  4. 'Boro lacked killer instinct' - Maddison

    Former Middlesbrough midfielder Neil Maddison believes Boro lacked the "killer instinct" to compete against Premier League side Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

    Boro were knocked out of the competition following a 3-0 defeat despite enjoying 59.3% possession in the match and attempting more shots (16 to eight).

    "You can have all the possession you want, possession doesn't win you games," academy ambassador Maddison told BBC Radio Tees.

    "I thought we could have gambled a little more around their box. A couple of chances where you can get your shots off, put balls into the area, but I felt they coped with that really well.

    "We played some lovely stuff and I was really impressed at times. The difference was both 18-yard boxes. They defended theirs really well and we didn't."

  5. 'Massive step forward' despite cup exit - Hellberg

    Hellberg: 'A lot of positives to take' from Palace defeat

    Middlesbrough boss Kim Hellberg insisted his side took "a massive step forward" despite exiting the Carabao Cup with a 3-0 defeat by Crystal Palace on Tuesday.

    Jorgen Strand Larsen scored headers in each half before Daichi Kamada added a third as Palace advanced to the fourth round.

    Hellberg admitted his players needed to be better in certain moments but was happy with the performance and, with more players coming back from injury, believes competition for places will see the team get even better.

    "It is tough to say it was a 3-0 game," he told BBC Radio Tees. "In many ways we were quite good. When they were around our box they were better and we don't defend the first two goals as well as you need to. In general, we had a good game, we had chances to score at 1-0.

    "We were around their box a lot of times but we need to do more in those moments, be more direct, take the ball central when we had the chance but in general a lot of positive things even if the result was not what we wanted.

    "It feels tough to be down 2-0 after 55 minutes but that is also a quality thing. It should have been a more even game for a longer time.

    "I have a lot of different players and now more people are coming back and you can see the quality in the squad and how they want to work and how we play football.

    "We need to keep taking steps around the two boxes, but I think this game in terms of how we play was a massive step forward against a very strong side. There will be a lot of competition around and you need to take your chance when you play."

    The trip to Selhurst Park was Boro's fifth away game in six matches and their third over the past week. Hellberg is glad to be back home against Norwich on Saturday but is delighted with how his players have handled the schedule.

    "It has been travelling all the time and hotels and everything so it will be nice to be back at The Riverside," he said. "I am happy and pleased for the supporters and how the players have done over this week and played football. A lot of the things we have done have shown we are on a good path forward."

    Middlesbrough kept their first clean sheet of the Championship season after eking out a 1-0 win over Queens Park Rangers on Saturday, and it's the positives to take from their gutsy performance that has fan Dana Malt optimistic for the future.

    "It's not always about the swashbuckling Boro, it sometimes does need to be about the gritty Boro," Malt said.

    "[Will] Lankshear, seventh goal of the season - that's crazy! First start for Ashley Phillips. He did look like he was struggling with the pace, but he's not had a pre-season. Radek Vitek had a good game today, that's a confidence boost.

    "This team are still adapting, and there's a sense that there is more to come from Boro, and that's exciting."
