'End product was just not 'good enough': No excuses for Edwards

ROB Edwards refused to make excuses as he pinpointed his side’s lack of a clinical edge as Middlesbrough's unbeaten start to the season ended at Portsmouth.

- 

In a game of few chances for either side, Minhyeok Yang's 26th-minute strike proved enough for the home side.

It's clear problems in attack are a major concern for Boro. Despite shaking things up and bringing Sontje Hansen and Kaly Sene in for just their second starts for the club, Boro still couldn't find that spark in the final third and managed just one shot on target all game.
