Brendo 0 Posted December 12, 2009 Well at home, we have been in control in nearly every game, and winning quite comfortably. So how can we go from an easy win at home last week, to such an end-to-end game with such an average league 1 side? Not just today, a few other away games we''ve looked a bit edgey. So whats the difference? Surely it cant just be crowd? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]I think you have identified part of the reason.I wouldn''t say its complacency but I think some of the lads push only as hard as they need to in games. Against Brighton we were two nil up and started to relax a little bit too much. They came back and scored and then they woke up and put the game to bed when they really should have done before half time.I think its harder playing away from home in the league because so many of the teams have titchey stadiums and only a handful of fans. They play better at home because they normally have at least 23k fans chanting and getting behind them. Some player you talk to will say that its not just your own fans that get you going its the opposition fans too, especially if there are a lot of them when playing away from home. Places like Yeovil are hard to go to because the intensity off the pitch is not there in the same way it is at Carrow Road.I also think a couple of our players could do with a rest, they have played quite a few games on the trot, sometimes one game out is enough to rejuvinate them. Perhaps that is what one or two need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salopian 1 Posted December 14, 2009 At home the opponents have a certain fear about fortress CR, and they come defensively, whereas away they are all out to topple one of the leading sides - it''s a challenge, and like Yeovil, they are often quick out of the blocks.We used to be be poor away, and even this season our away record is not brilliant, but you sense a never-give-up strength about them, with some late goals. You fancy them for at least a draw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
