Boro Still Waiting For Alves To Light The Touchpaper!
The Brazilian, who arrived at the Riverside from Heerenveen just over a year ago, has suffered a lean spell in front of goal this term with Boro embroiled in a relegation dogfight.
Brad Jones: "He's working so hard. He's changed his game a bit to suit the boys. Internally we all notice it and I hope the fans do as well.
"He's putting a lot more work in and putting the defence under pressure, running down the channels and getting shots off.
"Maybe he's not getting the goals, but he'll get his reward soon."
