Olé Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 We're at the halfway point of the season and our away form is among the best in the league, though in theory away games should be the harder asks from here on in. So I was wondering whether we've done the hardest bit on the road, or if there is worse to come. It got me thinking about the balance in away fixtures done vs left. We've already been to Wolves which is a plus, but the average position of the 12 teams we have played away is 14.1 versus 11.5 for the 11 teams we're still to go to. - Been to: 1,7,10,11,12,14,15,16,18,19,22,24 - To go to: 2,3,5,6,8,9,13,17,20,21,23 Although bear in mind that our own results at those teams that we've visited will have a part in their poorer league positions. So what are the toughest trips still to come? - Cardiff, Derby, Villa, Leeds, Middlesbrough I'd also include Milwall simply because of the edge - it's a tough place to go. We owe Preston a result after last season and the home loss last month. Forest are beatable. One quirk I've noticed is our away fixture list this season has allowed us to complete whole regions already by the halfway point, while leaving other regions unvisited: - Done: Both Sheffield Clubs, Both East Anglia Clubs, All 3 West London Clubs, 2/3 North East Clubs, 2/3 Birmingham Clubs - To visit: Both Lancashire Clubs, Both East Midlands Clubs (+Burton), 2 more Yorkshire Clubs.

Iron Acton Red Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Derby could be a tricky one,their home form is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Noticed that also but presumably means our home games are easier from here on in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hardest games we’ve had at home are teams who’ve parked the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unan Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 This wasn’t the position they were in when we played them though. Form plays a big part too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One BCFC Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 I actually think playing the top teams away plays into our hands as they wont bus park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
