    Edwards: 'My full focus is on Middlesbrough'

    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.

    "We have had a good couple of days since then. We had a good recovery day yesterday and a productive meeting to see where we can improve.

    "There has been a good reaction mentality wise and that is what there needs to be.

    "The lads are a really honest group and they are going to make mistakes at times, but what we have just done is gain clarity over certain situations."

    Middlesbrough return to action with a trip to Leicester on Tuesday (19:45 GMT).

    "They have got really good players, especially for this level and I think they've been unlucky at times," Edwards added.

    "They can dominate a game and make you sit back, so we are going to have to be really disciplined."

    Edwards: Watford defeat 'really disappointing' for Boro

    Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards said his promotion-chasing side learnt a harsh lesson in their 3-0 loss at Watford.

    Edwards felt his Boro players were caught on the counter-attack by Watford on his return to his former club.

    "It's a really disappointing result," he told BBC Radio Tees.

    "I was actually really excited about this game and I thought we started well. It was about managing those moments and the biggest part of our message to the boys, as soon as we lose it, make sure we manage their counter-attacks and stop them switching it because they have pace in the wide areas, and we didn't do that.

    "There was not loads and loads wrong, and we got into areas loads of times, but didn't make it count. At both ends of the pitch, we were second best. We'll all learn from this."
