McCarthy: Two Tough Games
Saturday, 20th Dec 2014 06:00
Town boss Mick McCarthy admits that the Blues have two tough games over the Christmas period. Today’s home match against second-placed Middlesbrough is followed by a trip to Brentford, who are currently just one point and one place behind the Blues in fifth, on Boxing Day.
“There are two really tough fixtures over Christmas starting with Middlesbrough,” he said.
“The two games are against two of the best teams in the league. I think two of the teams, who are like us and put a shift in.
“I keep saying that and people think ‘Put a shift in?’ like it’s a dirty word. When you don’t put a shift in you get beaten, and that’s been proven and that’s why Brentford and Middlesbrough are up where they are because they’re two tough teams, good teams but tough.”
