The Lankshear factor a big miss for Boro
- Published
The correlation between Middlesbrough's stumble in the past two games and the injury to top scorer Will Lankshear has been a major talking point amongst fans.
Boro have taken just one point from their past two games without the 21-year-old, failing to score in both games.
"The Lankshear factor is a big one," The Gazette's Craig Johns told BBC Radio Tees.
"He offers so much in terms of his presence, in terms of his natural aura but also his movement in and around the penalty area. His hold up play with his back to goal, which I thought Kyle Joseph was particularly poor at in the Wrexham game.
