Milner: "The pleasing thing was we were solid at the back. Clean sheets are important to us and if we can keep solid at the back with the attacking players we have going forward there aren't too many games where we won't score.

"It is a half-decent point. They came here to defend and we tried to win the game, but things did not go for us on the day going forward. We had the odd chance but the final ball was poor and it was just one of those days.

"The conditions were tough as the pitch wasn't the best out there.

"The lads needed an extra touch because of that, but it just didn't go for us. You are going to get that in football, but if you get a clean sheet like we did then you haven't gone wrong too much.

"There aren't many games where we go without scoring, but it wouldn't go in for us against Boro."
