    Middlesbrough must not start looking at the form of other teams in their chase for the Championship play-offs, according to goalkeeper Mark Travers.

    Boro drew 0-0 at Luton on Saturday and are three points adrift of the top six as they enter the international break.

    "The main thing for us and the club is to just focus on us," Travers told BBC Radio Tees.

    "When you start adding up points your next fixture becomes really difficult and you end up putting pressure on yourselves and thinking about things that aren't in your control.

    "All we can do is go to the next game after the international break, try to get a win and push up the table - we'll just focus on what we can do and hopefully that'll be more than enough come May."

    The Republic of Ireland international joined Middlesbrough on loan from Bournemouth at the end of the January transfer window and has played nine league games, keeping two clean sheets.

    "It's hard coming in January when a lot of the games are being played but I was excited to come here and all the boys have been great with me and it's been easy to settle," he added.

    Middlesbrough return to action after the international break on 29 March when they host Oxford United.

    Carrick's side remain three points adrift of the Championship play-off spots

    Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick was full of praise for his side's character and ability to adapt in the 0-0 draw against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road.

    Boro were forced to defend for long spells as the Hatters created - and wasted - numerous chances.

    "We had a new back four with players playing out of position so we knew it would be a challenge and it proved to be like that," Carrick told BBC Radio Tees. "Sometimes you earn your luck and everyone was fully committed and we needed Trav [Goalkeeper Mark Travers] at times. He made some good saves.

    "It wasn't a classic terms of quality of football. We knew that coming here there would be moments we had to defend. We spoke about that before the game. We knew we had to adapt.

    "They pitch was difficult to pass the ball on; it was as bobbly as you could get and everything that didn't really suit us. It was a challenge to play good football.

    "I was really pleased with the boys and how we stuck at it and we could have nicked one at the end.

    "It's an important point and there are a lot of positives to take from that even though it wasn't a classic on the eye. We knew we would have to defend and we were ready for it."
