We seem to start games slowly, then get better as the game progresses
 What do we put that down to? 

Nerves? Tactics? 

Hoping for a strong start against the scouse convicts team of thugs.
True, Cambridge could easily have scored 2 or 3 before we got going.
We did ok first half but their defence was well set up and they broke well.
The team looks to me to be one that susses the opposition out then goes for the throat. and bear in mind we are still bedding in up to a dozen new players.

Tactics, same as last season.
I think DC sets his stall out and uses the first half to get the second right ( mostly).

Does he get no scouting reports that would allow him to get things right from the off?
Who's the scouse convict?

Barton. Mind you,  it is probably applicable to half of the population of Liverpool
Ah! He's from Huyton, I didn't realise, sorry.

Reminds me of a local saying:

“One eye in Huyton the other in New Brighton!”
Is that like "one Isaiah than the other"?
