    Away from home it has been like this for years.

    Someone who has more time and skill than I will post statistics (dirty word tonight) showing that we are no worse now than before, away from home.

    And from memory, no worse in performance either.

    We just now seem to have the means, but not the purpose.

    TBH I was done with away games after the 3-0 defeat at Rochdale. Having said that I'm still sat on the fence with regards to LJ, I don't want to see yet another manager sacked but he has to start learning from his mistakes and moving this team forward, we all know the quality is there but he's got to start getting the best out of them!

    What if he is just not up to it?

    I have been thinking for a few weeks now that this is more than likely to be the case. Of course, like everyone else connected to the club i am more than fed up of sacking managers but i have a concern now that we might just stick with a poor one for longer than is healthy for the club, just because we have sacked too many in the past.

    I dunno tbh, it's a difficult one! Personally I would give him this season to see what he can do. However if enough people say they aren't renewing their season tickets as it's too boring/negative etc. then I'm sure the board will act and remove him as they did Wilson before.

    He may be a young manager but he's not a first season rookie. I'm starting to think this is as good as it gets with him and that's very worrying.

    Having now slept on it....I now feel.....twenty is indeed plenty. However it weren't worth twenty pence yesterday.... fooking rubbish.

    On a positive note, it has saved me a tidy sum cos I have done with aways now.

    Third away match I've done this season. Lost all three scoring two and conceding eight. I think I'll join you in knocking them on the head.

    Have we ever not been utterly abject away from home? Let's have a look at the last 10 seasons.

    14/15: W6 D6 L11
    13/14: W4 D4 L15
    12/13: W5 D8 L10
    11/12: W4 D5 L14
    10/11: W3 D8 L12
    09/10: W6 D5 L12
    08/09: W5 D6 L12
    07/08: W3 D6 L14
    06/07: W6 D1 L16
    05/06: W7 D7 L9

    Pathetic really isn't it, even in our promotion season it's average at best. How we still get the numbers we do away from home I don't know, imagine the amount that would travel if we actually strung a few away wins together. As it is, I can't blame people for finally knocking it on the head after suffering the above.
