TOTAL 80?

[freakazoid]

It has become quite clear,disconcertingly so, that we have adopted a penchant for conceding goals less than 10 mins into a game less that 5 mins before that half ,less than 5mins after the start of the 2nd half and/or in the last 10 mins of a game. Why is this? What can be done about this? This habit seems to encompass all age groups in our football, so it begs the question,"what can a coach do about it?". Is it a pattern in our social cloth and as such "cannot" be changed? Does fitness, physical and mental,play a part?
How is this issue addressed?

For Novice teams thats whenGoals are scored and the first 15 after the 1/2. Is not now we have that Probs in giving up late goals. No one back in the days tried to address it and no one is making the effort now.

There is an article I read somewhere that I will post when I find it addressing this issue.
