Mark Robins: 'Draw was a fair result'

Mark Robins has claimed that a draw was a fair result from Huddersfield Town's trip to face Middlesbrough on Tuesday night.

The Terriers conceded a late Ben Gibson goal as the hosts earned a 1-1 draw but Robins believes that his team could have claimed all three points.

"It was a closely fought contest and I thought that Middlesbrough were good tonight," Robins told the club's official website. "They threw the kitchen sink at us at times and we have ended up conceding a very soft goal. Had we defended better from the corner we would have gone home with three points.

"They have got good quality and I think a draw was a fair result. It could have been better for us though and picking three points up would have been a big boost ahead of Saturday's game."

Huddersfield are now ninth in the Championship table, while Middlesbrough sit in 19th position.
