Halliday: Strong words in the Middlesbrough dressing room after Barnsley defeat

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 09/03/2010 - 14:48

Andrew Halliday has revealed tempers flared after Middlesbrough's 2-0 defeat at Barnsley.

Gordon Strachan's side continue to defy their pre-season promotion favourites tag despite a string of high-profile signings and have so far collected just four points from as many games.

Halliday told the club's official website: "There were a few arguments, it shows how much the defeat hurt. It also shows the team spirit we've got.

"All these new players have come in but there are no cliques. Everybody was disappointed. Everybody was asking themselves for more.

"I hope the fans realise how much everybody was dejected in the dressing room after the game.

"For an hour after the game we were still discussing what went right and what went wrong and trying to take it all in."
