Read on for this week's column where Beags has his say on Middlesbrough, Bournemouth's Callum Wilson, Cardiff and his favourite Championship player to watch...

What are your thoughts on Middlesbrough this season? David Johnston

BEAGS SAYS: David, my thoughts on our beloved Boro remain as they were at the start of the season. I was as excited about their promotion chances as I have been for years, considering the finish to last season and the manager’s quick grasp of what is needed in the Championship followed by a summer of quality acquisitions.

Firstly, Karanka came with a very good pedigree, working with top managers and coaches and with the Spanish national team. He also came with a no-nonsense approach, saying it like it is, even in his broken English. His concise, astute and refreshingly honest post-match assessment of wins, draws or losses, told me we were dealing with a clever, mentally strong individual who knows the game. Then he recruits and produces the strongest and most exciting squad seen at Boro since the European years.

Middlesbrough are unrecognisable from the boring, one-paced predictable side under Gordon Strachan. Now we see a quick, expansive, technically gifted squad with so many attacking options and a defence bolstered by quality, athletic loanees Fredericks and Omeruo that has conceded a division-low 15 goals.

Before the first international break of the season Aitor saw his side lose 1-0 to Reading at home and bemoaned the side’s lack of consistency and told everyone how much he was looking forward to working for two weeks on the training ground with his players and also on trying to bring in players to improve the team/squad.

He was as good as his word, Jelle Vossen and Fredericks arrived on Teesside, heightening the excitement and underlining Karanka’s liking for gifted, athletic individuals.

Boro then embarked on an impressive run that saw them only lose once in 15 league games and frighten the life out of Liverpool at Anfield, just losing out on penalties. They are the real deal and although it’s not a must-win game against Derby live on Sky Sports this Saturday I will be there using it as a barometer to see how they fare against the division’s favourites. Good luck and enjoy what will be an exciting game in an exciting season.

Do you think Bournemouth's Callum Wilson could be a target for Premier League clubs in January? Jack Bunce

BEAGS SAYS: Hi Jack, I can tell you for a fact there are several Premier League clubs, including a couple in the Midlands, kicking themselves for not taking a punt on Callum when he left
