    1) ...to our wingers?

    I first noticed it with Stewart at the Bristol game. When Dawson went forward with the ball if Adomah didn't track him back, then rather than going ahead of Dawson to help the attack Stewart was dropping in at left back. He was also immediately going to Adomah when ever he lost the ball which was making him look like he was being lazy. Now today he seemed to be putting in far less effort than against Bristol, but again he kept going and marking Emmanuel-Thomas rather than supporting the attacks.

    I'd thought against Bristol that it was because Dawson lacks pace and they were countering the threat of the wingers on the counter. Although in that case I'd be questionning why we weren't just playing Dudgeon instead so that the winger could be the winger, because we've effectively had Stewart at left back and Dawson at left wing for large parts of games. But Brady was doing the same thing with Rosenior for the first 20 minutes or so. There were a couple of runs where he just hung about 5 yards to Rosenior's right when he shoulld have been bombing on, and Rosenior wasn't complaining so it looks like it's an instruction of some sort. First time Brady didn't hang back like that he went and scored.

    2) ...at half-time when we've been the better side?

    I know the opposition managers are bollocking their team, but it's not the first time we've come out after being by far the better team in the first half and then done nothing in the second half, even today the Koren goal felt like it was against the run of play (and as a result it should have settled us and helped us take control back with them demoralised at conceding like that).
