lake district canary 4,531 Posted June 20, 2020 Very clear that out of 21 league games since Wednesday, only 3 home wins suggests that playing at home loses it's advantage without fans there. Doesn't help mitigate our performance yesterday, but does at least prove that maybe fans do affect outcomes of games. Strange times and maybe we should not vent too much anger at the club when fans are not there to help them over the line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balham_Canary 1 Posted June 20, 2020 Imagine if Carrow Road was full of supporters after that performance on Friday night. Imagine the boos and feeling of frustration. You’d hear the criticism and sense the disappointment The players and staff won’t have felt any of that and it concerns me. Yes, they will be disappointed as they are professionals. But they won’t have felt the passion from the fans. Clearly there will be no mechanism for the club to hear the fans views on the performance like there would be with packed stadiums. I wonder if the home advantage was ever about familiarity, lack of travel time... or maybe it was only ever an aversion to getting berated by your own fans?

Indy 3,297 Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Well considering we’ve only won 4 home games from 15 I’d say the crowd really doesn’t help that much this season? Edited June 20, 2020 by Indy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I definitely agree it’s obviously not helping the home teams only one won in championship, the away teams seemed to be taking advantage of this Bournemouth were very much like us lost without the home support just hope the next game they will be a bit more used to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,657 Posted June 21, 2020 Yeah I think home and away is going to be fairly irrelevant Lakey. However, it just so happens our more winnable fixtures are at home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me it was like a first game of the season - you always get unusual results - and that it will be better from here on in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We've generally performed better against teams near the top of the league. Playing teams like Southampton and Burnley has been where we've struggled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, but actually its more helpful in our position to take the points from those around us. I mean in reality let's be honest its almost a moot point at this stage..
