Boro head for Birmingham on Wednesday evening knowing victory will restore them to first place and go some of the way towards salving their disappointment after Sunday's fifth-round defeat at Barclays Premier League Arsenal.

Reach told the club's official website: "It's back to the Championship now. We spoke about it in the dressing room straight after the Arsenal game.

"Although it's always disappointing to lose, I think it shows how far we've come, being disappointed after losing 2-0 to Arsenal.

"But Wednesday is the most important thing now. We have to go to Birmingham, put in a good performance and bring home three points. If we win, we should go back to the top of the league and that's the main thing.

"We're 100 per cent concentrated on the Birmingham game. We need to prepare well and if we concentrate for the 90 minutes, then our quality should come through."
