Is Carrick costing Boro a play-off place?
After a disappointing loss to Millwall saw Middlesbrough unable to jump into the top six, some fans have begun to lose faith that they will see the Teesside club in the play-offs in May - and they've also begun to question the head coach.Boro were the dominant force in the first half but the Lions took the second half by storm after some tactical adjustments from boss Alex Neil.When talking after the game, former Middlesbrough midfielder Neil Maddison told the Red Alert podcast that he thinks the game was lost in Middlesbrough's inability to adapt their game style to the hosts' changes."We all understand the way Michael Carrick wants Boro to play but you've also got to mix that identity up," Maddison said."Two games have gone by and the same thing has happened in terms of that first-half quality in the final third and then getting worked out in the second half."Is boss Carrick too predictable and, if so, is it costing the side a chance at promotion?Let us know your thoughts here.

Lions set to be without 16 players as England star called into squad
Lions set to be without 16 players as England star called into squad The British & Irish Lions will be without 16 players for their first training camp Andy Farrell, the British & Irish Lions head coach (Image:) The British & Irish Lions will be without 16 players from Andy Farrell's 38-man squad for this week's training camp in Portugal. Farrell has called up experienced England hooker Jamie George as cover for Ireland pair Dan Sheehan and Ronan Kelleher who will both be involved in next Saturday's United Rugby Championship final between Leinster and the Bulls in Dublin. The Lions boss selected his original squad with full knowledge he would be without a significant chunk of players for the Portugal training camp and the warm-up clash with Argentina at the Aviva Stadium on June 20. Both the Gallagher Premiership and URC finals take place next weekend, while the French Top 14 takes place on June 28. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. Leinster are providing a remarkable 12 players to the tour, while Scotland playmaker Finn Russell and England tighthead Will Stuart play for Bath and second-row Ollie Chessum is at Leicester Tigers. As far as the Top 14 goes it only affects Scotland full-back Blair Kinghorn who plays for Toulouse which isn't ideal considering Hugo Keenan will also be unavailable for the trip to Portugal. Article continues below This scenario has been commonplace in the professional era with Warren Gatland without 12 players for the training camp in Jersey ahead of the tour of South Africa four years ago. Join WalesOnline Rugby's WhatsApp Channel here to get the breaking news sent straight to your phone for free Farrell's decision to call Jamie George into the training squad has come at the expense of Wales hooker Dewi Lake who was heavily touted to tour for months. Along with a shortage of hookers, Farrell will also be low on second-rows with Chessum, along with Leinster duo Mick McCarthy and James Ryan, unavailable. With no Russell for now England duo Fin Smith and Marcus Smith could be in line to figure against Argentina. Wales pair Tomos Williams and Jac Morgan will attend the Portugal training camp and have a great opportunity to hit the ground running ahead of the Lions' clash with the Pumas in Dublin. With Jamison Gibson-Park and Josh van der Flier out, both Williams and Morgan will have a head start on the Leinster duo.

Lions squad headache for Andy Farrell as 16 players unavailable for first camp
The British and Irish Lions training camp was always going to clash with the two domestic finals and it means Andy Farrell's absentee list runs into double digits with Leinster and Bath among the finalists The British and Irish Lions will embark on their first training camp before heading to Australia without a staggering 16 members of their 38-man squad. Andy Farrell 's men will head to Portugal for some warm weather training before they play their tour opener against Argentina in Dublin on June 20. Rugby's calendar meant he was always going to be without certain individuals due to a clash with the Premiership and URC finals, which take place the weekend before. After the weekend's semi-finals Leinster, Bath and Leicester Tigers have all booked themselves finals berths. The Irish side provide the bulk of the squad - 12 members to be exact. Bath have two, including fly-half Finn Russell whilst Leicester provide one. The French calendar also means that the only Top 14 player - Toulouse fullback Blair Kinghorn - will still be playing for his club and another big name absentee. This is not the first time the scenario has arose - four years ago Gatland was missing 12 players from his 37-man squad that went to Jersey before their first game against Japan at Murrayfield. Farrell knew this was a possibility and has been making contingency plans. It is understood that several players will be on standby to come into Farrell's squad, but will not stay with the team when they fly to Australia. The Lions boss will call up those players who are already at the top of his standby list so that they are somewhat integrated in the squad should they receive a call-up to head Down Under as injury cover later down the line. The Lions want to avoid a repeat of the controversy from the 2017 tour to New Zealand - which became known as 'geography six'. Then head coach Warren Gatland called up six players based on their geographical proximity to the Lions, rather than the best man for the job, as he was accused of devaluing the jersey. The Times has already reported that Jamie George will join Lions training in Portugal next week as cover for Dan Sheehan and Ronan Kelleher. Farrell will be missing two of this three hookers due to Leinster playing in the final with Luke Cowan-Dickie the only original member of the squad available. He will also be without three of his second row options in James Ryan, Joe McCarthy and Ollie Chessum. The two men tipped to battle for the 15 shirt - Kinghorn and Hugo Keenan - are also absent. The two Smiths - Fin and Marcus - will eye the fly-half berth when the Lions face Argentina as they look to stake their claim. Russell has been tipped as the man to wear the 10 shirt but Fin Smith has made himself the starter for England and is seen as perhaps favouring Farrell's gameplan more.

Leinster's contingent want to end their lengthy period without a title and could be galvanised by such success. That said, a loss to the Bulls, who they'll play at Croke Park next weekend, would be a huge blow for a group who have continued to come up short. Russell can lead Bath to Premiership glory for the first time in nearly two decades and put to bed any doubts over the lack of silverware on his CV.
