Qld Roar - winless at home, unbeaten away

So far, the story of Queensland Roar's inconsistent season reads: no wins at home, no losses away. I dunno whether to laugh or cry. So far, they have played 4 home games at Suncorp Stadium. The first one was against Adelaide & ended 1-1. I went to that match. I skipped the subequent 3 homes games, all of which were lost. It's a good thing I skipped those matches.

I just cannot understand it. How can a team struggle so much to win a match at home? Aren't teams meant to do better at home than away? Not it seems when your team is called Queensland Roar. Ok, the fact that they're unbeaten away is definitely commendable. Yet, the inescapable lament is that they cannot even win ONE home game. In the European leagues, teams with the same dismal home record as Qld Roar will most likely be around the bottom of the ladder. But hey, this is the A-League & things are different here. That's why Qld Roar's season is not over yet. Not by quite a way. There's still plenty to play for. There's still a chance for the Roar to make the A-League playoffs. But whether they are good enough to take it remains to be seen.
