David Lee, Scott Sellars, Sasa Curcic, Alan Thompson up against Roy Keane, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham on Black Sunday I think that is the silliest midfield I have known a Bolton manager to pick.

Lee (Korean one) Elmo, Muamba and Petrov across the midfield Muamba of course was a great battler and ball winner and we were only playing Stoke so no, i don't think that was as silly as the first selection where no ball winner was picked against Man Utd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the goals from that game recently our midfield were over the half way line with no one holding, our back four were caught on the halfway line pushing up all game the space in behind was ridiculous, no excuse the players mustn’t have been told to sit deep at all, in fact was poor from Man U only scoring 6 given our tactics. On the plus side LH reds had a fair few bloody noses on the paddock, alls well that ends well. 😂 Edited July 17, 2020 by Mounts Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That alone makes it worse. What a prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medo was such a weird one. From the January we signed him right up until we just missed out on the Play Offs, he looked every bit a Premier League player and never seemed to give the ball away. Was absolute dross after that. A complete mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 3 don't come close to Thorpe, Trotter and Murphy in the inept league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trotter would be in our slowest midfielders of the last 20 years. Also the alonso guy we had for a bit not Marco was good on the ball could take a free kick but run like he was towing a caravan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
