RE: [LU] bits 'n' bobs

He is picking the same players home and away so how does that mean its his fault they freeze at home but do ok away?   He has also bemoaned the size of his squad, and we have a fair few injuries and suspensions floating about at the moment – again, I cant see how that’s his fault?   And shipping goals late on is probably due to conditioning, or lack thereof – something you could say is the fault of the management (specifically the fitness coaches), but hardly a terminal fault is it.. and by its very definition likely to improve considerably as the season starts.  Sticking my neck out here, I would say we are much less likely to concede those late goals now.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 August 2006 15:05 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; leedslist@list.zetnet.co.uk Subject: Re: [LU] bits 'n' bobs   In a message dated 8/25/2006 9:35:33 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The performances haven't been great at home either, but my point is that this is more down to the players than to any deficiency in our management or coaching. Like to pick a hole in that? Sure, the players are the ones selected by the manager. He's been bleating for the last two seasons that he didn't have "his" team. Now he does. And they're shipping late goals like nobody's business. The buck has to ultimately stop with the manager.   Cheers!   Sean
