What’s with the away form?

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.

    Lack of bollocks, lack of ambition, lack of leadership, lack of commitment. 

    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. 
  • A good question.

    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.
  • Lack of character, players going through the motions, don’t seem to bothered , not up for the fight.

    These players are a bunch of mental weaklings......no resolve or desire whatsoever.....I would rather have had a bunch of U-23 players tonight running their hearts out.......

    Jayden Stockley.

    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.

    Just pretty ordinary players who probably think they haven't got much to play for. 

    Didn't even play very well away to Gateshead in the FA Cup.

    Why the focus on just away form, we are hardly a force to fear at home.

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

    Played 7 under Jacko at home. 16 points from 21. Only conceded two goals. Home form isn’t an issue.

    We have been absolutely fine at home since Jackson has taken charge though, Only lost 1 and drawn 1in the league if I remember correctly and that was against Rotherham and Wycombe.

    The other 5 we've won to nil.

    The away form is a reoccurring thing.

    Back three not strong enough when under pressure and only one midfielder (Dobson) can help, and no wing backs in the squad before the Chelsea lad signed.

    I believe the main issue with the away form is we are shit.
