If we keep pace/gain a few points between now and January, a couple of tweaks and I firmly believe we can push for top 3. It’s a shit league, confidence will get you many points Yeh you're spot on, i've yet to see a decent side in this division and there is so much more to come from us i feel. Onwards and upwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In last 8 days won 2 aways and denied a 3rd win in 93rd minute today. Tiny margins between top and bottom. They only scored in 91st minute though. Still, maybe I’m thinking too much about last time we went there but it will be a tough game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolton va va Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The timing of their goal was a bugger, gave them a lift for the 2nd half after they were looking well beaten & left us looking a bit unsure whether to stick or twist......but overall we deserved our win & i liked the winding down the clock stuff at the end. Gilkes is nice & calm in goal, Jones was good....just a shame he's not left footed !.......Sarce looks like a leader, & Santos easily MOM. Hurrah.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted November 21, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2020 For too many saturdays over the last 3 or 4 years, I’ve felt like shit and wanted football away from my thoughts. Makes so much difference when we win no matter how we play. Still not back in love with the game but a few wins and I’ll grow back into it. We’re Bolton Wanderers, we’re on our way back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farnywhite Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) It’s night and day from were we were last month . Good to watch could of been better in the last 3 rd but what we are doing when we don’t have the ball closing down is the most impressive and will take us forward Edited November 21, 2020 by Farnywhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted November 21, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2020 Andy Tutte must be an arse to play against. Reminds me of Karl Henry - always chipping at the ref as to who’s pushing. Blocking runs off the ball. Good to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughmungus Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Was like watching Brazil, we will piss this league. Evatt should be managing much higher than 3rd Division. Don't like to say it but I told you so ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted him sacked after conceding 5 at orient and refusing to drop the keeper and the team looking a total shambles couldn’t see it changing. But glad we didn’t as long as we look like we’re going the right way which we do now happy to stick with it on the ups and down 🤛. Just no more orient games 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ani Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 We need to reconsider this standing in the penalty area when taking goal kicks. It just invites pressure on. I get he wants to play football but once the keeper is going long it cause a lot more problems than it solves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have 3 looking for the ball, the opposition have 3 looking to press, a quick long ball to out 2 up top while they have 3 up field, if we win the knock down, we can break. All about making the right decisions quickly enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did that a couple of times today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter victor meldrew Posted November 21, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2020 no one can say the second half performance was good enough. great save by gilks , if it had gone in i think my prediction would have happened. long way to go before this team is getting promoted. sorry to piss on some peoples chips.

Dimron Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Good outing today, well done lads. Stevenage seemed well drilled but their individual skills were bobbins. My only disappointment was Darcy didn't get a showing, we don't want him demotivated and thinking why do I bother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m buzzing it’s actually first time for about 10 years where we’ve a system, Santos and Tutte are central to it and both were superb.

Not sure I’d fancy Delaney or Baptiste in L1 and def wouldn’t fancy Gilks but let’s get there first before deciding. More than good enough at L2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
