Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick says the side's season "is still alive" despite a disappointing 2-1 loss to Sheffield Wednesday.
The Owls had not won in six league games before defeating Boro however with both Coventry City and Bristol City also conceding a defeat, the loss has not left the Teesside club worse off on the table.
"In the end, it hasn't changed a lot of what the next two games are going to bring but certainly today, we could have won the game and everyone else could have won their games and we'd be in the same situation," Carrick told BBC Radio Tees.
