Following an on-field exchange between two of our players towards the end of the second half in our narrow defeat at the Riverside Stadium on Tuesday night, manager Brian McDermott said: “I’ve now had an opportunity to see back the footage of last night’s incident and I have talked with both Danny and Paul today.

"It happened in the heat of the moment, during an extremely tight game against a very good Middlesbrough side, but I have reminded both players of their responsibilities to both the club and its supporters.”
