Middlesbrough striker Tommy Conway says the 3-1 win at Stoke City on Tuesday night "means everything" to the team after ending a run of five straight defeats.
Boro eased the pressure around Michael Carrick with victory in the Potteries that moved them back within four points of the play-off spots.
"Everyone knows the run we've been on hasn't been a good one over the past couple of weeks and we've been trying to put it right but for some reason it hasn't been falling for us," Conway told BBC Radio Tees.
