    After a disappointing loss to Millwall saw Middlesbrough unable to jump into the top six, some fans have begun to lose faith that they will see the Teesside club in the play-offs in May - and they've also begun to question the head coach.

    Boro were the dominant force in the first half but the Lions took the second half by storm after some tactical adjustments from boss Alex Neil.

    When talking after the game, former Middlesbrough midfielder Neil Maddison told the Red Alert podcast that he thinks the game was lost in Middlesbrough's inability to adapt their game style to the hosts' changes.

    "We all understand the way Michael Carrick wants Boro to play but you've also got to mix that identity up," Maddison said.

    "Two games have gone by and the same thing has happened in terms of that first-half quality in the final third and then getting worked out in the second half."

    Is boss Carrick too predictable and, if so, is it costing the side a chance at promotion?

  6. 🎧 Has the damage been done?

    A Damaging Defeat At The Den

    "The word damaging will appear a lot in regards to this game because that's a really damaging defeat.

    "I've never really trusted this team and I think today is another example of many, throughout the whole season, that indicates that. Just very disappointing."

    BBC Radio Tees' Paul Addison is joined by former Middlesbrough midfielder Neil Maddison and fan Dana Malt to discuss a loss for Michael Carrick's side against Alex Neil's Millwall - but who's to blame?

    Neil's tactical changes turned the tide in the second half, whereas Boro's steadfast game style could not adapt to the chess moves from the home dugout at The Den.

    Is the issue mediocre performances from the players or inflexibility from the manager?

    Includes post-match reaction from Carrick.
