Southgate dejected as Boro let lead slip

Sun, 27 Sep 10:40:15 2009

Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate claimed watching his side let a two-goal lead slip at Coventry felt worse than last week's 5-0 hiding by West Brom.

Defender Sean St Ledger headed Boro in front five minutes before half time before Rhys Williams scored right on the break to put them in control.

But City pulled a goal back through Clinton Morrison and Leon Best fired home deep into injury time to claim a 2-2 draw for Coventry.

"The feeling in the dressing room is similar to last weekend," said Southgate.

"In fact, it might be a little bit worse because we had three points in our grasp and we threw them away - that is difficult to take."

  2. Hard for you to take on board, what about us fans who­ travelled there to see it happen. Not a very good ride­ home. Lets sort things out and take this league by the­ scruff of the neck!!!
