Been writing up my dissertation and doing a small part on home v Away, and came across a journal suggesting teams are more likely to 'choke' at home. With another journal saying that players feel more positive and confident but also anxious about playing in front of a home/ 'supportive' audience.
The literature suggests that some players experience more hostility when playing at home in contrast to playing at away grounds. Couldn't help but relate this to ourselves and that when we play away games there seems to be a lot more positivity, even last season where we won one. Where as at home there is constantly moans and groans about every little thing, and you can't help but think this effects the players.
So keep up that away positivity tonight lads! :claping hands:
