Strachan Praise For 'Written Off' Stars
Gordon Strachan says he was delighted to see players knock on his door ASKING to play ... despite struggling with injuries. Gordon Strachan: "Scott McDonald is nowhere near fit but he wanted to play and Emanuel Pogatetz was the same. "They walked in at different times in the morning and told me they were fit. "I had no idea they were going to come and do that because I'd written them off for the game. "Poggy said: 'The team needs a bit of help and I'll help you.' It was fantastic." 2009/10 BORO RESULTS MACCLESFIELD 0 BORO 3 (Arca pen, Emnes, Franks)(1st half) Coyne, Hoyte, Huth, Williams, Grounds, Yeates, Walker, Digard, Cronesberry, Aliadiere, Martin.
