The goal difference may only count for 1 point as you say, but if we're getting smashed 5-1 or similar every time we play away then overall confidence will drop and this could impact our home games as well. This is the dilemma I think Warne is struggling with.
Personally, I agree with you, I'd rather we went for it and threw the kitchen sink away from home. I'd rather we went toe to toe with teams and I honestly believe it would yield results because none of the so called big guns would expect little old Rotherham to turn up and play an attacking game. I'm just trying to get an idea why Warne might be holding back and I wondered if the Brentford experience is what has spooked him.
