Tony Mowbray says he is confident Middlesbrough's scouts will get it right

Middlesbrough manager Tony Mowbray is confident his scouting team will find the right players for the club this summer.

Mowbray also says he understands fans frustration at Boro's lack of progress this term. "We get judged on results because it's a results business yet trying to build a football team is very difficult," he said. "We want to finish the job we've started and always knew was going to be a long-term one. But we understand that if you don't win football matches the pressure mounts and supporters get irritated and think there's a Jose Mourinho waiting round the corner to come and change everything with a magic wand. "That's football and I understand that. Everyone has their opinion on the team and on the results. And yet I'd have to say as a team we haven't been as bad as the results we've had over the last few months just as we probably weren't as good as the results we had over the first few months of the season. "In the world of football, if you get beaten you must be rubbish and if you're win you're okay. "My nature is to keep fighting. This club has shown that sort of resolve over the last 30 years - if we hadn't, where would we be? "We built a big expectation in the first half of this season that we were going to do it this year. Yet we'll finish in this league where we ultimately deserve to with the group of players we've got. "We have to deal with the reality that we haven't won enough football matches. I only want to see this team, this club and this town prosper. The chairman feels the same and understands the problems of the last few years and I would like to think supporters understand that as well."
