It does appear that at the start of games teams are really trying to get at us and disrupt our play but have we now seen a change in mentality whether it is having to get back into games after our defences have been broken by that pressure or not we can turn games around at least at home and starting to getting results. I will qualify that comment by saying we have played some poor teams in our last three home games teams that seem to be one trick ponies who have stuck to one plan on how to win a game and have been found out. We will see if things continue to progress and hopefully we can adopt that mentality away from home where the pressure applied by the opposition can be expected to be more relentless. Can we hold firm and get the ball forward well enough to punish teams as they press up.

Generally concur with what he said. We did begin to control the game after a rough start and I didn't think we'd done as badly as others did, although we hadn't really worked their keeper enough.
I think that's kinda where we stand at the minute. The team is harder working and more resilient than we were. That was a game we'd have easily lost a month ago. I've not checked the stats but for me we seem more willing to take the risks more when in a shooting position. We're just not quite there in terms of being more incisive in the final third.
Inoussa was the prime example of that. He had their defenders on toast any time he wanted but didn't seem to believe it. Getting that belief into him and the others will be half of Matos' battle, and I fervently hope that he is trying to do so instead of being happy to let them keep cutting back when they don't need to.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.
