Head coach Michael O'Neill says he wants to build up Blackburn Rovers' positivity after taking points off another Championship promotion contender.
Seven days after winning at Millwall, Blackburn dug deep to share a goalless draw with Middlesbrough.
It moved them another point towards safety with Rovers having collected 11 points from O'Neill's eight games in charge.
There is work to do but the Northern Ireland boss is happy with how his club team's resilience is developing.
"It's hugely important for us not to concentrate on the league table," O'Neill told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"Where we are at the minute is how do we continue to build on that positivity and get momentum.
"That gives us four points from two very difficult games with teams in the top four and once we come back from the international break, hopefully the players will be refreshed and a little bit stronger in terms of our options, and we've got Birmingham away and West Brom at home, two huge games.
"All we can do is ask the players to fight and give what they gave and I thought they were magnificent and the fans saw that today in the performance."
