One month on from Jonathan Woodgate’s Manager of the Month award and it is almost as if December never happened. Off the field, the weather is worse than ever and the Christmas trees and light-adorned houses are a faint memory. On the field and Middlesbrough look to have forgotten all about the great form they […]
Off the back of a battling display at Griffin Park, which ultimately saw Middlesbrough return to Teesside empty handed, Jonathan Woodgate now takes his team accross the Pennines to the DW Stadium for a showdown with Wigan Athletic.

Transfer deadline day is upon us! Jonathan Woodgate’s first January window as a manager will slam shut at 11:00pm tonight.
