The game at Wigan tomorrow is so so important for Boro. McClaren cannot field a weak team there is too much at stake.
A victory against the Division One high fliers will not be easy but the fans need it to restore their dented pride and reduced aspirations for the 2003/04 season.
A defeat would be dreadful for supporters morale and importantly, for the club, future attendances at the Riverside.
Maccarone to start the game is a fair bet. But who with up front?
