Steve Bone

He's training, isn't he?

He's back out there training.

Not in full training, I don't think, but he's back out there on the grass, as they say.

I don't know if it is grass, but he's back at whatever it is he's on it.

And John Messina was asked about him and he very much played it down because he knows how excited fans will get if they think he's going to play.

He was asked, will we see him this season?

And I think his answer was not to my mind.

So he didn't completely rule it out, but he's not thinking that we will see him.

But I still think we might, just for a game or maybe two at the very end, if we're safe with two games to go, I don't think there will be any point playing him.

Give him more recovery time and get him fit and firing for pre-season.

But you know what an influential player he is, how important he is.

How many assists he's had when he did play this season.

Goal threat wouldn't be the worst person to bring in, would he, if we need him?

Yeah, Middlesbrough have struggled in recent weeks, haven't they?

They've gone a bit off the ball.

They looked nailed on for second place last

behind Coventry.

Actually at one stage they weren't far behind Coventry and you were thinking they could still win the title.

They've had a couple of home defeats.

I think the last one was at home to Millwall where they scored first and then conceded two.
