If our home and away fixtures had been reversed with the same scores i.e. we beat Brentford, Bournmouth etc at home but draw with Wycombe, lost to Rotherham, etc away would it be more acceptable to you and is it just because we are so poor at home you are more angry and disapointed?
 
I wouldn't be happy but I'd certainly be more accepting, results at home is ingrained in most people as that's where the majority of us see the team play live. On the other hand, if our away form was as it is now and had a slightly better record at home, I could accept that too as another win and couple of draws, while still pretty bad home form, would make us competitive which matters to me above all.
 
Yeah don’t think too many people would bat an eye lid if they were more evenly spread. Given none of us can attend I don’t really give a shit where we get our wins, I watch every game on my sofa anyway.

End of the day we’ve had a massive rollercoaster season. Outclassing top sides on their ground and being outclassed by lowly teams on ours. I said I’d be evaluating after 15 games and Neil has done more than enough for me to stay.
 
Good question.

Think it needs to be accepted that many fans have lost faith in Alex Neil, Hemmings, Peter, or all three.

However, its no good people dismissing their views. Something needs to change, we need to look for answers for our abysmal home performances.

Its not just this season either as ive said elsewhere ive not enjoyed a home game performance for a very long time.

Maybe if fans where there we would be better, maybe we wouldn't, but I do believe the manager would have been sacked by now if the results had been that bad with fans in the stadium.

I am not sure the manager knows how to turn it around at home.

Yes he has been dealt a bit of a shit hand but the excuses are waring thin.

The problem is, it isn't just a weird statistical anomaly such that we can just flip results and suddenly everything looks fine.

Home or away, we have to take the initiative against defensive/lesser teams, and we clearly can't.

Going back fully 12 months now, we clearly can't.

And watching us try is a bloody awful spectacle to behold.

At best, with the Big 4 all present and correct, we are a decent counter-attacking team against teams (usually when we're away) who are willing to come out and try to attack us.

Which, with Pearson's injury today, doesn't bode well for our immediate future.

Getting fantastic results away from home is an absolute buzz for a day or so but feels almost a pointless exercise if you constantly serve up garbage performances at home. Unless of course it probably wouldn't piss you off as much if a mid table going nowhere finishing position in the table is deemed as ok
