barrycowdrill Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Have to say I’m beginning to fall in love with this group of players before Xmas I would’ve happily shot every one of them. Not only for their performances but it just felt like they didn’t care. The last 10 years we’ve had countless players tip up here take their money and fuck off at the first opportunity of things not going the way they expected. I thought we were in for the same again. yes wins breed confidence and togetherness but the Willingness to work their bollocks off, Chuck themselves in front of everything and the support from the back room staff and players not in the squad has made me feel proud of the team again for the first time in years! they’re not the most talented players we’ve ever had but they’re putting pride back in to the badge. That’s all’s I can ask for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 The picture posted by Burnden sums it all up for me... All going in the same direction. That's why the naysayers get jumped on, the vast majority of us are 100% onboard now. It's been a long time to turn it around with a few false dawns but we're seeing the real deal this time. COYW...

Youri McAnespie Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Well, I say that now... When we're back in I'll be tutting and groaning and 'fucks saking' and 'gerrit it'box' with the best of them. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 It is strange how the doom and gloom brigade have gone quiet. In the last week the club has dealt with the Maddison situation with great sensitivity and class. Today there is loads of stuff on social media about what the club is doing in the community and oh by the way we won a couple of games with a fully committed squad of players throwing themselves about. A lot of this you could argue is what a football club should be doing but after years of going from one cock up to the next it feels brilliant to see this and for so many of us to know we have stuck by the club and are now getting some reward. For the first time in a long time it is very easy to be a proud fan of Bolton Wanderers and of what we are doing on and off the pitch.

Bolton sold 20,000 season tickets for the 2003/04 season. Half that number won't be buying 3rd tier season tickets so let's not get carried away that the vast majority of fans are back onboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is pretty extraordinary if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted we’ve brought in a lot of new players since then, but even the ones who have been with us all the way through are unrecognisable from the first half of the season.

Whitesince63 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 4 hours ago, CambridgeBWFC said: He has but it is his movement and reading of the game that means he keeps getting in those positions in the first place which is a good thing, just needs to keep practicing in training. We are clearly starting to create more clear cut chances in and around the box, which was a criticism from some a while back, now it is just finishing them off which is stopping us running away with games. I think it will come before the season is done. The next piece is then set pieces which are woeful, but probably too big a change for this season,so as someone else said carry on for now. But I would like to see a marked improvement next season, this may need to come from recruitment though. Must say Isgrove over the last few weeks has really grown on me, he isn't the best but he is a battler and gives his all and never seems to give up, adding a couple of crucial goals as well recently. I think we just have to accept that we don’t have a real cutting edge Cambridge. Doyle missed 5 good chances last night and two against Newport, only beaten by Lee’s three missed sitters. As you say, we are a work in progress and if we do go up as I expect, there will be much for IE to work on during the summer. For me Doyle is very much a L2 striker and no more. Can you imagine how many Super John and Andy Walker would have potted in this team? despite the lack of goals, you can’t criticise the teams work rate and even though zdoyle didn’t score last night, he still put a shift in. Lee, if you look at his career history, has never been a big goal scorer yet along with MJ has totally transformed midfield and look at the goals the two of them have prevented. So I’ve given up on us thrashing anyone this year, if it has to be one nils in the remaining games, I’m fine with that as long as we’re in that top 3 at the end.

I praise IE for that because not only has he brought in good players whilst developing others,he’s got everyone singing off the same hymn sheet. The only question now in my mind about going up is, can we do it as Champions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
