One win could change our season, says Middlesbrough’s Clayton
Midfielder Adam Clayton believes one win could change the course of Middlesbrough’s season and give them the momentum needed to stay in the Premier League.
Aitor Karanka’s men are winless in the league since December 17, and have not scored a league goal since January, slipping to 19th in the table.
They host Manchester United at the Riverside Stadium on Sunday, before trips to fellow strugglers Hull and Swansea.
However, Clayton, who has clocked up 131 appearances for the Teessiders since joining from Huddersfield Town in 2014, remains defiant that mood in the Boro camp is positive and the players are convinced they can stay in the top tier.

“We have got 11 cup finals now,” said the 28-year-old. “We have some massive games coming up.
“And we have to go into them believing that if we play our best we can get the number of points we need to stay up.
“We have keep working and keep fighting and keep believing that if we can turn one result into a win then it will turn for us.
“You just need one win. Swansea have done it and everyone said they were dead and buried.
“Other teams have been dead and buried too. A little change, or a little bit of luck, and all of a sudden it looks a lot more rosy.”
