Hasn’t been a decent performance since Sunderland in Oct, and you could argue that was an initial post Adkins reaction.
Burton we won but it was poor and scrappy. Morecambe, Shrewsbury, Plymouth, Cheltenham, Crewe, Hartlepool were all poor. Gateshead we made hard work of as well.
what is it? Our style / formation? We haven’t got enough fighters or attitude away from The Valley?
Or could it be we are in fact over achieving at home.

Add to that shit set pieces, lack of a clinical goal scorer.
Even "under Adkins" which seems to have become the CL byword for us being shit, we were only 1 goal per game away from at least a point.
11 v 11 we are better than 75% of the teams we play. They beat us at the basics.
The old cliche about southern softies does ring true a bit. Yes, not all those away day defeats have been at grim oop north places, but we don't travel well.
Only played against Plymouth away and some of Burton away. Away from home we need someone to hold the ball up and take the pressure of the midfield and back 4. Aneke can now do that job but we didn’t have that target man which is vital when playing away from home.
Didn't even play very well away to Gateshead in the FA Cup.

We are currently in 13th position League One based on home form only.

The other 5 we've won to nil.
The away form is a reoccurring thing.
