Middlesbrough: Riley McGree praises 'calmness' under new boss Michael Carrick

World Cup-bound midfielder Riley McGree has praised the new sense of "calmness" at Middlesbrough under Michael Carrick.

Those results have seen Boro jump from 21st to 14th in the Championship.

"There's a great calmness in the group and it's something to build on," said McGree, who is part of the Australia squad in Qatar.

He told BBC Tees: "We've shown what we're about and what we're capable of and hopefully we can be consistent enough with that and climb our way up the table throughout the rest of the season."

Victory at Carrow Road was a third successive away win and means Boro go into the World Cup break four points off the play-offs, but still only four points clear of the bottom three.
