Well, last season I noticed that for most of our losses, the goals against us were mainly scored in the last ten minutes. One example is the Blackpool game: we were winning one nil until the last few minutes and then we lost it in injury time. What I want to say is that this season, of we're going to get back to the league we belong... Then we're gonna have to start playing the full 90 minutes.

yer, keep an eye on injury time as well

that's the problem! we're told to play the full 90, therefore discounting all the additional time

Think a lot of these last minute defeats though were down to tired legs, inexperience and the fact we had so few options on the bench.

and we sink way too deep as soon as the board for injury time goes up! it's stupid, we've done it for years and no matter what the score, we always seem to be the team clinging on in injury time even if we're losing! we should get in in their half and waste time or press them for corners and stuff just do nothing silly
and need to stop giving away cheap goals throughout the game too such as the many that cranie gave away last season due to sloppy errors by not being switched on

I'd say the stand out difference second half of last season was that we didn't sit on leads: at least 4 or 5 times in the last few minutes we were pressing for another when we already had a lead.

the problem was we sat on 1-0 leads and then pressed in last minute for some odd reason,if we atatcked all game long we would get that killer second goal for once.

Yep

We actually started to score quite a few late goals ourselves

I think it was as much a mental problem as well as physical when we conceded late goal

Complacency was rife throughout the team last season, both on a micro (Per game) and macro (whole season) scale, and you would undoubtedly put this down to inexperience.
One big example was seen after we beat Leeds United. After that game Norwood and a whole host of other city players were tweeting things along the lines of'WE ARE STAYING UP' etc., much to my annoyance and probably many others.
Hopefully this season with a few more experienced heads in the team we won't be pissing so many points away.
