It's been an eventful start to the January transfer window for Middlesbrough, with Liverpool loanee Ben Doak the subject of Premier League transfer bids. So how will this month play out for the winger?

And what about Boro striker Emmanuel Latte Lath? We discuss the situation with both, as well as reflecting on the draw with Cardiff.

Morgan Rogers, Emmanuel Latte Lath, the Chelsea cup ties, the summer transfer window, the first half of the current Championship season - it's been an up and down 2024 for Boro.

We look back on the year and also assess what 2025 could bring.

Merry Christmas!

Middlesbrough's winning run came to an end with defeat to Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday night. We reflect on that game and the talking points to emerge from the Riverside, including:

• The importance of Finn Azaz
• Micah Hamilton's start to life on Teesside
• The latest on the injury and illness front
• What does Hull City's manager swap mean for Boro ahead of Saturday's game?

Middlesbrough return to action this weekend after the international break, but will Aidan Morris or Hayden Hackney be involved? We discuss the pair amid this week's injury concerns.

On the subject of internationals, Ben Doak has starred for Scotland, but that won't change the winger's mentality or the short or long-term plan for the teenager, says Mark Drury, from BBC Tees, who joins Scott Wilson this week.

We also look ahead to Saturday's game at Oxford.

What a difference a week makes! Boro bounced back from their Coventry defeat with two emphatic wins to go into the international break on a high.

We reflect on the wins over QPR and Luton and assess the talking points to come out of the game, including Finn Azaz's brilliance and much-needed consistency.

We also talk about the love for Tony Mowbray after Boro's former boss appeared as a guest on BBC Tees over the weekend.

Have you managed to get over the frustration of Norwich yet?

We reflect on Middlesbrough's Carrow Road draw and look ahead to the visit of Coventry City this weekend.

Michael Carrick marked his two-year anniversary as Middlesbrough boss with a much-needed win over Sheffield United.

But the obvious challenge now for Boro is to build on that and string together a run of consistent positive results.

We reflect on the Blades win and preview the trip to Norwich City this weekend - and discuss what appears to be a new defensive pecking order and what happens next in attack after Emmanuel Latte Lath was dropped but came off the bench to end his wait for a goal.

And we also look back on Carrick's time in charge so far.
