Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate intends to keep on fighting despite the reaction to his side's 1-0 home defeat to Leicester. Southgate was booed by a section of the Riverside fans after a second successive home defeat but insisted he could take the stick and that Boro were still on track. "If fans want to react like that so be it," he said. "I will take whatever stick that is coming my way. "I understand the frustrations. Expectations are high here - people expect us to go straight back up - but we have had some under-par results and performances. "But we need some perspective. Results have gone our way and we are still only three points off a promotion place. We are still very much in it."
