Boro Players 'Not Robots'!

By Boro Mad
Tuesday, 20th October 2009
Gareth Southgate got it right against Derby County on Tuesday with a 2-0 win at the Riverside and he is continuing to shrug of suggestions that his job is under threat.

Gareth Southgate: "I am just getting on with my job. Because I am that busy with what's going on here, I don't get the chance to read, thankfully, anything else or listen to anything else.

""Everything else is irrelevant. I am getting on with doing my job.

"We are talking about pressure, but the reality is it is all relative and we have got to be able to handle that.

"We are sportsmen and coaches who are paid to deal with that. Whatever walk of life you are in, there is pressure to deal with.

"We have got to be big enough to handle that. If you want to achieve anything at any level, then you have got to be able to cope with pressure, be it home, away, whatever it might be.

"I don't see that as any sort of an excuse.

"But we are not dealing with robots, we are dealing with human beings, and we are not dealing with established top international players at the moment, we are dealing with guys who are on their way up, so we are going to have days where it doesn't happen for them.

"But we have got to make sure they understand the importance of it, they understand the consequences of under-performing and that we put things in place to make sure we perform better than that tomorrow night."
