Evening form (9 Viewers)

[ccfc1234]

Looking at our results across the season. Is there any logical reason we have lost the majority of our games in evening matches, both home and away?
Tuesday is a one off game but if you have a look through there is a pattern!

Poor away, poor midweek.

If Sunlun don’t finish this off, it’s shit on their part.

if frank had wheels, he would have been a bicycle.

no pattern, its just football.

It makes sense to me... The players are less pissed for the 12.30 & 3pm kick offs.

Unless he had 3 wheels then he'd be a tricycle

Our away record in the playoffs is good. The second legs (that we’ve won) have all been midweek iirc?

Based on my rough maths evening games thus season account for 31.3% of all matches but 45% of all losses and at home there was a dramatic drop in home performance during evening games - the win rate falls by more than two-thirds compared to daytime home games (from 63.2% to about 20.0%)!!

Nothing to worry about for now but it's been a talking point in my family so wanted to share!

Was Notts County not a Friday night? I can't bloody remember it was that long ago feels like so much has happened between then and now. Mad to think it was only 7 years ago.

Both Notts County and Boro were Friday nights!

Some of the defeatism on here is a little bit much to be honest. If I was a gambling man crunching numbers, you’d back Sunderland to get over the line but this KO football over 2 legs and weird things happen.

In the 22/23 season our away from in the second half of that season was top drawer - the last game we lost away was in February!
We were in a groove with the perfect counter attacking players.

We've been shite away this season - and based on Friday, have you seen anything that makes you think we can either score two, or keep a clean sheet!?

Boro away was midweek from memory.

Sunderland’s home, away and head-to-head against us was poor… they still overcome that and there’s no reason that we can’t.

We’ve won away at Sunderland a few times and they’ll be mindful of that and they have to deal with that whilst having the pressure of maintaining a lead.

It’s the first half of the tie. We probably believed in 17/18 and 22/23 that we ‘needed’ to win at home. We didn’t and overcome strong opponents at home to progress.

Regardless, we have 100% record of getting to play off finals by winning the away leg.

More of this optimism! No surrender up north!
