Alan Irvine: "I'm not over-happy. We have got a point, but I look for more than just a result. There are a lot of things we will need to take out of that game and improve upon.

"We were poor in the first half. I was praying for half-time to come to address some of the issues that needed addressing.

"I thought we got the response almost from the kick-off in the second half. We then started to stretch the game out a bit better than we had in the first half.

"The lads showed great character again. They don't play as well as I would like at different times, but they keep going and going.

"They deserve enormous credit for keeping going. It's a fantastic quality to have.

"One of the things we identified in our video work was that Boro are a fantastic counter-attacking team.

"We were aware that at any time we were going forward in numbers we had to be aware there might be a counter-attack.

"To get done for the second goal with a counter-attack was extremely disappointing."
