If you're not privileged to inside the box information, I doubt you'll know, however I doubt Bolton told the players to bomb it to the packs. We know we have players on this list that simply will not run hard enough the other way, combine this will a lack of ability, football smarts and desire - hey presto, we have yesterday's result.
Why (none of this aimed at you spf)? Why do we have such players on our list? Who recruited them? Why have they been retained? Did we perform our due diligence with fitness tests and discover they have problems with O2 deficiencies and lactic acid build up after comparatively short bursts of exercise? Or are they just lazy? No doubt it's a combination of all the factors mentioned above. Take E. Curnow as an example. The guy can run all day but can't kick or handball and has next to no footy 'nouse'. Pathetic on field leadership (Simmo aside) is another massive problem. We have been so inept in so many areas for so long it's embarrassing.
