Victory on the night would have been a seventh straight win on home turf and would have equalled a Riverside record of seven in a row. Instead, Boro must ...

And while Barlaser added a bit more control on the ball and Forss some extra energy up top, they just didn't have enough alone to change the game in Boro's favour. Jones is the one in that list who, at his best, could have potentially made a difference last night. Carrick said after that he was close for this one and hopes to have him back for the weekend, but it will still be touch and go. In analysing the game, while there is naturally a habit to focus solely on Boro, there are two teams on that pitch and sometimes you have to credit Stoke City. The Boro head coach introduced Dan Barlaser and Marcus Forss on 65 minutes to try and change that. But, particularly as the second half wore on, and perhaps with the long weekend trip to Swansea City hanging over them, they did look lethargic and lost their usual attacking threat. They made better use of the ball than Boro were able to as Carrick noted his side lacked a spark. It adds to the feeling of it being one point gained. That was just the second draw under Carrick's reign, and in some ways that should be seen as progress. It's telling of where this Boro team is and the belief they have that they can win every game. But they're not perfect and they will have off nights. Off days have been rare for Boro since Carrick was appointed, and so too have been draws.

Both sides went in search of a winner to keep their respective good runs going. The hosts came knocking once again as Akpom's effort from outside the area had the beating of Bonham, but he saw it crash off the crossbar. Middlesbrough were gifted an opportunity to take the lead just five minutes in when Ben Wilmot lazily gifted the ball to top scorer Akpom, leaving him one on one with Jack Bonham, but he failed to hit the target.

Middlesbrough captain Jonny Howson is no longer one yellow card away from a suspension after passing the 37-game cut-off.
