Boro thread

[Woodman Boy]

Boro have to win at some point surely?

Yes, April will be just fine.

When there in league one preferably

Why should Boro be higher? They've been awful.

Their XG is thru the roof compared to their position, nearly always works out close enough eventually

And what about their defensive xG?

Lower than their scoring. 8th in the xg league table, they won’t be bottom for long. Not saying they will be 8th either like but theyre better than bottom.

We'll see. When a team gets in a rut, it's often difficult to get out of it when the negativity sets in and confidence runs low.

For scoring goals that is

Positions override the XG. Goals will games not expected goals

Our XG against Blackpool must have been 345 and we lost 2-0 sure we had 28 shots.

You've also got to think that Boro have had some favourable fixtures against teams they'd have expected to beat. They've got a tough run coming up.

What’s that got to do with out? XG doesn’t predict individual games, it’s a display of the season. If Boro keep playing how they are and creating chances they will rise up the table, simple as that. How can some people not understand XG?

I understand XG, they are creating the chances fair enough but they have no one to finish them.

Unless their new strikers get their arses into gear quick

They will eventually tho. Much like when a team starts well and is scoring screamers, they sharp drop down the league. It’s a matter of time till preston drop like a stone.

Just have to wait and see mate, boro don’t look like they have anyone to finish the chances. At the moment.
