Not even a JED issue but just why should away form be so bad, and yes a JED (amongst may others) thing, why should managers typically set out such a negative game plan for away games -
Is it the traveling? - sure the players have had to travel by luxury coach driven by someone else compared with home games where many live miles from Northampton where they have to drive themselves.
Is it the atmosphere? - well my experience both sixfields and away is the away supporters generate far more noise and passionate support than the home crowd.
Is the different pitch? - if professional sportsmen can't adapt or indeed train on different surfaces & conditions it's a damming indictment.
This has always been something I have questioned, just don't get it. How would you approach a game at a neutral ground such as Wembley?
