A BBM bollocking for all?

Certainly an odd one! I can only hazard a guess that BBM wanted his whole squad to hear his half-time talk?
Whatever he said, appeared to have an effect, as the highlights I saw (I missed the game) seemed to show the XI on the field bucked up a lot after half-time?
Quick question: was Bagan going on for Kpakio at half-time simply a tactical one or an injury?
If the former, how did Kpakio do?

He got booked early on & was walking a tightrope (badly) for most of the rest of the first half so that probably has something to do with it but he was also getting beaten quite a lot.
