Our away record for the season so far has not been brilliant, though our recent overall form (that blip at Accrington excepted) has been encouraging. Beginning at Home Park on 2 January, if our away form over the rest of the season were to match our home form, we could be in for an exciting finish come April. Is there any reason, barring injuries and suspensions, why our away results should not improve over the coming weeks?

If you discount the 5 goals we scored against both Chesterfield and Sheff U in the cup, our league 'goals for' statistic is really poor away from home. I don't know the reason for this however and would hope it improvesfor the second half of the season. Of all the away games i've been to this season in the league i've only seen 3 goals and they all came in one game against Crewe. Hopefully we can put on a Gresty-esque performance vs Gargs and kick on from there.

Would be nice to pick up better away results. If we can keep our home form tight and keep picking up important results at home the away form will follow and we will be doing well.

We have had some tough away games, some of the easier games our coming up in the 2nd half of the season but no game is easy.

Away out of 30 points we got 12 .
Home out 36 points we got 22. If im right. or Close enough.

If we keep the home form about the same and pick up an exta few wins away then im confident we would be around the play offs if not in them.
Saying that would be nice to have turned them home draws to win. But looking at our fixtures we got the same fixtures but the other way round so dont be suprised to see the away form maybe go better than the home.

Yes , but what i find totaly amazing is just 9 goals scored away from in the league in 10 matchs has seen us pick 12 points, and 5 of those goals came in 2 matchs, Crewe and Rovers away.Thats actually not a bad return of such a low number of goals scored.

It's the away form that will be the difference to us sneaking a playoff spot and falling away to mid/lower mid table.

The remit at season start was, and I guess still is, "consolidation". I would hope that having achieved a favourable position in the table going into the January window and with completion of a brand spanking new Grandstand for next season, that promotion is built in as a goal on top of the foundation called consolidation.
