Billy Davies' side are now just outside the play-off places heading into a big night of football in the Championship.
17 games in 2013 have yielded a return of just 8 points leaving 'Boro still looking over their shoulders at the relegation battle.
Defeat at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday continued that dismal run but manager Tony Mowbray was in defiant mood at the final whistle, insisting that he will remain at the helm in a bid to turn around the fortunes of the club he served so well as a player.
