Where's the evidence we'll suddenly struggle at home?

Post by Spijed » Sat Mar 18, 2017 5:02 pm

It happens every time we don't win away and people panic, yet we've always bounced back every home game.

A draw away isn't bad any day, but our lack of a win has everyone running around headless.

People predict it almost like they want it to happen.

We have momentum, we are unbeaten in one game!

No they don't. They predict it but want to be wrong.

But why do they predict it, Frank?

No evidence for it whatsoever.

I admit to thinking more overall than at home. I guess our run of away games and not winning since Leicester in January has perhaps put us into a false sense of negativity.

So I think the theory that we'll struggle at home is in part, the score vs Lincoln and the fact that we've played so many games away, which might have a negative impact on us full stop.

I don't see us repeating the home form next season not to say we'll be bad but its unlikely imo.

there can't be evidence, but on this topic, its slightly worrying that we have to face some pretty stiff opposition at home.
The inability to break down sunderland and knowing we have to face the likes of spurs at home is a concern. Not winning away has been countered by great home form. I look at the likelihood of spurs winning here and with us in 13th, the danger is still present. Most fans didnt expect the points tally at the Turf, thank god we achieved it ! If we faulter at home now, and the **** away form continues then it could become difficult for us with quite a few games left. If we lose a player through suspension or injury, the home form and shape of the team would disappear immediately. Thin ice !!!

It's equally unlikely that we'll repeat our away form :roll:

I don't see how we are going to start winning away, it doesn't look likely at all which is why im concerned because I think its unlikely we'll have the 3rd best home record in the league again.

I don't think Dyche will be here next year. I think he'll be picked off. Maybe the new man will start some flair players away. But as things stand, I agree.

we are also traditionally crap coming back after an international break.
