In the same league as Arsenal, Man City and Scunthorpe

[southstand 0]

Just been looking through the tables for the top two divisions and I see that Arsenal, Man City, Norwich and Scunthorpe are the only side with a better away record then their home record.

With games coming up , in January against Cardiff and QPR I would have normally thought that we would have advantage – playing at home – but do we

In the game I have seen at Carrow Road this season no team has come and parked a bus, they have attacked and scored goal against – albeit on the break.

We have missed too many chances at home – at we scoring more from the chances we create away from home

If you take out the two occasions when we have scored 4 at home ( Leicester and Ipswich) we have score 11 goals in 9 games and lost a hell of a lot of points. Lots of attacking, lots og missed chances, plenty of corners ( never seen us score from many)

The home form is where we need to improve – obvious – but it’s not happening . We are always playing catch up like losing to Prtsmuth and recovering with a great win at Coventry

Of course I will get the usual – have you looked at the table, stop moaning, it’s not broken

Tes we are doing better than I expected but Pl need to adrees the home issues – can’t keep doing a Worthington and saying we played well in front of 26000 great fans and lost

It''s not just the fact that we''re doing better away than at home. Bar 1

or 2 sides, we''re playing the best performing sides in the League away,

and the poorest at home (2nd half of the season, this will of course

reverse).- Beat Coventry away. 5th In the table, hadn''t conceded for 4 games.- Beat Derby away. Won their last 6 home games, 4th in the table.- Drew to QPR away. A penalty away from winning against a side that hadn''t conceded a goal at home.- Drew to Nottingham Forest away. Hadn''t lost at home since the days of yore, and we hit the post twice, totally dominating the game.- Draw to Reading away. A win was totally deserved here, simply, had the laws of the game been carried out justly.

- Lost to Hull at home. Hadn''t won away in 28 (?) games or so.- Lost to Crystal Palace at home. Hadn''t won, neither scored away from home (i think).-Drew  to Burnley at home. One of the only decent performing sides we

faced at home, and we played on turf they''re most uncomfortable with (i.e. not Turf Moor). Hadn''t

won away all season, and they were within a few minutes of ending that run here.We''re 5th in the table, and no one is more aware than me of that fact. This season has been an unprecedented success for most people involved with the club, and no problem we are currently suffering from is terminal, least of all this one. But concerning what we''re seeing on the pitch, it is no doubt an issue, along with our surprising lack of clean sheets, that we should look to overcome as soon as possible, not least considering the standard of opposition we''re going to encounter this second half of the season on home soil.Anyone damning you, southstand, for prompting this debate, would be ill advised, and rather silly to do so.
