Thank you Acker 79. If we score the same number away as we did last season but concede fewer we would get promoted but Gus wants us to be more consistent. As I said get the defence right first the rest will follow.
For he mathematicians if we did that only 1 team could get more than 1 point of us. Hull City, we would get 4 off of 21 teams plus 3 off Hull so that would be 87 which would probably get us promoted if this scenario happened.
Granted but this must be the aim of the players to reach those levels which came about by the coaching of Don Howe as they were nearly all low grade players when Arsenal bought them, so why cant Tanno do the same.
If we draw away games others must drop points at home. We will sore the odd goal away and get a win the important thing is don't concede and don't lose.
Why is it irrelevant to compare us with Arsenal defensive record. Is that not one of Gus's aims to make us a better defensive unit and be consistently so and as such this is the inspiration and level we should aspire to..
Once you have mastered not conceding goals away to thus get a draw the scoring of them will come. This was how George Graham set up Arsenal and to quote Tony Adams if we dont concede we have got a point if we score 1 we might win, but we know if we score 2 away we will win.
Why worry about the lack of goals away from home just don't concede any. The formula for promotion is win at home draw away so 22 draws 0-0 will do us well provided we win at the Amex.
