..now we're exactly halfway through the season is the fact we've played 4 more home games than away (13/9) and that our last 4 away games have produced a paltry 3 points, infact we've taken only 3 points out of the last 15 available away from home.
What I do hope is that our form improves greatly because if it continues we could slip out of the top 6 when that balance evens out, especially with teams like Solihull below us who have played 5 more away games than home and have taken 18 points out of the 21 available so far at home.
I'm hoping DC is toying with possibly changing our recent tactics away from home, maybe playing Bloomfield from the off or some other change of formation as what we've been trying lately is obviously not working.

Away form definitely needs to improve for the rest of the season, though 2 of the 4 defeats were affected by Pools having a man sent off - Odusina in the first half at Solihull and Molyneux not long after he'd come on as a second half sub at Weymouth.

I'm still wondering when Molly is going to get himself back in to contention - he hasn't started a game since early December and didn't make the bench on Saturday even though he's finished serving his ban.

With Featherstone out as well at the minute the ball is spending too much time in the air for my liking - he can't come back soon enough as far as I'm concerned.

for me this season he has gone backwards and not really captured his form of last season no matter what the reasons.

Let’s be honest it’s quite a big concern, especially when 4 of the next 5 are away and against some of the better teams. Not only are we not picking up points away, the goals have dried up, think we would snatch someone’s hand off for a point tonight, that will turn the Barnet game into another must win.

yes, away form and results are the key to where we will finish. need a really good and deserved victory away as quickly as possible for a confidence booster to the players. some seem to look 6 inches taller at the vic and play with much more of a swagger.
