When we go away the home side will have a different mentality and attack much more (in theory) leaving spaces to exploit on the break which, with the quality we have, we do successfully on many occasions.

We end up having to attack, maybe not suiting our game plan, which is why we aint scoring!

My own opinion is that it backs up Tokyo's point completely, when you consider how the games went. And it is the fact that teams are obliged to come out and play that leaves them a lot more vunerable to our quality, also making it easier for us.
Might just look at how many we have conceeded away form home too..
conceeded 5 away and 5 at home
scored 8 away and 7 at home

Our attacking play is so one dimensional Ted that after 15 minutes any team in the prem who come to defend will reap rewards.If we can see the need for change why cant our Manager?

I'd say that the quality of the teams we have played away from home has a big bearing on it too as things stand. Aside from spuds, we have yet to play any of the bigger teams, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Rags, Arsenal, Villa.
Could make a tough 2nd half of the season if we struggle against those and fail to break sides down at home. Quite a worrying thought that actually

How is our attacking play one dimensional Gillie? Can you explain that?
