Two away wins all season.
Again.
How do you solve this next season?
Of course the obvious answer is get relegated and then there's four more opportunities to win away but let's not go there just yet....
When Dyche came in he had 9 away games infront of him. End result is 1 win 5 wins and 3 defeats so not terrible but pretty similar to what Lampard was churning out before World cup break.
More disappointing to me is lack of clean sheets, just the one at Palace and it's 16 goals conceded so nearly conceding twice a game on average isn't a great formula for regularly getting away wins.
In same time period Villa for example had played 8 away games and conceded 6 goals. Perhaps an extreme example but going into that Goodison game they weren't that far ahead in the table.
What's the answer, better ball carriers, more pace on counter, more ambition to actually lead games (which worked brilliantly at Brighton).
Make no mistake, team will be doing nothing more again than bottom six next season if the away record remains largely the same. Would need a brilliant home record to be solid mid table all season.
