Why Kim Hellberg was juggling pride and anger after Middlesbrough’s draw at Watford

Middlesbrough head coach Kim Hellberg experienced mixed emotions of pride and anger following his team's 0-0 draw at Watford. While Hellberg praised his side for bouncing back from a midweek defeat against Wrexham, he expressed deep frustration that their overall dominance failed to produce a victory. Middlesbrough held nearly 75 percent possession and produced 18 shots at Vicarage Road but could not score.

Playing without injured top scorer Will Lankshear, Boro missed chances through Jeremy Sarmiento, Callum Brittain, Riley McGree, and Kyle Joseph. The scoreless draw caused Middlesbrough to drop to second place in the Championship behind Birmingham City heading into the November international break.
