Burnley point gives us a foothold – Mowbray

FALTERING Middlesbrough are facing the fight of their lives to keep hold of their play-off place.

This is the verdict of manager Tony Mowbray, whose side could be out of the top six by the time they kick-off against visiting Millwall this tea-time if Brighton beat Burnley at the Amex Stadium.

The Teessiders are in grave danger of missing out on the play-offs for the second season running after an uplifting first half of the campaign, with Mowbray’s side having won just once so far in eight Championship games in 2013, taking a miserable four points from a possible 24.
