I've watched a couple of Boro games this season and Brittain was really good in both.
Brittain is the better player as it stands right now but Alebiosu might develop into a better right back given time.
For all the talk of the squad overhaul in the summer, it's once again the academy that comes to the fore.
Pratt and Litherland were excellent, Atcheson also had a good game when he came on.
Cantwell, Tronstad, Ohashi all excellent also.
It feels like Gestede has picked out VI for the "project" and he'll be backing him for the full 3 years of his contract.
I don't envisage any situation occurring for the rest of the season that would result in his dismissal, and I include relegation in that.
Only chance he's going if Pasha is stabbing everyone in the back right now in India (and he will be) and putting a case forward that he can salvage everything and turn it all around. That would probably be the end for both VI and RG.
