Why do we only play for 15 mins

[As_time_goes_bye]

Its a common theme, where we are chasing a game and we decide for the last 15. If we had played like that for the entirety of the game or at least the 2nd half we might have and probably would have got a result. Too many times this season, I have watched games where we only start playing in the last 15 mins.

Yep and thats why I was pissed off, yes we're up against it with injuries, bugs, curses etc... but we we're meant to come out bouncing back from WBA and the 1st half was pathetic. We only turned it on for that short time 2nd half, still should have been enough for us to win the game, but poor defending cost us. Should have been better for longer.

Think it's a valid question. My take on it, is that whilst we are still not losing in a game, there will always be an element of caution to how we play. Players, certainly defenders, don't want to be the one that makes the mistake that costs us a goal. And that means a slower tempo to our game.
