we've got 6 wins and 20 points over the past 12 games. that's pretty much auto promotion form (if you assume we'd do even better at home, which we have (21 points from 9 in the same timeframe)
we had a very poor away *start*, but our form is solid. |  |

We have played the top 6 sides and all the top half aside from Southampton away already too. |  |

and doesn't end till may. what's your point?
it's away *form* that's being discussed, not overall away points performance! |
Away form is ok but its to move into the good or better category, we have lost 3 games on the road since Mid December. You can't afford 3-4 more before the end of the season.
That's what happens after you have a poor start and are playing catch up.
I hope that helps. [Post edited 26 Feb 17:16]

On paper a good thing but those when playing those scrapping at end of the season it's not always the case. Be really nice to get at least 4 points from Wednesday and Stoke though, could see us getting 6 potentially | |

so you agree that our away form isn't poor, got there in the end!
if we repeat our last 7 game away form and our last 7 home game form, we end on 86, should be enough.
as others have said the relative difficulty of the games should flip, so we're more likely to continue to improve our away form, maintaining the home form may be tougher | |

Very good point. Though does mean we've underperformed elsewhere. [Post edited 26 Feb 10:41]

Over the course of the entire season to date, it's poor for a team with aspirations of the top 2, that's the difference.
We have already lost more games away form home than we did home and away combined in 2024, so for a year 1 parachute club, it's certainly not very good.
However, we have the chance to make it good enough.
Hope this helps (again!). [Post edited 26 Feb 17:54]

again, you need to read the thread title!
*form*!
diverting down your whole season diversion: seeing as you mention year one parachute teams; we're ahead of both soton and leicester, so by that metric we're actually doing very well | |

i am, if you're unable to comprehend simple language, think you've been exposed to too much trump "alternative truth"!
if you're not able to contribute to the "poor away form myth" thread, maybe you could start one called "sub-optimal year one parachute team away season so far issue"? | |

You miscalculated the lengths some Town fans will go to to paint a negative picture. I know of one fan who has booked a holiday the week of the potential play off games because he thinks we won’t even make the play offs, as Norwich, Southampton and Sheffield Utd will all overtake us [Post edited 26 Feb 11:10]

He'd have got some very tasty price quotes if he'd approached some bookmakers! | | | |

I know you can prove anything with facts, but our remaining seven away games are:
Saints (7th)
Stoke (13)
Norwich (17)
Charlton (18)
Portsmouth (19)
WBA (21)
Sheff Wed (24)
That's obviously heavily weighted to the lower end of the table, so you'd expect us to do better in the final chunk of the season than we have up to now.
Possibly you'd expect our home form to tail off similarly with the teams currently second, third and fifth still to visit PR. |
We have to be expecting wins in 5 of those 7 surely?
Sheff Weds has to be close to a gimme, given their season to date.
Wins at Saints or Nodge would be a big bonus.
Baggies away and QPR at home feels like a pretty winnable pair of games to finish with. | | | |

its not a myth is it, its fact, as pointed out on this thread.
the away form has to be looked at across a season, for the full picture. its possible to focus in on a smaller section of games to give more of a view of where we are at this moment of time too.
both are ok to do. but you are judged ultimately over a season [Post edited 26 Feb 19:22]

You're right, you've really schooled me with your intellectual ability, just like with your comments on our striker situation before the season. You're clearly a football genius, so much so you're randomly having to mention something about America. | |

” the away form has to be looked at across a season”
I wasn’t going to comment on this silly to and fro, but it’s getting to the point where people are beating up on the OP by redefining what a phrase or term means.
In sport, form refers to the current, short-term performance level of an athlete or team, based on recent results (e.g., last 5–10 games).
I tend to think that 10 games offers a better trend analysis, as it smooths out one-off blips, but form certainly doesn’t refer to an entire season. Sure, the sustained performance over the entire season is critical, and determines success or not, but it’s not ‘form’, and that is what this thread was started to discuss | | | |

i think we pretty much agree on this.
part of my post says very similar "its possible to focus in on a smaller section of games to give more of a view of where we are at this moment of time too."
In my line of work i analyse service outages, would be stupid to say that the company is failing based on something that was happening 6months ago, when more recently things look alight brighter and in a better position.
but when a season is decided over a 46 games period you have to also consider what happened across all those games | | | |

plenty have said it's poor, seem to be pop up every time we fail to win an away game! |
If we win our away game in hand we jump to 6th best away record.
But Hull have the best away record in the Championship for me. We should not take that game lightly.

The form in this case is over 12 games.
We've only had 16 away games all season. so to say **form** is 3/4rds of te season is a bit odd. if it was over say 6 games then maybe form is correct. | | | |
