The tuesday’s Championship clash at the Riverside Stadium was a wonderful match. Middlesbrough played well but couldn't get a goal. Mikel created alot of opportunities but was disappointed as they were no conversions.
The hope of Mikel's current team hopes of securing a playoff ticket consequently suffered a Hugh set back because the match ended in a 0-1 loss to the visitors.
These are Mikel's word:
“For the last three games, I don’t understand how some of our chances didn’t go in. It’s unbelievable. Sometimes football is very cruel like that.
“We come out to try and put in a good performance and make sure we don’t disappoint the fans.
“We keep getting these chances. The lads are doing everything possible so that we take the lead when we’re on top, get one or two and then we can settle, but it’s just not coming.
“We all sat there in the changing room scratching our heads after the game wondering how on earth we didn’t get a goal. How did we not come away with something? How does one of those not go in?
“We have done everything but score. We’ve hit the woodwork, had shots blocked on the line, hit the last defender… whatever we do they are just not going in for us right now.
“But we have to keep going,’’
