Match Reaction vs West Ham (away).

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

It tends to to and fro

Last season we scored 37 goals away from home, which is pretty much in line with how many goals we scored away from home in league winning seasons. After 9 games this season we’ve already failed to find the net in more games than we did the whole of last season.

Don’t get me wrong the 37 goals stat is quite misleading in the sense that its padded by four goals scored against Hull, Sunderland and Stoke and 5 goals against West Ham.

In terms of our inability to break teams down its far more like the 05/06 season where we ended up scoring 20 away from home all season.

And in fact our away form in 2017, is in fact completely the same as our away form for that season won 6 Drawn 4 and Lost 9 (that was called a transitional season )

It’s not so much saying things haven’t been shit for a long time, it’s more that at times it can be shit in different ways. We either can score goals but can’t defend, can defend but can’t score goals or at the moment can’t do either.
