    It's Over

    "I'm gutted at what I've seen, but I'm also so glad this season is finished because it's been one of the most unenjoyable campaigns that I've experienced in a long, long time and one of the most unlikable teams I have had the displeasure of watching."

    Middlesbrough end in 10th - their lowest finish since 2021

    Middlesbrough head coach Michael Carrick says he is "gutted" after seeing his team fail to make the play-offs.

    Needing a win to have any chance of reaching the top six, Boro lost 2-0 at Coventry City, as the Sky Blues finished fifth.

    "It's a sickening feeling. I'm gutted for the boys," he told BBC Radio Tees.

    "They gave everything, put in a really good performance for the most part and didn't get what we wanted from the game.

    "We didn't manage to take our opportunities so in the end, we're feeling like we are.

    "The fact we haven't got in the play-offs is hurtful enough. We've created our own expectations which is the positive. The boys have shown what they can do and we feel the disappointment we haven't got that."

    The result caps a poor end to the season in which Carrick's side won only one of their last six games and ended 10th.

    He added: "Seventh, eighth, ninth, 10th, there is not really much difference to be honest."
