In some ways yes, but the biggest advantage of being at home, that's gonna be missing. Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 The absence of a crowd might even help to take the pressure off in certain games, who knows. Our home crowd can get antsy pretty quick... it doesn't take a huge amount for the moans and groans to start. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

RealSlimSladeyy 766 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Barnsley, Luton, Charlton, Hull. That's why I think we'll stay up. I'll predict it now. However, the last time I predicted a positive outcome for boro was sheff wed at home in august 2014. We were 3-0 down after 60 mins... Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,440 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I had a glance at the other teams fixtures and they are just as if not more difficult than ours. I dont attach much weight anymore.to who plays who as so many freak results but those saying we are doomed due to our remaining fixtures might gain comfort in looking at our rivals fixtures. However, for me its simple. We need 9 or 10pts so we simply need to take care of our own business. I am quietly confident we can now we got a full squad. Utb 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We've got a global pandemic, a looming recession, a clown as the leader of our country, a racist madman in charge of the most powerful country in the world but still the worst thing for me is having Woodgate in charge of the Boro. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Erimus74 2,977 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 My worry is our goalscoring, if teams get in front we'll then struggle & with the new rules of 5 subs per game teams will just kill games We are as bad as the other 5, 6 teams at the wrong end with not much breathing space between us all, whoever starts late in the mini bottom league will go down Defensively we're fine, IMHO, Link to post Share on other sites
White Band 831 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Are we ready for a relegation battle? No. Are we more ready for a relegation battle than the teams around us (which is perhaps the more important question)? Time will tell. I have my concerns, though. Charlton in particular came out of pre-season much more strongly than we did, and we are kind of restarting the season again after another preseason. I'm not confident that Woodgate has the managerial experience to get us to be where we need to be in terms of preparation and match sharpness by the end of this mid-season preseason.
