Rambo, Rocky, Terminator films on the coach up to Blackpool ?

Recommended Posts

Research from the University of Northumbria shows that footballers'' testosterone levels are higher if they''re playing at home than away, giving them a competitive advantage.[quote]"We know testosterone is linked to dominance and aggression in

animals," says Neave. "We''re trying to tie the results in with

territoriality. The idea is that if you''re playing at home, you feel

you''re defending your own territory. The testosterone surges in the

goalkeepers was unbelievable and obviously they''re the ones who are

most involved in defence."[/quote]The question is, if you know this, what can you do to combat it ?  Do you try to psyche your own players up on the bus to the game ?  Do you use the oppositions'' territorial mind-set against them, try to get them booked ?  Or do you encourage a siege mentality in your own players in the style of Alex Ferguson ?Home advantage has certainly helped Blackpool so far this season - unbeaten at home with a threadbare squad.  Is it time to dig out the Stallone and Arnie films Glenn ?
