'If someone else comes in, I only see that as good depth for the squad'

CONWAY WOULD WELCOME COMPETITION UP FRONT

- By DOM HOWSON

THERE is a huge wave of positivity around Middlesbrough following the club’s stellar start to the season.

Rob Edwards’ troops enter Saturday’s meeting with last year’s Championship playoff finalists Sheffield United on the back of three consecutive wins.

They are second in the table, only below early pacesetters Stoke City on goal difference. Boro have bounced back superbly from their shambolic Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Doncaster Rovers, defeating Millwall and Norwich City to raise hopes of a sustained promotion push.

Two signings could come through the door before the Blades tussle. Left-back Matt Targett is close to joining on a season-long loan from Newcastle United and Lausanne striker Kaly Sene is understood to be close to arriving from Lausanne.
