Jeremie Aliadiere insists Middlesbrough's dressing room isn't downbeat over their disappointing form this season.

And the Frenchman declares he's happy with his decision to join Boro from Arsenal in the summer: "I am enjoying it here. I play every game, which is what I wanted and why I came here. Of course I would prefer some better results and to win more games and to be in a better situation in the table.

"We should have done better with the players we've got."

He added: "We all know we are in a difficult situation at the moment and we know we need to get points now and to start winning games, but the atmosphere in the dressing room is the same as before.

"We've got the ability in the team to be higher in the table, let's hope we can turn things around and climb the table. We all want to fight to get back on track and get points on board."
