Why is the home form so poor?

Would probably be top of the league if based on away form (or closer, anyway) so why the poor home form?
Maybe playing a 5 at the back is a factor? In any case, we seem to be missing the energy of both Stan and Snelus in midfield.
Perhaps 5 at the back for away games only? Any thoughts?

Watching all our away games as well, my perception is that we are far more comfortable trying to soak up pressure and hitting on the break, when teams have pushed up on us and are then open at the back.
When the same is done to us and teams sit deep on us and hit us on the break, we don't seem to be quite as comfortable trying to break teams down when we're at home.
Sometimes it seems that the only thing that might break teams down is if we were more confident at shooting from 25-30 yards rather than trying to play through teams who are already sitting deep on us. But then we're all would be Managers!

Perhaps because teams know how good we can be?
Incidentally yesterday the Mickleover game was a pleasure to watch. They were tough but fair opponents. No whinging or moaning.
If only more teams had the same attitude!
