    Think I saw on Twitter weā€™ve conceded first in 7/9 of our League games and where weā€™ve not conceded first weā€™ve kept a clean sheet.

    Seems to be a recurring problem weā€™re having and seen the finger pointed at both the midfield and defence -Ā calls for Baptiste to come back in for Johnston as well as calls for Lee or Thomason to replace one of our number 8s, probably Sarcevic.

    Despite our habit of grinding out 1-0s last season Evatt has definitely the attributes of a gung ho manager having been the captain under Ian Holloway at Blackpool where the attitude was, if you score one, weā€™ll score two.

    I think another factor is the level of teams weā€™ve played so far has been quite high relative to the division.

    If I was to change anything I think Iā€™d rather us play 4-2-3-1 over the 4-3-3 and have someone helping MJ give solidity to the midfield, because we clearly have enough creativity going forwards. I like George Johnston and he needs game time to continue developing so I wouldnā€™t be in favour of Baptiste starting over him.Ā I think once we start playing some ā€œeasierā€ teams, the 4-3-3 will be perfect but perhaps just been a bit too open so far this season? Having said all that I think a lot of the goals weā€™ve conceded this season have been avoidable and not necessarily a fault of the formation. But we need to start games better and stop conceding first and perhaps a more pragmatic system would help that

    Wrong.

    Are we gonna keep doing this every other season when heā€™s released by his next club?

    Hes not good enough for anything higher than League 2 at absolute best.Ā 

    Too lightweight and not fast enough to deal with being 3 stone and 5ft tall.Ā 

    Sounds like heā€™s a decent lad but if he wasnā€™t from Bolton nobody would be batting an eyelid.Ā 

    He will end up at Chorley.

    sad but true

  3. this WILL happen. its just a matter of time until the existing "authorities" are paid off and an agreement is made.

    unfortunatley the number of daytrippers for the "super clubs" outweighs the real fans. therefore there is FAR more money to be made, even if they do piss off the die hard. so this is not gonna go away.

    yesterday is the end of football as we know it.

    not only is neville opinion totally insignificant. due to the size of this deal, so is the the voice of sky. they are just gutted they will miss out on the broadcasting rights.

    Yoof started his trial at Accy Stanley last week, which was originally supposed to start in January.

    TBF to them they've been doing two zoom calls per week with all the kids to keep them engaged. Very impressed with them.

    aye my lad had been doing the same. and i have to say, the setup (in terms of feedback and how they look after you) has been much better and nobend than at burnley.

    We're in with a squeak of making the play offs irrelevant ... by finishing in the top three. I think we'd need 30 points from our last 14 games to be in with a good chance. Not entirely impossible though.

    call me crazy, but id take my 10year old experiencing a wembley playoff win over 3rd place. even at the risk at non-promotion.

    thats kinda stuff gets in your blood forever.

    Thought I'd come and and say hi, your almost too confident of beating us. We actually have two games in hand over you. Very similar recent form. Considering upto 14 games ago we played shit then suddenly got rid of McCall and now we are as good as anyone.

    Always loved my trips to your old ground, never a dull moment on or off the pitch, we always bring a good following regardless to your place as you know.Ā 

    i am not taking you seriously until you admit wayne jacobs was not MoM
