    Amount of games we seem to lose our momentum in the second half has been incredible- not sure how much of an impact the coach can make in 15 games but it's something that needs addressing

    Think there's a psychological angle to that as well - seems to be a common theme emerging that Hecky apparently emphasised the negative for want of a better phrase - so maybe a 'just a matter of time' attitude set in which led to us dropping off ?

    See what you mean - we seem to go concede a few between 45 and 50 minutes

    Been a frightening similarity to a lot of the games, especially at home

    The switching off and conceding at similar times in games is definitely a mental thing not a physical..

    In my coaching days it was well known that as players tired their decision making became less efficient. But I doubt that fitness is an issue. We have had an award winning sports scientist working with us and players fitness levels are being monitored all the time.

    ******** really, we should be putting games to bed in the first hour and then the game gets easier. Get the shackles off and we’re ******* golden

    More likely down to muscle fiber types. The same reason I'd beat Usain Bolt over 5K.

    So we've got players with the wrong type of muscle fibre to play 90 minutes? I would have thought that was pretty fundamental

    I've noticed we concede quite a few just after half time though
