Belated awareness of the significance of the building work along the base of the Noyon Salient, has also been given as a reason for a cautious pursuit deliberately chosen, rather than an inept and failed attempt to intercept the German retirement. In Cavalry Studies: Strategical and Tactical (1907), Haig had described the hasty retreat of a beaten enemy and an organised withdrawal by a formidable force, capable of rapidly returning to the attack, to defeat a disorganised pursuit.
In the case of an organised withdrawal, Haig described a cautious follow up by advanced guards, in front of a main force moving periodically from defensive position to defensive position, always providing a firm base on which the advanced guards could retire. The conduct of the Anglo-French pursuit conformed to this model. General Franchet d'Espérey proposed a hasty offensive to Nivelle, which was rejected in favour of strengthening the main French front on the Aisne.

⇒ノヨン突出部の基地に沿った建築工事の重要性に関する認識が遅くなったのは、ドイツ軍の退去を阻止する不適当で失敗するような試みよりも、慎重に選ばれた用心深い追跡のための理由でもある、とされた。ヘイグは、「騎兵隊研究：戦略的で戦術的な」（1907年）において説明していた。曰く、恐るべき軍力によって敗れた敵の速やかな退却と秩序ある撤退は、迅速に攻撃へと転じて、無秩序な追跡を打ち破ることができるのである、と。

⇒ヘイグの解説では、組織化された撤退に対峙する場合、防御陣地から防御陣地へ周期的に移動する主力軍団のいる前線で、先進防御隊がそれ（撤退）を用心深く追求するなら、その先進防御隊にはいつでも退去できる堅固な基地が提供されるのである、という。英仏軍の追跡方法は、この方式にかなっていた。（ある時）フランシェ・デスペレイ将軍はニヴェーユに対する迅速な攻撃を提案したが、エーンにおけるフランス軍の主要前線の強化を支持するために、それは拒絶された。
