cityexile Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 15 points from 8 away, now 14 off the last 6. That is seriously good. 12 points from 7 home. Not to shabby either, but no real home advantage coming through. Watching the highlights tonight, we looked at times quite stunning on the break. Are we currently better set up for away than home, or to small a sample still? Hopefully Duric gives us another option at home against the Burtons of this world, but we are not far off are we!

nickolas Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Definitely. We’ll be ok at home versus teams that want to win. However for teams that do a ‘Burton’, i feel Djuric may be our plan B to overcome those tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hopefully we'll set up for home games as necessary and away games as necessary. No need to set up the same way for every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson did say that over the Summer they did focus on how to improve our away form - seems to have worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Zeppelin Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 So before the extra away game tonight, identical points record (12 from 7) both home and away? Just shy of 2 points per game, consistently home and away, sounds like promotion form to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bound to happen again but somehow everything this season seems to be generally falling our way. 19 games, 2 defeats all season? Not many teams in the entire country currently have such a run as that. Keep this up until x-mas and i think Sir Steve may release more funds to top up the squad with the extra quality we need to see us to playoffs!

cidered abroad Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Not a negative statement but it's always been known that sides that win away regularly, more often than not, do so because they have pace to hit attacking home sides on the break. Whereas such teams often do not have player(s) who can unlock a massed defence and thus find it more difficult to win games at home. It highlights the need for a creative midfielder who is able to not only go past opponents but also able to put defence splitting passes through the eye of a needle. Or a plan B tactics for home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Saw the live scores site. Interesting stat...we have the 2nd best away record (will maybe fall a couple or places by end of weekend as we have played 1 more than others). Same applies in reverse to our home form. As in one game less than a number of sides. No looking... Our hone record so far is ranked...X in the League? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
