Michael Carrick: Middlesbrough still in a good place for play-offs despite losses
Riley McGree's return to feature for Boro is one positive for Michael Carrick going into the final weekMiddlesbrough cannot allow back-to-back defeats to impact on their forthcoming Championship play-off campaign, says boss Michael Carrick.
Fourth-placed Boro were beaten at Rotherham on Monday, and saw Anfernee Dijksteel sent off as the Millers secured their Championship status.
That loss followed a 2-1 league defeat by Luton the previous Monday.
"It's not a time for us to be 'on the floor' by any stretch," Carrick told BBC Radio Tees.
"We've got great opportunities ahead, and we're really looking forward to that."
