.

    Winger Samuel Iling-Junior came in from Aston Villa while defender Ryan Giles from Hull City and Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers also arrived on loan.

    Middlesbrough were also able to complete a permanent deal for defender George Edmundson from Ipswich after his temporary spell over the first half of the season.

    Leading scorer Emmanuel Latte Lath is set for a move away to Atlanta United in MLS with other major departures being midfielder Alex Gilbert on loan to Charlton, defender Matt Clarke to Derby and forward Isaiah Jones to Luton.

    Is all this enough to get Michael Carrick's side into the Championship play-offs at the end of the season?

    Ben Doak has started 21 Championship games for Middlesbrough this season

    Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick has confirmed winger Ben Doak will be out for a number of weeks because of a thigh injury.

    The on-loan Liverpool player missed Monday night's 3-2 home defeat by Sunderland in the Championship.

    "He felt his thigh in training, and we'll have to see. It's probably a number of weeks, if anything, not days, but I don't think it'll be too long," Carrick told BBC Radio Tees.

    Middlesbrough signed Doak on a season-long loan in August, and despite speculation he could be recalled in the January transfer window, he will remain at the Riverside for the remainder of the campaign.

    Boro completed the signings of Aston Villa winger Samuel Iling-Junior and former Manchester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho on deadline day, ahead of the loss to Sunderland.

  3. 'Horrible way to lose' - Carrickpublished at 23:08 3 February

    Michael Carrick's Middlesbrough have won two of their last nine in the Championship

    Middlesbrough head coach Michael Carrick admitted that Ryan Giles' 87th minute own-goal was a 'horrible way' to lose the Tees-Wear derby.

    Boro had led 1-0 through Delano Burgzorg and pulled it back to 2-2 through Hayden Hackney's fine strike, but Giles' unfortunate contribution settled the match in Sunderland's favour.

    Defeat keeps Boro in seventh, outside the play-offs on goal difference from West Bromwich Albion.

    "It's a horrible way to lose a game, especially a game of this significance and stature," he said.

    "To lose the game and concede those goals, an own goal and a deflection is difficult but we have to accept it.

    "We started the game ever so well, went ahead, looked like we could add to that and were in a really good place.

    "There was a two-goal swing which we dealt with well and we came back into it well, but we kind of drifted second half and didn't do enough."
