    In terms of their attitude away from home.

    They go for it, don't sit back, whoever they're playing, and despite having clearly inferior individuals have managed to get some fantastic away results this season.

    Funnily enough, it's how we played at Anfield last season.

    It's better to go down with a fight than go and defend somewhere when you've proved consistently you can't keep clean sheets on the road.

    Im sorry but if we did go for it away and ended up losing by 3 & 4 people will say "Oh well done, at least we went for it"?

    I don't think so

    I didn't say go anywhere gung ho, just with a reaonably positive attitude, ala Hull City.

    It hasn't done them any harm at Anfield, the Emirates or White Hart Lane has it?

    Or us at Anfield last season.

    Not on about today, I didn't go, but I've been to enough aways in the last couple of seasons to see the pattern.

    It sounded like we played alright today, and it was a tough game, but overall we just don't do anywhere near well enough away from Oakwell.

    Rather see us go and have a go and lose than turn up and offer very little threat and come home with **** all. Sick of seeing same old stuff, we have a group of talented players that controlled most of the game against top of the table side today, i just dont think the manager does them justice with the tactics and style of play. We will finish bottom 6 again this season when we have players capable of better,

    controlled most of the game???

    ok i didnt go... listened to the reports that kept coming on final score though,,, sounded like we had offered nothing... only that are defense had saved us from a complete hammering, personally we need some creativity in out team, we havent got a creative player who can find a killer ball.... just my opnion though... need to get it sorted and fast

    We didn't control the game.

    Had a decent amount of possession but didn't do anything with it. Never looked like threatening Wolves at all. They, on the other hand, dealt comfortably with everything we threw at them and always looked dangerous going forwards. They were completely in control.
