Will Lankshear was left out of Middlesbrough's starting XI for Saturday's Championship game against Cardiff City
Cardiff City manager Brian Barry-Murphy stated there was no sense of relief when Middlesbrough benched striker Will Lankshear on Saturday. Barry-Murphy explained that his squad instead focused on the threat posed by replacement Kyle Joseph, emphasizing that Cardiff concentrates on its own players rather than opposition talent.
Cardiff let a two-goal lead slip at the Riverside Stadium, with Middlesbrough equalizing 2-2 via goals from Tommy Conway and substitute Lankshear. Cardiff also had Gabriel Osho sent off late, but Barry-Murphy praised his side's resilience in holding on for a hard-earned point.
