Home advantage ?

Eleven games in the Championship this afternoon, only 1 home win. Never normally see that.

Is it now getting easier approaching a match as an away team ?

    i thought we won 2 at home... leicester and cardiff
  • He's talking about all the matches played today, not just Charlton.
  • Teckers. Go back and read it again
  • And yeah I think you might be right afka. At least it's got me going to some away games to try and get to see a win!!!
  • As a Charlton fan I feel a lot more at ease with away games than I do with home ones.
  • oops... my bad :/
  • This has been a trend for a few years now in all Divisions - a couple of seasons in League 2, for the first time in the top four flights, there were more away than home wins.

    Teams are better set up now. 4-5-1 away from home is the norm but, at the same time, teams have more pace to support the lone forward on the counter attack.

    Lets hope it continues next sat for the away teams
  • Seems easier to shut up shop and hit on the counter
  • I reckon we'll still end up with more home than away points .... Have we ever had a season with more away than home points?

  • What about the year we won the champ? I seem to remember a lot of away wins and home draws that year?

    48 pts at home and 43pts away in 1999/2000

    Nationwide League Division 1 - 1999/2000

    1. CHARLTON ATHLETIC 46 15 3 5 37 18 12 7 4 42 27 91
  • Last season: 51 home points, 50 away.
  • Done a bit of investigating, and the bottom line is....

    I was wrong :-(

    More chance of a home win in the Championship (45%) than in Premiership (43%), League One (37%) or League Two (33%).

    If fact, an away win in the Championship is least likely out of all four divisions.

    At 2.92, there are more goals per game in the Championship than in all other English divisions.
  • Fella I know had something like more than 94 goals to be scored in all leagues this weekend (can't remember the exact amount of the bet) at 15/1 it came in easily!
