Head coach Kim Hellberg called this period a “rollercoaster of emotions” as despite doing so many things going well during the season, Boro were left with nothing tangible to show for it.<\/p>\n
They spent 35 of the 46 matchdays in the Championship’s top two and went top in early February after a sparkling spree of six straight wins, but they were crucially undone by a late run of only two wins in 10 games.<\/p>\n
The Swede has been a revelation since he replaced Rob Edwards in November after his predecessor’s departure for Wolves, with his team playing some great football and the 38-year-old’s humility really shining through with the Teesside public. <\/p>\n
But Hellberg’s biggest task possibly lies ahead of him in the coming weeks in picking up the whole club to go again come August.<\/p>\n
“It’s been two heart-breaking losses in two weeks, which makes it very, very tough,” he said.<\/p>\n
“It’s been an emotional drain, so when the game ended today, you feel very, very empty. Disappointed, sad, flat in emotional terms.<\/p>\n
“All the things you put into the year and into training sessions. It’s a very tough moment, a sad moment.<\/p>\n
“I wish I could have done better through this period – that’s what I always go to. I wish I could have found better solutions when we didn’t score those goals.<\/p>\n
“It’s my responsibility and I have to try after the break to develop myself to help the players better to score more and create more and work forward.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Head coach Kim Hellberg called this period a “rollercoaster of emotions” as despite doing so many things going…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":442164,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-442163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=442163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442163\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/442164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=442163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=442163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=442163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
