Carrick 'doing a decent job' but 'has no plan B'

Middlesbrough's play-off hopes suffered a setback in the 1-0 loss at Millwall on Saturday.

Former Boro midfielder Neil Maddison told the Red Alert podcast that boss Michael Carrick's inability to adapt their playing style in-game contributed to the defeat.

Kenny: Carrick obviously lacks tactical savvy. He's clearly a reactive manager rather than proactive. He rarely, if ever, changes formation, making like for like substitutions.
