    Reds looking for their best at Gillette

    Toronto FC eager to shake poor road history against Revs

    TORONTO -- With just two road wins in 20 road games, there aren't many friendly venues for Toronto FC across Major League Soccer, but Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. has been a particular house of horrors for the Reds. In two games against the New England Revolution last season, TFC delivered two of their poorest performances en route to 4-0 and 3-0 losses. With Saturday's match in New England looming as an important battle for positioning in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt, Toronto captain Jim Brennan knows his team can't afford another letdown against the Revs.
    "Last year they thumped us, but this year will be a lot different," Brennan said. "They're a very good side. They're a club that's always there at the end and always up at the top of the table. It's a tough place to go and get a result, but we'll get things right this week, work hard and go in there and look to get something.
    TFC's road woes have continued into 2008. The Reds notched a win against Western Conference-leading Los Angeles last April 13, but have lost their other four games away from BMO Field. Their last road defeat, a 3-1 loss to Houston on June 8, left coach John Carver so frustrated that he and his staff reviewed the team's road itinerary in order to find anything that could be changed to help the Reds be better prepared away from home.

    Reds prepare for Revs

    Toronto look towards New England

    Toronto FC began preparing for Saturday's game at New England Revolution with a training session at BMO Field on Monday morning. Coach John Carver has changed the team's schedule in the build up to the game as he looks to improve the Reds away form. "Since the loss at Houston, we've looked at every aspect of how we prepare for away games, and we're going to do things a bit differently this time," explained Carver. "The day before the game, we would usually train here before we go to the airport, but this week we won't do that. We will fly to New England and then train when we get there at about 6:00 p.m. It's closer to the time we will be playing the game and it makes the travel day shorter for the players. We'll see if that affects people's mental and physical attitude. I'm looking forward to going to New England and trying to get something on the road."
    Toronto head to New England after a 0-0 draw at home to Kansas City Wizards on Saturday. "It was quite a disappointing result," said Carver. "Obviously we wanted to take all three points but the pleasing thing is that it's another game undefeated. I know everyone expects us to win games like that at home."
    Carver praised the Wizards for their approach to the game. "I spoke to their guys after the game and they said they were so pumped up to play here.
