Williams was furious after his side slumped to a 2-0 defeat that leaves the Swans just five points above the Sky Bet Championship relegation zone.

But Carrick바카라�s Boro are now unbeaten in their last seven matches and are just six points off the play-off places ahead of Wednesday바카라�s crucial trip to Hull.

Emmanuel Latte Lath came up with two moments of quality to secure Boro바카라�s second home win in a week, with the Ivorian striking either side of half-time to take his tally for the season to 10 in the league and 12 in all competitions.

Latte Lath opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time then wrapped up the points 11 minutes from time with a clinical right-footed finish.

Carrick said: 바카라�I바카라�m delighted to be honest. It바카라�s the type of game that can pass you by if you don바카라�t do the right things.

바카라�I thought the boys were disciplined and effective and efficient in the work we wanted to do.

바카라�We knew they바카라�re good in taking the ball in possession. We were patient and disciplined, defended the box well and defended in our half well.바카라�

Latte Lath now has five goals in nine games since returning from injury.

Carrick said: 바카라�Manu is coming into form. He바카라�s had a big impact, he바카라�s had a good return and hopefully there바카라�s a few more in him.

바카라�Hopefully his form carries on. When you바카라�re on that run you want to keep surfing it. He바카라�s definitely doing that. We have two or three challenging games coming up, we바카라�ll need that impact player around the box.바카라�

Boro바카라�s rivals for the play-off places 바카라� Norwich, Hull and Coventry 바카라� all won on Saturday but Carrick said his players just need to concentrate on themselves as they look to force their way into the top six.

He said: 바카라�We바카라�re coming from behind. We바카라�ve put a bit of a run together, we just have to try and extend that as long as we can.

바카라�Wednesday is a new challenge and will have a bit of a say on what the picture looks like after that. We just have to keep chipping away and see how we end up.바카라�

Swansea mustered only one shot on target at the Riverside and have now won just one of their last six games.

Williams, who took over in January after leaving Notts County, said his players need to prove they should be part of his long-term plans at the club.

He fumed: 바카라�It was just an atrocious game of football, an absolutely diabolical example of the Championship.

바카라�It would have been nicer if we바카라�d won, at least we could have then pretended to be happy about something, but goodness me.

바카라�There was nothing right about that. It was like going to a charity game in the summer, no atmosphere, a bit of talking in the crowd.

바카라�The first goal was a comedy, the second one isn바카라�t loads better. It바카라�s hard to find anything good about today, especially when you don바카라�t get any points.바카라�
