The Situation
Striker
So far, we've lost 6 games at home this season with one home game left. The defeats have come against Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool, Blackpool, Fulham, and West Brom.
Last season, we lost 3 games at home. The defeats were against Chelsea, Manchester United and Aston Villa.
We really need to make the Stadium of Light a fortress again.
No-one fears coming here any more, fans are confident about their chances up here and when you look at the teams who come here and picked up points who can blame them? Even earlier this season we had Ferguson pleading with the referee to blow the full-time whistle as we had them on the ropes. Perhaps the injuries etc have contributed to us doing poorly at home, but mid-table teams like us don't tend to do too well at home so making teams fear coming to the Stadium of Light is imperative for us next season IMO, just like it was in 2009/2010.
