We’ve done well in the first half of many games - I think opposition teams are still trying to work out Matos setup so we seem to assert ourselves well in the first 45 minutes without anyone really pushing us hard.
I’ve noticed we tend to lose control the first 10/15 minutes of second half and this is usually down to a shift of tactics from the opposition who have probably worked out our initial setup.
Having real quality coming off the bench on the 60 minute mark seems to reinsert our dominance in a number of games and gives us a real boost recently I.e Watford, Oxford, Wrexham. Last season we seemed to lose that momentum around the 60 minute mark and we had no impact from the bench.
