There’s optimism in the Boro dressing room after the club’s management pulled a rabbit out of a hat by hiring a former Manchester United assistant manager, and Michael Carrick will be hoping to kick things off with a win. Middlesbrough have shown some promise in their last two games, picking up three points. Preston, at one point, had an excellent defensive record and poor offensive performance, but that has all transformed. Although they have scored seven goals in their last five games, they have conceded nine in the same period, especially when four of them came against rivals Blackpool last weekend at Bloomfield Road.
