I was stood with him and we were discussing the merits of the 3 lads across the back, very strong in the air and more than competent on the floor, worked well for each other, they will take some beating this coming season. For me Politic was the best player on the park, wearing the armband he led by example, non stop working and encouraging everyone around him, seems to me a natural leader. Colls played their part and were unlucky/poor finishing/hit the bar and could have scored a couple, a decent game played in the right spirit. We were gutted to have to play a potential money spinner behind closed doors but that is what was asked of us so we complied, BWFC have hinted at another game once both of our seasons are underway, it will be a night match and I would imagine feature those on the fringe of the first team, we'll see. From all of us at Colls the very best wishes for BWFC this season (90% of Colls fans are Bolton fans) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If hes fit, he'll be class to have around. If his wages were 'eye watering' last time then he should have made his money so a cheap deal could work for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we came to an arrangement with Macron, something along the lines of we aren't paying you 25p in the £ for what we owe but moving forward, we'll cover our Bill's and go halves on profits for next 3 years etc Edited August 1, 2020 by Biggish Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t help deadly doug playing him right back, then left back. Hed signed thinking he was gonna he centre half as well. Yeovil was a particular highlight. Still he was ace at Blackpool and been in and out of championship teams after us. Hopefully he’s calmed down off the pitch too. Got to trust Evo.

Especially without this season's big hitters WBA, Leeds and maybe Fulham to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old head, played at a much higher level etc. His mind will be sharper than most of this division. Whenever I see Baptiste in a line up I see "penalty to the opposition". One of the clumsiest defenders I've seen play for us, after Knight. Can only have got slower in the last 6 years and completely goes against everyone saying we need youngish hungry players. If we'd signed Wheater or Hobbs everyone would say they're too old or injury prone etc but they are better defenders, better leaders, more likely to score and been less injured in the last year. But I do trust Evatt to get the best players in that he can get within budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Aye but this fella played over 150 games next to Evatt in the championship and prem. Evo will want an old, trusted head in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
