why so bad at home?

Are Norwich going to be an away team this year?  So far in the 3 away games, we have created many chances in each game.  Coventry we created enough chances to win 5 matches.  Cardiff was slightly different where we didn''t play quite so well, but still had chances and managed to score goals.  Plymouth, we had all the play, all the chances and scored a couple.

At home in the 1st 3 games.  Blackpool, we were terrible and created 2 chances in 1st half and 1 in 2nd.  Brum, we played great keep ball football and had so much possession but couldn''t create anything and in the end our goal was very scrappy.  QPR, played poorly, had 1 real chance in 1st half which was blocked (had a few long range and feeble efforts as well), and then in 2nd we Fozzy had a good freekick saved and then couldn''t create anything again even though we were camped in their half for most of it.

Is there a reason behind this?  Maybe the players are feeling too much pressure at home and worried the fans may get on their back (which we sometimes have a tendency to do), when away from home, they usually sing and support them all through the games.

Wouldn''t it be such a perfect world if things like that were so simple.

No-one has a right to win anything, they have to earn that right and we simply didn''t last night.

[quote user="C T has left the building "]They''re PROFESSIONAL BLOODY FOOTBALLERS!

Surely the exact same can be said for them?  What should we do, should every game be a draw? Or take it in turns to win? [;)]

have to say, there was little excitement at carra last night, no atmosphere - a limp crowd, with little cheer - maybe the credit crunch is worrying the punters, and the usual rendition of cr@ppy songs, droned out with little conviction...looking down on the barclay end nearest the away support - there was little effort on display to raise the noise level - aside from the ''y army'' chant, that seemed to peter out quicker than usual thank god (am i alone in thinking this chant is worn out and lifeless - like an old pro at the end of her shift)...where''s the invention, the spirit in our support??? where was the new sibs song??? dead in the throat,,, for me there''s not enough noise at carra these days, just naaarfolk reserve...and when the chips are down, thats not enough...mind you - it seemed that over-zealous stewarding was keeping the boys sitting down for most of the game - aside from the usual few back rows - maybe this is stifffling the atmosphere in the ground - but clearly there wasn''t enough noise in the ground, precious little singing...worse for me, i was in amongst the dead necks in the jarrold - there was little passion on offer - most of the punters stared gormlessly ahead - with their mute buttons engaged...god, yawn - how fudging boring...roll on saturday, another day, another dollar/,.
