Big_John_10 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 So given the fact you have said the squad Lambert inherited was poor and that Lerner's decision making is to blame for that. Are you still going to argue that our poor defensive record and home record has nothing to do with the owner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 We've already been through this in the Randy Lerner thread. I didn't dodge anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 So Lerner is to blame for the squad being poor but that had absolutely no link to us having a poor defence? How does that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Yes Good start. So given the fact you have said the squad Lambert inherited was poor and that Lerner's decision making is to blame for that. Are you still going to argue that our poor defensive record and home record has nothing to do with the owner? So are we to congratulate Mr Bendall for creating such a miserly Defence at Williams, Evans, McNaught & Swain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Its so frustrating. Why can't people understand that a number of factors can contribute to bad things. Not just one person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha You're the one who in the other thread blamed the defence soley on Lambert. I was the one saying it was more than one. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 But he isn't solely to blame for the defence. The actual players have to take some of the responsibility too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) There must, MUST be a reason (or reasons) why we seem to start games so poorly. It's been going on for so long now that I've come to expect it. I'd be interested to hear Lambert's thoughts on this and what is being done to address it.

Kwan Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) We'll be okay guys. Take it easy. If Andi had squared it to Gabby or Gabby made a reasonable effort on goal or Luna shot instead of passed, it would be a different game. We're still creating more chances Eventually our chances will convert. Don't lose your head yet. Edited September 15, 2013 by Kwan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
