2. RWB: Djed Spence
Caused some problems in the second half against Watford and looks like Boro's only natural option in the right wing-back role. Photo: Alex Livesey
3. CB: Anfernee Dijksteel
Has performed well on the right of a back three and is one of the first names on the team sheet right now. Photo: Clive Brunskill
