Middlesbrough head coach Michael Carrick has said he has moved on from his side鈥檚 6-2 thrashing of Oxford United on Saturday.
The impressive victory meant Boro have now scored 15 goals in their last three games - the first time they have done so since November 1947 - but Carrick has emphasised the importance of his in-form squad looking forwards.
"There was a lot to be happy about, that鈥檚 pretty obvious," he told 成人快手 Radio Tees. "I have to say we鈥檝e moved on though in terms of [being] ready for the next game.
"I'm delighted the way the boys have come in and got their heads on the next game already."
Boro welcome Blackburn Rovers to the Riverside on Wednesday night after their fixture against Portsmouth at Ewood Park on Saturday fell victim to the weather.
The postponement means John Eustace's side have not been in action since before the international break but Carrick does not they believe this will give them an advantage in midweek.
"Between Saturday and Wednesday there's more than enough time to recover for a game anyway- whether we played or didn't play, I don't think it would have made a major impact," Carrick added.
"It is what it is, we know where we're at, the boys have recovered well and that's all we can ask for."
