Our Boro writer Joe Nicholson has attended every fixture so far this season and averaged out his player ratings from the Teessiders’ league matches. Five reflects an underwhelming performance, six solid, and seven impressive. Scroll down and flick through our picture gallery to see how each player has fared.
13. Paddy McNair - 6.4
(11 ratings) Many would say the midfielder has been Boro's best performer so far this season and his standout displays against Millwall, Bristol City and Preston earned him 8s. McNair's average has been dragged down slightly after a disappointing showing at Birmingham last time out. 6.4 Photo: Getty Images
14. Marvin Johnson - 5.8
(9 ratings) The winger has been awarded two 7s this season after impressing against Luton and Reading. He has also struggled at times, hence the reason he hasn't started every game. 5.8 Photo: Frank Reid
15. Marcus Tavernier - 6
(3 ratings) After barely featuring early in the season , the winger has looked lively since being recalled to the side. 6 Photo: Frank Reid
16. Marcus Browne - 5
(8 ratings) It's been a stop-start beginning to the youngster's Boro career who showed what he's capable of in the recent draw with Preston. 5 Photo: Jan Kruger
