Re: Home v Away performances
John McCarthyburton870Could be the deciding factor on how we eventually do this season. I felt last season no team really got near us when playing at home, but there were a lot of away performances that were unconvincing, even if we did get most of them over the line.
Feel this season has started in a similar trend. Feel the squad and the tactics are well suited when playing at home, but we struggle to get a major foothold in away games. I think if we can tweak the tactics to find the magic formula on our travels then we really could be up there this season.
Don't get the struggling to gain a major foothold comment.
It's early days. We lost 2 close scoreline games, without conceding a huge number of chances in either. Maybe ineffective on the day, in capitalising on our own forward play, but that was the difference, not lack of a foothold.
I agree it's only 2 games so only speculation at this point, certainly not conclusive what I've said. Obviously I hope my point is irrelevant and we have some cracking away performances in the next few games but something to keep an eye these first couple of months.
