10. Adam Clayton - 5.8

11. Lewis Wing - 5.6

12. Paddy McNair - 6.5
(6 ratings) Like Howson, McNair's average mark is reduced by the 5 he was given at Blackburn. Apart from that display, the Northern Ireland international has been a standout performer for Boro this season and earned an 8 at Bristol City last time out. 6.5 Photo: Getty Images
