Mowbray insists McDonald will continue to get chances if he plays well. Mowbray said: "The bottom line is Scott will score goals if you give him chances and yet there will be days when he doesn't play very well and he has to accept the fact that his number will go up and he has to go off or he has to sit on the bench because I think another combination for forwards will be best. "He has to accept that and get on with it and I'm sure he will. "I want everybody to want Middlesbrough to win every game whether they are in the team or not in the team and Scott has showed those qualities over the last few weeks and that's why he's involved. "And if he keeps scoring goals there's a fair chance he'll get minutes on the pitch."
