I'd say it improved their odds a lot more than very slightly. You had 8 of the governors crew killed off and they weren't kids, elderly or of the non-combatant variety. They were the more militant members of Woodbury. Rick's crew is battle hardened and they are defending a fortress. Yes they lost Merle, but I'd take that trade off everytime.
Who is gonna fill their shoes? The people in Woodbury are scared and a lot of them don't seem to a) have the knowledge of combat or b) desire to partake in combat.
