MATCHDAY QUOTES
“I felt Middlesbrough would not score at that stage.
“It's funny how people always revert to type.
“You can teach players to knock the ball to feet but when they need to score quickly they whack the ball high into the centre.
“That's what they did and it worked. It was a choker.
“But we have to keep our chins up and carry on at Blackburn next Saturday.
“The teams who go up are those who deal with setbacks.
“This might look like a major setback but we are still top of the division."
Graham Taylor.
