I was hoping he might be the last of the scapegoats, but it seems like there’s a few more in the firing line! 🤣 Fuck me, Mcatee was being called fit to burn in that first half behind me. Made sure I made my feelings know at 1-3 😁. He then had the gall to say it wasnt me while going on to sing his song

Well what a thoroughly enjoyable day! COYFWM 👏👏
-
Think he’s gone 3-4-1-2 3 Centre backs, 2 WBS next to Matete and Morley, with Randall behind Mcatee and Collins

The only real alternative to bolster the central midfield up is Matete in place of Randall. A month ago I was advocating this as a means of getting us solid, giving protection to the defence and having the focus on a clean sheet. So I’d be more than happy to see this. But my side prediction was more in line with seeing this how SS might approach it; different formation, inverted wingers, 4 proper defenders, one up front with a number 10 play-maker behind. I can see how SS might consider 4-5-1, without Matete, as a compromise which can keep us solid, but also creative and potent up front. If Morley and Sheehan are left exposed in a 5-2-3, then I’d probably agree. But the 2 inverted wide-men next to Morley and Sheehan will also provide more protection in the midfield, so, if he goes with that, I don’t think it has to be considered an approach that gets us shit scared.

Great win for Leigh 0-1 against Wigan! 🤣

It was class And after In the Northern Quarter. As always, you make the most of an away day, win, lose or draw. 👏

…. “Let’s stay and see If we can get back into it (at 3 -0)” 😂. It will go down as one of the most humiliating defeats in my time of watching BWFC. Them fuckers behind me shouting down my ear-hole ”Bolton get battered everywhere we go…” 😡

I suspect it’s one of the criteria which ends up putting them in our bracket of affordability. We’ve had some decent ones that have contributed who previously had poor records; Lee, John, JDB, Dempsey, looks like Tutu and Southwood could be others who fall in that bracket.

Cheers for the response a pretty balanced and realistic perspective. I think having been in this league now for 4 years we know there’s no entitlement to promotion. It very much needs to be earned by prioritising a winning mentality - something we’ve not yet mastered. My squad depth assessment was purely based on what I saw as your back-up on Tuesday which didn’t look up to much. I think a more ruthless and potent strike force would have had that game sown up by 70 mins. Here’s to the 1st March, fingers crossed I get there, to hopefully see us finally put a dent in your promotion charge and add a notch to ours 😊
-
If anybody ends up with 1 extra (obviously a couple or more would be nice) I’ll gladly take it off your hands 😊
-
Well that was a lot of a shit show. Shambles of a system, made even more complicated and unaccessible with that farcical seat map which wouldn’t allow you to select a seat to put in the basket, even though you should have been able to. 😡
-
You really were and very quiet too. Your squad seemingly doesn’t have too much depth to it, think you are going to struggle in the run-in especially with these extra games now, a bit like us 2 seasons ago Think we were 6 short of our best 11, so it will be interesting on the 1st March when we are both full strength. It would be a bit of a travesty if we were to dominate a 3rd game and lose again. That would have been a near on certainty with Evatt, now it could and should be different. But this is Bolton Wanderers so you never quite know 😊

I don’t necessarily feel the experimenting is a restrictive, inhibitive, or negative influence on our play-off chances. On the contrary. The experimentation in parts has been productive. has shown potential or at the very least has been refreshing, adaptable and a breath of fresh air instilling some excitement across the fan base. Even the aspects that are questionable are providing a quick learning curve for SS.

Tough one for SS because both of those statements are true. On Tuesday, watching live, it was noticeable how high Gethin was told to play on the right in his RWB position. Makes me wonder whether we might see him playing. I’d love Schon to come good there. Despite his poor (or should I say less effective) performance last week, he’s had a great season. One of the plus points, in a so far frustrating season. Didn’t deserve some of the more fatalistic assessments, as if he’s not able and will never again be able play anywhere other than LWB.
