The second 45 wont define a whole season either, but it might tell you a lot about whether certain players have changed their attitude from last season. At least if they knuckle down and improve in the second half it will show progress from folding on a bad day like last season (same could be said of us too).
They're **** mate, there's no big revelation, people seem surprised they haven't turned into world beaters. Three new signings needed, one we have but not quite ready. Until we get them we're going to struggle like I've said all summer.
