Aitor Karanka has vowed to address the mistakes he made after seeing Middlesbrough's seven-game unbeaten Sky Bet Championship run come to an end.

The Spanish manager blamed himself in part for Tuesday night's 2-0 defeat at Wolves, admitting he did not pick the right team.

Karanka, who vowed to get it right for Watford's visit to the Riverside Stadium on Saturday, told the Northern Echo: "The person who made the first mistake was me. I didn't choose the right players to play.

"I am the first person who made a mistake and after that, we didn't play the way we are used to playing, we didn't play with the intensity we have been. We did not have that intensity which we normally see from my players.

"I know what mistakes I made, but I am not going to say. I need to learn every single game and we have another on Saturday.

"I always take conclusions from games. I have to make sure I get the right players on Saturday."
