Is Gibson Losing Patience With Southgate?

Last updated : 30 December 2008 By Boro Mad

Gareth Southgate: "Steve's been loyal because we've done what's been asked of us and he knows the circumstances we're working under.

"But if we're not doing the job an don't getting the results then I don't expect him to treat me any differently to any other chairman. It's not something I take for granted."

Boro's home form has been frightening of late.

They have only won one game at the Riverside since the 2-1 win over Stoke City back in August, that victory over Man City with an Afonso Alves penalty and injury time goal from Gary O'Neill.

That's one win in eight home fixtures, and the natives are getting restless.

Barrow come to Teeside on Saturday, and only a hefty win is going to impress the doubters.
