Fast Starters

I mentioned this on a thread last week.

Seems to me that we pretty much dominate the first 20 minutes of every game. In the games we have managed to take advantage and score during this period we go on to win comfortably the exception being the home game at Stoke (I'm sure someone will correct me if this is wrong!)

When we haven't managed to capitalise on our early dominance it's almost as though the players lack belief and inevitably we have ended up conceding just before or just after half time and then struggled.

Hopefully now with our nearly full quota of players and the fact that the team seem full of confidence we can continue to grab the early goal and get a good run going.

Definitely a big improvement in actually punishing teams when we are on top, much more clinical instead of needing ten chances to get one goal, when we have a fully fit squad I fear no one in this league, there’s no stand out team like last year, such a shame we were savaged by all those injuries earlier in the season

I don't think our players lack self belief.

Brentford.

3 up by the 23rd minute then eventually won 4-3.

But yes, you have a strong valid point re starting fast on the front foot.

That one we won at least!!!

it's not that I'm saying we don't have self confidence Hedgehog it's that I think that when we don't convert our early dominance into goals it seems that their heads drop

It’s probably a case of running out of ideas rather than heads dropping. We have added a few more options though in this transfer window.
