Our Away Form

[Duncan Mckenzie]

Straight to the point and put very simply our away form is not good enough.

Just one win on the road since we won at Boro FIVE months ago and that came at Hull back in November.

It is poor and it is another reason why we have barely spent any time in the top six this season.

[Jasper Scarrott]

We have had some credible draws during that time at Leeds, Norwich, West Brom etc but you are right Duncan, when it comes to actual victories on the road we are struggling and have been for months now.

It is definitely something that needs looking at and needs improving on.

I hadn't realised that. Just one away win since we won at Boro five months ago?  :@

Interesting thread that makes for grim reading. I also hadn't realised that our away form is so poor.

I also noticed that Sea Pitch liftted the thread to write an article, not the first time I have noticed that!

If you look at a league table based on home and away points separately.

We are 6th with points attained at home
We are 10th with points attained away from home.

Have 2 of the bottom 3 to play away from home still. We have to make that count.

But as the season concludes those games, to teams fighting for their lives, become progressively more difficult.

Yes they do, although I think Ipswich are as good as gone, playing with zero confidence.

I would rather have Rotherham and Ipswich away than Norwich and Leeds away

[Paplane]

Yep, that's for sure.

Club's never gonna win enough games home or away whilst it continues lumbering managers with pathetically poor freebie/cheapo/make-do attacking options. Carva's clearly not cut out for MON currently, and the Jan window saw signings which were all chancers & make-do's.

It's not that they're bad players per say, is that they're overall status & being make them ill suited for a genuine promotion push at this moment (e.g. Botty may be a fair player, but on arrival he was some way off being fit enough to play a serious part in a promotion push).

Club needs to get a grip and start backing managers properly, or be prepared to linger around the Champ for a long time.

Our recruitment has been horrible.

We have spent enough money, but generally on the wrong players.

Considering we've spent £30m+ in the last 3 or 4 windows, it's shocking that our starting line up for Stoke was assembled for less than £5m, with the biggest buys being Murphy, Lolley & Darikwa at about £900k each.

No one will ever have a 100% recruitment record, but ours has been awful. AK's summer spend was of Platt proportions.

Ouch.  He said the 'P' word...

SA.

Coincidentally your namesake had an equally dire away record (albeit better home results) and suffered from an equally poorly executed transfer policy.

Seems some things dont change much.

I think you are being very harsh with that comment.

Both Benalouane and Milosevic look like very good additions to our squad.
