Middlesbrough boss Gordon Strachan will settle for victory at lowly Peterborough on Saturday, no matter how it comes.

Don't Miss

The Scot is still waiting for his first win as Boro manager after three games at the helm, and he heads for London Road with only a point and a single goal to show for his efforts to date.

"If you can get on a run - it might start with a lucky one, it might start with a great one, you never know - but we are all looking in this division," Strachan told a press conference.

"It's a hard, hard division. There's nothing tricky about it, there's nothing cosmic about the football. It's pretty straightforward, the football here, and it's good.

"But it's the ones who have the goalscorers who will be promoted, that's for sure."
