Middlesbrough focused on own form - Travers

Mark Travers has four international caps for the Republic of Ireland

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.
