'I just tried to psyche the boys a bit': Albert Adomah grows into new role as Boro changing room leader


Unlikely Boro leader Albert Adomah admitted he had been on his soapbox during the half-time break at HUddersfield




Albert Adomah has grown into a new role as changing room leader.


The wing wizard is a key figure on the field. His double at Huddersfield in midweek took his term’s tally to 11 and helped Boro claw back to a 2-2 draw.


Aitor Karanka revealed Adomah inspired in the interval too with a stirring address.


“He told the players what was needed,” said the boss.


And the unlikely leader admitted he had been on his soapbox at the break.


“I just tried to psyche the boys a bit,” he explained.



“Everyone was a bit down. We didn’t have a great start, there were a lot of mistakes and we didn’t get going. I just told the boys to believe more and be much more positive.


“After that everyone psyched each other up to get ready to get out there and grab it by the throat and we did that.”


Adomah admits he is growing into his role as a senior player.


“I haven’t asked to take more responsibility,” he said. “It is coming naturally from me and from the senior players. We are all growing into it.


Every game someone picks up the team, lifts it, either on the pitch or in the changing room.


“It is good that we have that spirit in the squad.”
