Middlesborough manager Lennie Lawrence stressed on the fact that he had no thoughts about the upcoming replay of FA cup fourth round against Nottingham Forest or the potential next round opponents Arsenal or Leeds in mind. I
Lennie Lawrence said “We did very well against Borough but it’s a bit too early to talk about Leeds or Arsenal. What we’ve got to worry about is our home game against Saints. It’s a six-pointer in January and if we win we can pull away from the bottom but if we lose and other results go against us, we could be sucked into the bottom three.”
Lennie Lawrence was only focused on what he described as their “most important match of the season” with Southampton.
