How on earth can you be Top of the Home form League, and bottom of away form league? Surely there can't be that much difference with the same side?

Seems some questions do not have answers but a question that is constantly asked in other threads😉

It's the difference in how teams approach playing us at home vs away.

Away from home teams know we are fragile under the press + positive atmosphere. They start quickly and get into our faces and, whilst Millwall didn't yesterday, often score an early goal or 2 which puts us under the cosh right from the off.

Whilst at home, with our positive atmosphere, teams usually sit off more. We tend to get a grip on the ball and "get into our rhythm" a lot quicker which lets us have more time to dictate play.

We are far, far better on the ball than off the ball. We don't have a very effective counter-attack (we just kick it long and lose it as none of our strikers can hold it up well) so if you can stop us playing through the press, we are basically nullified.

I also think fatigue has been a factor. Jones must cover some serious ground every game, and he's doing it for 90 minutes 3 times a week at the moment. Crooks as well. Both their performances have dipped and I think that's why. We're suffering from a serious lack of depth.
