I think a loss today and Keefy would be under considerable pressure. Happily, I think we'll revert to the Middlesbrough form and Mr Reev's update won't be needed!
I think he's under pressure already from unrealistic, shortsighted fans, but that seems like proffesional football across the board.
See what you saying, does seem early to say, but yeah a massive game today. Get the right reaction and a win and everybody will be feeling a bit more hopeful Don't want to think about the other...........
Its a crucial game today. A win and it gives us breathing space for the international break where hopefully our injury situation will improve. A defeat will almost certainly lead to a loss of confidence amongst the players and fans alike with 2 tough games looming after international break. I wish I could feel optimistic but with our defence Im fearing the worst.
I wouldn't call it pivotal If we lose we're not doomed, if we win we're not safe. It's just another early season game. The pivotal games, if there are any, will occur in April.
Re: I wouldn't call it pivotal The Problem is unless we stop shipping goals in at an alarming rate April will be irrelevant as the damage will have been done
Re: I wouldn't call it pivotal It is a pivotal game of sorts, another defeat going into the international break will make this game a potential season breaker. A win will make all the difference to confidence and team spirit over the next fortnight. It'll probably be a draw and the see-saw will be stuck in the middle.
