Playing at home means you don't have to hire a bus.

Whether you play defensive or attacking or both or....is a judgement on what will do the job in any given game. I play defensive or attacking based on 3 criteria - 1. the quality of opponent 2. the effectiveness of my formation v oppononent's 3. the outcome I want. I do not factor in whether its home or away.

(Occasionally I might want or be required to use a formation that is not optimal so if I decide that changing the mentality improves that I will change it.)
