Slow starters this season.
First halves:         6  2 1 3  5-5    7
Second halves      6  5 1 0  10-0  16

Basically, first half is almost relegation level territory, second half is a crushing it

This despite getting players sent off in two games, meaning that two of those second halves were played with 10 men

tubby:
Think a lot of the first half stuff is that opposition teams put a LOT of effort into countering us with their pressing.  They always drop off in the second half.

Ultimate Bromance:
Quite like that purple hoodie he's sporting, is that in the shop?

It's probably a good way to try and beat us though to be fair. Got to take some kind of risk and it's going to be a free hit for a lot of teams not expecting points. If teams just sit in we've got a lot of attacking quality for 90 minutes and seem better at trying to break that down then playing through an aggressive press at the moment.

Bar their goal which was a 1 in a 100 worldie I can't recall them really threatening us much first half, most half chances they got were due to a bit of sloppiness which was to be expected with the rustiness.
