I think part of it was that Catalan played at a high tempo for the first 15 minutes, which they couldn't sustain allowing us to take control later in the game.

Not sure it's TM having a full say in the HT team talk.
I have a feeling the old stagers ie; danny orr and foz might be saying one or two words as well.

Reading and listening to reports and after match discussions, I think the whole team are involved, not just the old stagers, listening to TM's after match speech the whole team felt it wasn't doing what it should have been doing.

agreed, but thats exactly why TM brought these players in to guide the young 'uns through the game, dont you love it when a plan comes together

TM was slated last year when performances weren't up to par in the second half, as if he was telling them to go out and play terrible.

This year when second half performances are better, it's the players that are giving the Team Talk...
