Cooper 'We Are In No Worse Position'!

Last updated : 26 October 2009 By Boro Mad
Colin Cooper: "I tell the lads unfortunately it comes a bit too much of a coincidence when you concede two to three late goals. We should be sitting fairly close to the top of the table with the points that have gone begging.

"Hopefully we will crack on and learn and not make mistakes in a game that we should have won comfortably.

"Really, all I am doing is filling a hole. If I am here taking charge of the team today what happens next week happens.

"Even last night I was speaking to Gareth (Southgate) on the phone late on. He wished the team and the club all the best for the future. That's the type of guy he is.

"I was given an opportunity by Gareth to join the first team as a coach two-and-a-half years ago. Until I am told differently I will carry on.

"We are in no worse a position than since we came here."
