We've won 5 more points away from home under Harris than we have at home having played the same number of games both home and away. We've also scored 5 more goals away from home over the same period. The obvious blot on the copy book was the 6-1 at Loftus Road.
I think it's quite simple. We're happier for teams to have the ball and attack us, then hit them on the break, where we have enough pace and talent to pinch games. Harris has brought more of a passing game to us. Away from home that can be used as a way of stopping the home team having the ball and having some control. At home, it needs to be more proactive, more attacking. We haven't enough talent to unlock defences playing keep ball but we're very good at hitting teams on the break.
We've won 2 home games in 2020 under Harris. West Brom and Leeds, the top 2. We've rarely looked capable of beating any of the others at home when the **** has been on us to have a go. Simply, having a passing game and trying to break teams down at home doesn't suit us. We're perfect as an away team. It begs the question of why we were so poor under Warnock away from home this season until he was sacked.
