Simply The Best:
Middlesbrough manager Chris Wilder has been named the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month for December.UTMB
The subtle changes he has made at the Riverside since arriving in November are paying off royally with 13 points from five unbeaten games and just a single goal conceded. Energy levels, confidence and optimism are all on the up.
Wilder said: "It's been a real team effort. It's a been a great start and a terrific month for us. This is a nice reward for both the club and the fans, who have been fantastic. But we have to stay humble and keep working hard."
Sky Sports' EFL pundit Don Goodman said: "When you look at the start that Chris Wilder has made at Middlesbrough, it's a mystery how he was allowed to stay out of the game so long after his departure from Sheffield United last March.
"Their record in December, built on defensive solidity, was exemplary as they dominated a number of difficult fixtures to rise to just outside the Play-Off places."
Middlesbrough wing-back Isaiah Jones has been named the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month for December.
The dynamic 22-year-old contributed four clean sheets, the only goal against Swansea, both assists in the win at Blackpool and a run for the decisive penalty against Bournemouth - not bad for a wing-back in his debut EFL season.
Sky Sports' EFL pundit Don Goodman said: "The young winger has proved a crucial member of Boro's squad in their recent ascent towards the Play-Off positions, particularly impressing in the games against promotion-chasing Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.
"The 22-year-old Londoner was performing well under Neil Warnock and you could argue he has taken his form to another level under Chris Wilder."
