When he signed him, he said he needed to bulk up and get physical

and he hasn't done that. When Roeder was questioned about not playing him as much, he said relatively the same thing

I don't think Roeder wanted him to leave, or didn't like him, he just wanted him to do what was asked of, and he'd fit in with the team once he had

Roeder going isn't what made Lupoli leave, Lupoli stated that Roeder leaving made his mind up to go elsewhere

Now he has, and has started a couple of games, he's not in their team, sometimes webber goes up front instead of him

I can't work out whether Lupoli is quality but the attitude is wrong, or whether he's just not as good many think

One thing I noticed for sure last night (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 4, 13:37:32
- Roeder identified that we were physically a weak team when he arrived (NCFC) - Cart Gap Disco, Mar 4, 13:49:22
  - Lack of strikers been biggest issue. When we had Lita we won games. (n/m) (NCFC) - Snakey, Mar 4, 13:54:29
    - I thought we were in the top half of the table in goals scored though (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 4, 14:18:57
      - The number of goals given away through penalties and mind numbing defensive (NCFC) - Snakey, Mar 4, 14:20:41

      - I like Lupes alot. Dont care if he was lightweight . He could find the net. (n/m) (NCFC) - Snakey, Mar 4, 14:03:29

        Roeder treated him like shit. It was only 65 mins of mind-numbing, (NCFC) - Snakey, Mar 4, 14:06:50
        
        It looked as though he had become a pawn... (NCFC) - Jono, Mar 4, 14:11:05
        
        Then he started the next game (NCFC) - pants, Mar 4, 14:08:56

        and the game after (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Mar 4, 14:38:48
        
        Then why did Roeder sign him then? (NCFC) - Jono, Mar 4, 14:19:17
        
        When he signed him, he said he needed to bulk up and get physical (NCFC) - pants, Mar 4, 14:23:27
        
        Agree on the attitude thing. He did seem a bit of a sulky bugger (n/m) (NCFC) - Cart Gap Disco, Mar 4, 14:32:03
        
        yet Roeder said.. (NCFC) - camcan, Mar 4, 14:43:18
        
        To accommodate Lupoli into our side needed a fit cort to work with him (NCFC) - pants, Mar 4, 14:49:20
        
        oh come on pants (NCFC) - camcan, Mar 4, 15:07:52
        
        yeah, I didn't mean it as it sounded (NCFC) - pants, Mar 4, 15:30:00
        
        Maybe this is the can of worms which Charles refer to ? However, (NCFC) - Snakey, Mar 4, 14:19:13
        
        ooops, you've just opened a can of worms (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 4, 14:08:26

        2 starts in 3 (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 4, 14:05:32
        
        That's why tonight will be interesting (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Mar 4, 14:11:01
        
        I wouldn't expect him to start (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 4, 14:17:47
        
        I see (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Mar 4, 14:19:19
- tackling this season generally has meant red cards and penaltys against us (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 4, 13:40:04
  - that's true (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 4, 13:43:04
