STRACHAN WOULD TAKE VICTORY BY ANY MEANS
ComeOnBoro.com, 28 Nov 2009
Gordon Strachan has admitted that he will accept victory any way it comes when Middlesbrough face bottom-of-the-table Peterborough at London Road on Saturday.
He has also admitted that it is the goalscorers who will be vital in the promotion race.
Strachan has yet to win a game in charge of the Boro and has only picked up one point out of the nine that have been available during his reign so far.

This has seen Boro slip to 11th place, 11 points off the top of the table and Strachan knows that if we are to catch up, then we need to get the ball rolling soon.
He said, reported by the Press Association: "If you can get on a run - it might start with a lucky one, it might start with a great one, you never know - but we are all looking in this division.
"It's a hard, hard division. There's nothing tricky about it, there's nothing cosmic about the football. It's pretty straightforward, the football here, and it's good.
"But it's the ones who have the goalscorers who will be promoted, that's for sure."
Strachan is not disheartened with the start he has made as Boro boss.
He said: "I have been in positions like this before and it's not nice, but you have to deal with it.
"You always know that if you keep working hard, the world will become a better place.
"The game is simple: the more times you put the ball in the back of the net, the world is a better place, that's for sure."
