A 2-0 defeat away at Coventry City saw Michael Carrick's Middlesbrough side miss out on the Championship play-offs this season.
00:07
The head coach reacted to the disappointment.
00:10
Listen, it's an awful feeling. There's no getting away from it.
00:12
The disappointment in the group is huge.
00:16
I think you could see that on the boys at the end of the game.
00:20
How deflated, how disappointed and how hurt by the case so much and they're desperate to do well.
00:26
I couldn't ask any more for them today.
00:27
I thought we played really well and on top of that, the circumstances, it makes an even better performance.
00:34
But we obviously didn't get what we wanted from the game.
00:38
Just as we were going in a really good spell first half and taking control and looking really good,
00:43
conceding before half-time, giving them something to hold on to.
00:47
I thought we came on second half really positive, really bright, really very good in so many ways.
00:53
And then we had opportunities, fell by the wayside, hitting the woodwork.
00:57
Keepers making saves and then we had to go for it at the end and then you expect a bit of breakaway here and there.
01:04
And probably the second goal is a goal-length clearance.
01:07
We have a chance.
01:08
Game's on a knife edge at that point and then they go and score the second goal.
01:12
And Sunderland learned that their play-off opponents will be Coventry City,
01:16
with the first game being on Friday evening.
01:19
Head coach Regis Labrisse reacted to the news following their 1-0 loss to Queen's Park Rangers.
01:25
Yeah, now this chapter is over.
01:28
And obviously the result was not the result expected today and this period was a little bit weird with this fourth place secured early
01:42
and the necessity to refresh the squad, to give minutes for players who didn't have the chance before to play many games.
01:54
So now this period is closed and we know exactly the opponent and the fixture will have.
02:04
So we don't have to overthink, don't have to analyze too much this period because it's done.
02:13
So we don't have to overthink, don't have to overthink.
