Middlesbrough boss Tony Mowbray says Chelsea's opening goal in Wednesday's 2-0 FA Cup loss was the crucial blow to his side's hopes of staying in the tie.
.
Ramires' strike took a deflection off Fernando Torres to beat Jason Steele, before Victor Moses settled the match with Chelsea's second.
.
"We worked extremely hard, the team shape was good but we were undone by their first," Mowbray said..
.
They have won just three games in 2013 - against Leeds in the league, and Aldershot and Hastings in the FA Cup Boro have conceded 19 goals and scored seven since the start of January.
.
"You could feel their quality but we stood up to it well."
.
Mowbray added: "It's good for our players to play against that quality, and we didn't just sit back and defend but they're hard to break down."
.
The visit of the Premier League side is followed by that of Cardiff City, who are on course to join the Blues in the top tier next season.
.
Boro are on a run of just one win in nine league games after Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by Millwall, having picked up only four points from a possible 27 in 2013.
.
"We are doing a lot of things right but we just need a break, we have to keep working," Mowbray added,
.
"Let's hope against Cardiff that break comes and we get the points."
