If I compare say Liverpool away in 2011 and Saturday. Its totally different.

I have noticed a tanglible loss in enthusiam on away days. I only do 6 or 7 a year but the negative style and below-par away performances are taking their toll on the good will of the yellow army.

2011 was great in terms of atmos - even in defeat.
Last year I could sense at Reading, West Ham, QPR etc - when we were awfull that enthusiam was dropping off.

If we get a result on Saturday, will the Villa fans be singing Hughton's name? (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Sep 16, 09:55:46
- Just know we'll beat them at home!! 3-0. It's hard to dislkie Hoots, seems a top bloke! (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Sep 16, 10:29:45
- We certainly need a result on Saturday. (NCFC) - Pit, Sep 16, 10:25:49
  - Certainly do with the run of games after Stoke! (n/m) (NCFC) - Kirrie, Sep 16, 10:47:17

      - All those are fair - but Johnson appears undroppable. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Sep 16, 10:40:32
        
        BJ should not be undroppable (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 16, 11:27:14
        
        Maybe up til now, but taking him off on Sat would hint at otherwise (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Sep 16, 11:00:07
    - Yes. agree. onwards. I think we are struggling a bit to gel and get the season moving. (NCFC) - Pit, Sep 16, 10:35:47
      - I agree, Garrido has not started the season well and I am not his biggest fan tbh (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 16, 11:30:04
      - I think he's been poor for a good six months (NCFC) - norway, Sep 16, 10:39:39
        
        On a point of tactics, the only thing that concerns me (NCFC) - duke of york, Sep 16, 10:50:08
        
        Bingo, 100%, A+, please read Chris Hughton (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Sep 16, 13:35:11
        
        ^^^this. very much. (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Man, Sep 16, 11:04:24
        
        We play so deep if we ever get the ball it takes 25 (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Sep 16, 13:39:17
        
        Yep - a nuanced argument expressing concerns (NCFC) - norway, Sep 16, 10:57:39
        
        If I compare say Liverpool away in 2011 and Saturday. Its totally different. (NCFC) - Pit, Sep 16, 11:06:02
        
        liverpool away 2011 v liverpool away 2012 is a better comparison! (n/m) (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Sep 16, 11:13:14
        
        ok. what was the difference. I didnt do 2012 away (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Sep 16, 11:33:46
        
        2012 away was gutlass, clueless, tacticly void, useless, pointless....far worse than (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Sep 16, 11:53:08
        
        sounds a bit like Fulham away at the start of last season (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 16, 11:59:00
        
        I got heat stroke that day. Didnt like the mixed away end either. (NCFC) - Pit, Sep 16, 12:06:02
        
        That and the fact that it was probably the worst game Turner has probably EVER played (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 16, 12:07:38
        
        then the stupid song which followed on. "he used to be shyte.." etc (NCFC) - Pit, Sep 16, 12:17:47
        
        he had one really shit game and a few below par ones (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 16, 12:53:36
        
        He's done well. The song is just embarassing really. (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Sep 16, 13:35:23
        
        He's a proper traditional no nonsense CB - compliments Seb well (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 16, 13:47:15
        
        Yep agree. Garrido is the weak link at he back at the mo. (NCFC) - Pit, Sep 16, 13:50:57
        
        Olsson deserves his chance for sure (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 16, 14:03:26
        
        Snoddy would just be better off staying on his feet. Diving is an art form (NCFC) - Pit, Sep 16, 14:06:45
        
        clearly! (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 16, 14:08:18
        
        too many of our away games since Sept 2012 could apply to that description. (NCFC) - Pit, Sep 16, 11:57:52
        
        sadly true......though two games in two season v the same team produced vastly different (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Sep 16, 12:17:57
        
        i've always said i beleive that many fans..... (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Sep 16, 10:45:44
        
        Yes. Would like to see Ollo in there on Sat. Agree Hoots is fairly honest. (NCFC) - Pit, Sep 16, 10:49:49
- is it live on the telly? if so what channel, what time? (n/m) (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Sep 16, 09:58:50
  - BT 12:45 K.O. (n/m) (NCFC) - colincanary, Sep 16, 10:04:13
    - cheers but bollocks! need to goto my local villa supporting pub again... (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Sep 16, 10:07:59
      - haha (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 16, 11:33:28
      - we on as well the following week at Stoke but.. (NCFC) - colincanary, Sep 16, 10:15:33
        
        Might be different with Stoke's new 'expansive' style of play! (n/m) (NCFC) - Kirrie, Sep 16, 10:46:37
        
        yeah, good excuse not to watch it.... (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Sep 16, 10:21:19
        
        Diving masterclass with Ashley Young ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Kirrie, Sep 16, 10:49:24
- Hopefully! (n/m) (NCFC) - Drinklebells, Sep 16, 09:58:33
- ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Sep 16, 09:56:31

      - and me!!! (n/m) (NCFC) - CB41, Sep 16, 12:39:39
