Ahead of a crucial game against Coventry City, middlesbrough suffered significant injuries.
Helberg ‘proud’ of Middlesbrough finishing top of table
Kim Hellberg quickly becomes signing for this season championship. Replacing Rob Edwards after his mid-season decision to join Wolves was no easy task, but the Swede has simply taken Middlesbrough to a whole new level in their pursuit of automatic promotion.

Helberg deserves all the credit for this and he can’t help but admit he’s proud of his team now at the top of the league.
he told sky sports: “What I’m most proud of is how we changed our style of play mid-season. Almost every number you see is very different from the previous coach to me. There’s no right or wrong way to do this, it’s just a different way to play.
“When I arrived we were still in a good position but now we are doing things in a different way. We try to be an attacking, offensive team. We want to take the game into our own hands and trust ourselves and trust our feet, not the opponent.”

The former Chelsea man has been sidelined since the game against Norwich City at the end of January but could now be given the opportunity to feature in the team’s biggest game of the season.
Heading into the January transfer window, Middlesbrough have a clear idea of what Castledine can offer if he returns in time for Monday’s game.
“We want to sort that out. He’s a good player. He did a great job at Huddersfield – did a lot of good things. He has the ability to score a lot of goals. So he’s a good player.”Heilberg Before Castledine moved in January)
The 20-year-old is yet to score for Middlesbrough, but after scoring 10 goals in the league for Huddersfield Town, his goal-scoring instinct needs no introduction.
The stage is certainly set for a grand comeback. There was no better way than to score his first goal as a Middlesbrough player against Coventry City, putting Helberg’s side five points clear at the top of the table.
