Best manager ever
We were so spineless it was frightening," said Pearce. "Myself and the players were a disgrace.
"Our supporters deserved a hell of a lot better then that. We showed no courage to win the ball.
"I thought we were absolutely awful, from start to finish. I thought the keeper's done okay, but the rest were awful.
"Credit to Middlesbrough, they came here to fulfil a fixture between two tough games and couldn't believe their luck.
"If I was a supporter I'd be disgusted with that performance. We weren't good enough today, a million miles away."
He's the best most honest bloke ever.
