Southgate devastated by draw
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate admits it is 'difficult to take' that his side threw away a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw with Coventry, while Chris Coleman sympathises.[LNB] Boro, who were thrashed by West Brom last weekend, were two goals in front at half-time at the Ricoh Arena courtesy of Sean St Ledger and Rhys Williams.[LNB]But Coventry came roaring back in the final 12 minutes of the match as Clinton Morrison netted before Leon Best scored in injury time.[LNB]Southgate was left devastated by the draw and believes his players are suffering in a similar style to the demolition at the hands of the Baggies.[LNB]Problem"The feeling in the dressing room is similar to last weekend. In fact, it might be a little bit worse because we had three points in our grasp and we threw them away - that is difficult to take," he said.[LNB]"We talked at half-time about getting the third goal because you know that if it goes to 2-1, there can always be a ball in your box that causes you a problem - and that's what happened.[LNB]"In ordinary circumstances, coming here and getting a point would be a good result - but not when you have a two-goal lead."[LNB]Coventry manager Coleman said: "I've been in the other dug out when that happens and it rips your heart out. You can't describe it. When it comes so late it can feel like a win rather than a draw.[LNB]"We had been booed off at half time and to be honest, I would have been booing because we stood off them and were two goals down and could have been more."[LNB]
