They made good money on the Colchester game also . People stop watching and paying it’s going to hit the club hard 

I'm not being flippant, but the limited funds gained by i-follow sales should be more than offset by the lack of win bonuses being paid out currently.  If we win a game, the increased sales for the following match may just about cover the extra wages (complete guesswork of course).

Oh yes, we are like revels - yes bloody coffee every time 😡

Sorry but I'm fucked if I can figure out why you just posted that 🤔

I don't eat Revels, but do they make one flavoured with shit?

Let’s see after 10 games where we’re at

no crowds probably the best for evatt at the moment 

I know what you're saying, but if we lose the first 9, nobody will want to give him the 10th game.   So he doesn't have 10 games before he has to get a point or score a goal or look like the better team for half a game.  I don't know how many games he's got, but it isn't 10 and that's not an anti-IE comment, it goes for all 100+ professional managers, nobody gets to lose their first 9 and survive.

If they pay them in bags of quavers instead of money until we win, we'll be reet.

Can't see us losing our first 9 personally but I think he'll get at least 10-20 games considering we spent 200k on bringing him here

Right possession football. 
A few things you need

Every player comfortable on the ball

Every player understands how their teammates like to receive the ball, into space, into feet, which way they can turn.

All players need to be super fit, to press the ball to be constantly on the move. We just aren’t there.

Possession penetrating football takes years to form a DNA. and a blueprint. It took Ajax, Holland, Barca, City years to get there and yeah we aren't them but you can see that’s the foundations IE is trying to lay down.

we lack quality, creativity and a strong mentality 

We need to focus on the basics , be tough to beat, play football when we can, go direct when we need. 
 

I Hope we still get behind IE and the lads because I believe we will come good.

Farnywhite said if people stop paying their £10 for i-follow its going to hit the club hard.  I'm suggesting it wont because we wont have to pay out as much in salaries.  What you lose from one hand you gain in the other. You're entitled to disagree but I'm puzzled why that's so hard to understand 🤨

Agree - players don't look fit enough yet to press at high intensity all game.

It's a shame we've started so poorly but think Evatt will succeed in time.

Getting the ball on the deck, trying to play through the channels, his CV

[victor meldrew]

he managed a part time club, in all 5 games this season we have been outplayed, out passed and out scored.

blind faith , i lost many years ago.

From what ive read, we might make about £15k from i-follow per away match. No idea what we'll get from home, probably less I bet.  Half a million a season maybe. Who knows.

Well said 

[Mantra]

From his comments to the BN it sounds like he's going to change something for next game at least. 

Think Gordon and Comley will make way personally, if not more.

[Rizlar]

His first season at Barrow at xmas they where in the relegation spots end of season play offs give him time 

[roybarker]

Worst Bolton team I have ever seen in 65 years,probably only 3 maybe 4  had any idea

If you can’t see us losing our first 9 then it follows that you CAN see us winning or drawing one of the next 6 games. Pray, tell which one that’d be because I’m buggered if I can see a point if IE insists on this defensive formation with defenders who look like they’ve never played football before.

In your own words, complete guesswork, in fact total bollocks as you have no idea about the finances involved. Not having a pop, just seemed odd.

I'm behind Evatt & know if he can sort it out we will be entertaining to watch but what worries me with playing around at the back is that even the top teams get caught out occasionally with international defenders.... How the hell do we get big donkeys like Santos to do it without conceding bucket loads? I'd prefer us to concentrate on teaching our defence that playing statues in our own box isn't conducive to getting results.
