Gus Poyet believes Queens Park Rangers will get points away from home please log in to view this image © Getty Images By Charlie Bennett, Reporter Filed: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 at 04:12 UK Last Updated: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 at 04:12 UK Sunderland manager Gus Poyet has said that he thinks it is unlikely Queens Park Rangers will lose all 19 away games this season. The West London club have so far lost all 11 of their games away from Loftus Road, and Poyet hopes that run continues tonight as the teams face off at the Stadium of Light. He told reporters: "If you asked me if I would expect any team to lose every single game away from home in one season, I would say to you: 'No'. Now that they can go one extra in the wrong way, it's up to us. Of course they have got a part to play, but sooner or later it should change, I suppose. "I would be very surprised if they don't get any points in the whole season away from home, very, very surprised." Sunderland have won two home games so far this season.
Yes but he's covering himself from flack is how I read it. When they don't beat us he can say 'said it had to happen sometime'.
Maybe that comment should be repeatedly played out to the players on the team coach all the way to Sunderland. It might instil a bit of self belief that they are capable of getting something at the Stadium of Light do that they do not set themselves up to defend from the off. We desperately need to try something different away from home.
