  1. QPR's plan for the January transfer window was to buy their way to safety, ours was to sell our best player.
  2. We did and he was sacked because the likes of Shittu, Knight and Taylor who cost ?10 million between them didn't get good enough results.
  3. Doesn't that mean you think Sturridge was a good signing? And you don't rate Petrov, Wilshire, Ream , Wheater or Reo-Coker?
  4. Disagree.I think if everyone was fit our team is better now than when Gary Megson was sacked despite the one now being cheaper. The midfield was terrible then. Petrov,Holden,Reo-Coker,Lee is better than most in the Premier League.All of them cheap signings.
  5. Not enough to give it the same effort they did in the Fa Cup semi final.And when they aren't giving it 100% that opens the door for us. Sunderland have too much pace and quality for us to get anything against them even at them giving 80% effort, not so Stoke.
  6. That's all about cash of course.There's no way Mark Hughes, Roy Hodgson or Martin Jol would accept a job at Bolton with the budget Eddie Davies has given Owen Coyle. "Here's ?7 million Mark, replace Holden, Lee, Elmander, Sturridge, Al Habsi, Taylor and and cut the wage bill" "Goodbye Eddie"
  7. I don't think there's any chance of winning at Villa.Villa have hard matches before then and will need to beat us to confirm safety.Their attacking players are in a different class to ours and will get the 3 points like they did at the Reebok.Sunderland would have to be out on the razz the night before to not beat us, that's a write off. Stoke is the winnable one.They'll have nothing to play for and couldn't be arsed at home to Wigan on the last day of last season
  8. Because Fulham don't have the tradition or support of most Premier League clubs I don't think it's sunk in with some Bolton fans they are richer and can afford better players than we can.
  9. Why is that? Fulham have better players than Bolton in nearly all if not every position.If Fulham play well as they as did on Saturday they will beat all the teams at the bottom, not just Bolton. Bolton can only beat the likes of Fulham and Newcastle if the opposition don't give it 100%.
  10. You are deluded. Ngog, Mark Davies and Pratley are Championship players who wouldn't get offered a contract at Fulham.And Fulham are just run of the mill mid table fodder.Those 3 aren't good enough for this league but have to play because they are better than the rest Coyle can use.
  11. Bolton weren't in the bottom 3 after 28 games when Muamba collapsed JSL..
  12. Managed 9 clubs and not promoted at 8 of them?
  13. The problem with having a midfield and strike force half made up with Championship players....if they don't work harder than the opposition they'll be outclassed by mid table Premier League teams. We've still got enough winnable matches left but we'll only win them with more workrate than we got today.
  14. Well done to Owen for overcoming the terrible injuries and smaller budget to beat QPR, Blackburn and Wolves in the crucial relegation battles. I didn't know until reading the match report that Wolves paid ?7 million for Roger Johnson.That's Owen's budget for the back four and midfield!
  15. I hope QPR and Wigan are just as solid and well organised when they play Man Utd next week......and both lose 2-0.
  16. You must be a glass half empty kinda guy. A club that has won its last 3 league games really does have a chance of winning 3 and drawing 2 of its next 8
  17. They say the second half is the managers half. It's not our problem but it's amazing that Wolves have let Terry Connor get them relegated.They have more talent in their midfield and definitely attack than Bolton imo.
  18. Moving Taylor on for over ?2 million was a great bit of business by OC.
  19. I think some of our fans may have grown up already.I haven't seen the word "munichs" posted once since Saturday night.
  20. Similar reasons as why the Villa match has been postponed I expect.
  21. Bolton finshed 6th under Sam Allardyce without a striker who could finish, all they had was Kevin Davies. They finished 6th because they had a very strong midfield.It was much cheaper to sign top quality midfield players.Canny one that Sam.
  22. I'd rest the first team for next weeks bigger games against Villa and Blackburn and give the likes of Knight, Muamba and Tuncay a chance to show what they can't do. We'll lose whichever team is selected.
  23. It's a waste of time trying to buy a Premier League striker with only the ?4 million he had to buy Ngog or only the ?3 million he had to sign Sordell so he may as well sign wingers.It's cheaper to sign wingers who may be good enough for the division.
  24. That's a refreshing attitude.I wish some of the moaners on here would go to the Reebok determined to enjoy themselves come what may.
  25. If that article isn't conclusive what would you want Gartside to say to convince you?
