Why do we almost always lose on sky

[mattbianco1]

Why do we lose slightly more than half of the time on Sky (assuming we don’t count red button games)?

This has really got me thinking.. Do CW & AK know how to prepare the players for these different kick off times?

The defeats have been:
Swansea x2 (1pm & 530pm)
FLDC (530pm)
Leeds (1pm)
WBA (Friday 745pm)
Boro (Tuesday 745pm)
Serious question. Do we not prepare properly for those games or is it the fact that they’re just good teams – 4 defeats to top 6 and 2 to relegated Swans…

Is that really a 'serious' question?

We've already established that Wilder is 'a liar' (FACT) over the Ched signing, but do you now want to add incompetence to the charge sheet?

'In Wilder we trust' didn't last that long, did it?

Personally I'd go with the fact we're going up against good teams. We haven't done well against "top six" teams in the last few seasons (going back to league one actually - we got 100 points but only won 3 out of 10 games against the teams 2nd-5th, with all of those coming at home). That kind of makes sense in that good teams are by definition going to be harder to beat, but we are definitely worse than most other playoff teams in that regard. That's the bigger deal for me - that we can't at least get a point from some of those games. Admittedly we have the chance to correct that in the next few weeks.

Again though, not totally surprising when you look at the quality / depth those other teams have.

Incidentally, Norwich's home record against top six this season is played 4, won 1 lost 3. Add that to the fact we're not on Sky and surely that's a banker away win

We haven't done well against such teams in the last four decades.

Beat Derby and Reading this season on TV. Can’t think of another. It was similar last season. If we had a league table just for live games I bet we would be in the bottom three. Why????

Because it’s the games against the top sides that are televised, generally.

I can help you sort the couch. Just make sure a Discovery can be parked nearby (don't worry, if there isn't a spot Vern will make one) and in the name of God, make sure the kettle is on.

Was it? I had it in my head that we played at BL at the early KO

I seem to recall beating a couple of them when we haven’t been on the box.

There's no mystery to it. You win some, you lose some. It's a fact of life and nothing to do with Sky.

The two aren’t mutually exclusive.,
