Last 10mins syndrome

I think statistically speaking, that most goals are scored in the 80-90 minute time period.

So this happens to all teams.

We seem to concede more than our fair share late on though and are definitely doing a fair bit to drive that stat up...

Because I swear every manager we've ever had decides to sit back instead of chasing the second goal like we should. Just carry on playing like we were doing when we scored and we'd have been fine, why'd we have to slow it down and let them come back at us?

Shame he wasn't managing today? Any chance to get a dig in though I suppose. Pathetic and embarrassing.
He was mate.

80-90 minutes isn't when most goals are scored. But it is against leicester. I think the players know this and become increasingly nervous. They have to learn how to kill a game off, they should watch some italian football.

Yes he was, if you looked at the dugout you could cleary see him talking to the players etc, he may not of picked the 11 but he made the subs.

So how come we are always conceding them there and not scoring any??

Megson cost us today, poor substitutions.

rubbish - conceeding a goal from nowhere cost us - the substitutions had nothing to do with that.

clemence hit the bar in the last 5, didn't he.

maybe the subs didn't help but they're all profressionals and all capable of playing a winning game.

The substitutions certainly did not help our cause at all, certainly Kishishev on the left wing, it left us very vulnerable down the left side.

Isn't it funny how as soon as Taggart came out to shout instructions, we started playing defensive and shit :whistle: No doubt he'll escape any criticism.

For me, the defensive substitutions send a message to the whole team. It's a mental thing. When players see defensive players coming on it flicks a switch in their head to go defensive. It sent out all the wrong messages.

but didn't kish and chambers come on before they scored - surely if the players were thinking defensively someone would have closed down for the goal???

you're probably right, but it doesn't explain why we conceeded, maybe why we didn't score (tho we came close?).

i think it's the element of focus and concentration that makes the difference late in the game...

I agree its really does make you worry and makes you think will we ever be back up in the prem

come on, it's way too early, this is a fresh team getting to know each other - we could have been 4th today depending on results, its way too early and way too tight to write us off...
