'If It's Football, It's Vital'

Performance related reward from Boro boss

With seven pre-season signings already, Middlesbrough boss Tony Mowbray has warned his regulars not to take their own places for granted.

Boro start their quest for promotion this weekend with a tricky looking trip to Barnsley and they will certainly be hoping to go at least one better than last season when narrowly missing out on the play-offs.

Mowbray has given everyone a chance to stake a claim for inclusion during pre-season and says his final choices will be based solely upon performance and not reputation.

"I think throughout pre-season it's performances that will get them in the team, because there is some competition and they have to perform when they get the opportunity," he told the Northern Echo.

There could yet be more arrivals at the Riverside with Josh McEachran, Romeo Castelen and Ricardo Fuller recently lined with moves to the north-east.
