Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards says his side has "reacted well" to Saturday's 3-0 away defeat against Watford.
Boro suffered only their second league defeat of the campaign at the hands of Edwards' former club.
"It was frustrating to lose the game," Edwards told BBC Radio Tees.
"You can dissect the life out of it and look at every second, but the bottom line is we have to be a little bit better in a couple of areas in the top end, and for the first time this season we have not defended certain areas as well as we have done.
