Will our away philosophy take us down?
Permalink  
 

It just seems odd to me. Our away record last season was hopeless, this season it is utter dire.

So what's the basis of sticking to a mind set that historically clearly doesn't work?

Its fine to make sure you're always in the game, if you have recorded results you've come the right side of and have players who just require one bit of magic to swing a game you've made tight. We fail in both respects.

So as yesterday is a reoccurrence of near every game we play away, don't score first and its curtains then where is the basis to stick with this? I realise our small and lack of depth squad is plagued by injuries but surely Redfearn can't stick to this ethos? If we carry on like this will it place too much pressure on picking the 9 or so wins up at home? Cos they're damn well not gonna come on the road

Our philosophy is League One here we come, and i stand by that claim, MK Dons result will come back and haunt us.

Nothing to do with away philosophy, what will relegate us is our lack of quality in all positions!

 Mostly agreed Axholme, got a few quality players but surrounded by patch up journey men. Unfortunatley it looks like the fix is gonna be, patch up journey men crycry

Looks that way, lack of finance again but hey we are still in with a shout of staying up thanks mainly to there being a number of rubbish teams around us. Trouble is, with the transfer window open now, some will strengthen, Bristol City ready to splash £2 million on Zach Hughes from Bolton being one.

Were tryin by the looks to off load some of the big earners but lets be honest who's goona want em. Birmingham for example not interested in havin Halford back. Never gonna compete in this league on quality of player due to wages required, how many times have we heard of £1 million being rumoured for a player only to see them sign elswhere for a higher £/week.

Doomed I tell yer! Doomed!!!

I agree, it aint working away.

There have been notable away performances over the last 2 seasons but very few and far between. One must assume that its simply a case of quality especially consistency. I do think all this init until 70 minutes and then we have a chance stuff is utterly negative-It has no merit at all. Set up like that in any venture and one is doomed! doomed , I tell yer!

Where is the self belief. I certainly dont see it pouring out of Redders. I see some passion but not enough to get me excited. I hope the young men can motivate themselves.
