Title: Away form
Post by: scawsby steve on January 06, 2024, 03:35:55 pm
W2 D2 L9.

This is in the FOURTH tier of the EFL.

How does a city club with a great stadium, great training facilities, and millionaire owners become so f*cking crap on the football field?

It is poor, no question, but I will add that before today in our first 12 away matches we had played away to ALL of the top nine in this morning's table

I have a feeling we will be gaining more away points and losing quite a few home points before the season is out.

Why should sway performances be any different from home ? If your set up to win at home then why change anything other than you have to challenge a bit more to win the ball , but keeping possession is where you win and dictate the game by stopping the home team getting their own way and quiet the home crowd!!

My comment is based purely on the expected level of opposition in the remaining home and away matches, and not on our approach to them.

It's not just our away form that's shit; we've won 2 out of our last 10 league games home and away.

Even for us, I just cannot believe we’ve gone and lost that.

Harrogate were shocking. What the hell is going on!
