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