Running out of steam?

[El Hockaday]

Loving the free flowing, attacking football we're playing these days - long way from the snoozefest we saw under Grayson. Is anyone worried, like me, that we seem to run out of steam in the second half? It happened against Stoke, Everton, Barrow and Liverpool. Am I imagining it or do they look knackered? Suppose it's the price you pay for pressing all over the pitch from the off.

Not seen a Pro footballer blowing out of his backside as much as Madine on Tuesday!

Pre
Season all about getting fit, loads of 2nd half subs don’t help the flow. We will be fine

Nothing to do with fitness. Everything to do with an entire team swap in friendlies barring stoke. Barrow was clearly a change of tactic to try and win which failed. Liverpool was a prime example. First 45 mins we were far superior it was almost embarrassing for Liverpool.

It's mass substitutions that have spoiled the momentum in the friendlies as far as I'm concerned

The problem so far has been in some of the games not taking advantage of our possession and chances. Clearly the fitness levels are up to a level where we can play good high tempo football, we just need to be more ruthless in front of goal. Am sure that will come.
