Take today,
Why go defensive 2nd half while excellent in the 1st.
Why put Mc Goldrick instead of a pacy alternative.
Why when one nil up we switch off before the game ends.
All MM traits. |  | | |  |

It's crucial, vis a vis your first point, to remember there are two teams on the pitch. He will have asked for more of the same at half time, and quite rightly. That was always going to be difficult if Norwich came out well. | |

But flip that around - Nigel Clough probably asked for more of the same from Burton last week; Mick presumably asked for a better performance. Burton managed what was asked of them and we didn't by a large margin. | |

I don’t think we went defensive, I think Norwich just adjusted slightly, got on the ball more and pinned us back
Think McGoldrick was definitely the wrong move - but had he not come on he’d be taking pelters for leaving him on the bench too
Not sure McCarthy can particularly be blamed for the equaliser, but it was an absolute kick in the teeth
Seasons over and Micks time is up, but putting emotion to the side he got more right than he did wrong today, tactically at least |  |

Where did the myth that we were excellent first half come from? |  |

Sure. Which goes to show it isn't an exact science. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. | |

When was the last time it worked for us though? I can't remember the first time we played poorly in the first half and picked it up for the second. Playing well in the first and going off the boil in the second, yes, but not the other way round. | |

I think it stems from the fact that we've become so used to his containment tactics that by that token it was a success, Norwich created nothing, whilst we managed to show some intent going forward.
We definitely lacked cutting edge up front though, we didn't force Gunn into as many saves first half as they did Bart in the 2nd. We were crying out for the likes of Ward, Celina and Carayol to provide something but in the end none of them werr given the chance. | | | |

Town snuffed them out in the first half.
Their TM reacted & made changes
Town TM didn't and lost the 2nd half
Towns 5 yellows shows how desperate thinking got- sad | | | |
