Oh, dear ... defence is not looking so hot, chaps </BLOCKQUOTE>
Didn't help the ref sent off one of our defenders after he tugged a shirt and gave a pen away after 8 mins. The Heerenveen manager even ran on the pitch to tell the ref to reverse the decesion but to no avail.
We are still in desperate need of a defender. I don't think the likes of Bates and Davies are good enough and Wheater and Hines aren't ready yet. Tonight showed that.
Team was;
Boro: Turnbull (Knight, 46), McMahon, Taylor (Bates, 69), Hines, Wheater, Morrison (Davies, 17), Kennedy (Liddle, 75), Downing (Boateng, 46), Johnson, Mendieta (capt), Maccarone. Subs: Rochemback, Yakubu.
