HOWSON KEEPS HIS HOPES UP

JONNY HOWSON insists there is no chance of Middlesbrough giving up on their play-off hopes.

- 

Michael Carrick's side missed out on the chance to move into the top six after this stalemate.

And that point leaves them two adrift of Coventry in sixth going into a final away-day showdown with Frank Lampard's side.

Boro need a win to keep the dream alive and hope other results go their way.
