You’re in the wrong place pal.🤣 You have to nail your colours to the mast as to whether something or somebody is shit/gone/outdated/needs to never be seen again or the polar opposite. Whatever you do don’t edge your bets

Dates are wrong Cambridge win was March 24. Ipswich one was 2022 away. 👍

Don’t remind me 😂

I thought the post season might not be so argumentative with folk writing off influential players so adamantly forgetting anything positive they have ever done 😂

Opinions, like arseholes, we’ve all got them. I still think he has a role to play. Not quite sure where Romantic specs and Evatt free come from in the same sentence re my opinion. Anyway, let’s see where SS goes on this one, I’ll back him either way.

After someone posted they couldn’t remember 1 game where he was influential, it was just a simple reminder that there have been some. That’s all It wasn’t intended to be a critique, a substantive and comprehensive narrative, a piece that you could only write about Sheehan and no one else or a strong case as to why he has to stay. Just some examples of influential games he’s had when somebody couldn’t remember one 😊 Would I complain if he moved on? No not complain, it’s not my way. I’d trust SS to make the best decisions for next season. Slightly disappointed because I feel him and Morley with an experienced and influential leader alongside them, with a bit of pace and physicality around them and not a bunch of clones, would be a strong L1 midfield.

1. Bolton 2–1 Port Vale (February 2023) Sheehan marked his return from a long-term injury with a brilliant 20-yard goal to help Bolton earn all three points at home. 2. Bolton 1–0 Shrewsbury Town (April 2023) Scored a superb 25-yard strike in a vital win that pushed Bolton into the playoff places late in the season. 3.

Bolton 5–0 Oxford United (March 2024) Sheehan capped a complete team performance with a stunning long-range goal into the bottom corner. 7. Bolton 4–3 Crawley Town (February 2025) Scored the equaliser in the 85th minute during a thrilling comeback, before Bolton won it with a 99th-minute own goal. 8. Burton Albion 1–2 Bolton (March 2025) Netted a spectacular 30-yard winner – Bolton’s first-ever victory at the Pirelli Stadium – and pushed them into the play-off zone. 9.

Bolton 2–0 Cambridge United (December 2024) Pulled the strings throughout, showcasing leadership and creativity in a routine home win.

Great for the game that Palace goal 👏

Like you, I enjoy conversations like this. No right or wrong. I think both, Hunt and Bradley, are worthy contenders. I’m probably siding just with Bradley over Hunt. I think Hunt was very much a beneficiary of the players around him, the system and a manager getting the best out of him. Still nevertheless a vital cog in the machine and an iconic home grown talent, still quite rightly lauded today. I think you put Bradley in that top 8 team we had, he’s not doing any worse than Hunt. And probably has qualities above and beyond Hunt. Going against the WWs form and not overly extreme on the positives/negatives of any of them. I think it’s great there’s so many options and variations of a world class Bolton 11. I bet it’s up there smashing most aside 👏

Your Youri claim is now making me think you are right. So is this another AI claim we can’t trust “Yes, Vincent Candela did sign permanently for Bolton after his initial loan deal. He initially joined Bolton on a short-term contract and then signed a five-month contract. Following his initial contract, he unexpectedly signed permanently with the club in the following summer”

As did Dawson and Candela In your team (after their loan deals like the above) Not sure what the rules are in this game 🤣

“Yes, Youri Djorkaeff did initially join Bolton Wanderers on a loan deal before making the move permanent. He joined on loan from Inter Milan in February 2002. The loan deal was until the end of the season, and then he became a permanent player for Bolton”

Well if them are the rules. Get Laville at CB Push Hierro with Campo into Mid And let’s get Alf and Djorkaeff up front. Not far off being a world class Bolton 11

Every player mentioned in this debate is a great, whether it’s a BWFC great or a great who played for BWFC. All valid and should be celebrated. Not sure how it ends up into a WanderersWays nail your colours to the mast, you’re wrong, I’m right, he’s amazing, he was shite. Not quite sure how we get to the truth being Hierro was shite 🤣

Plenty of Bolton there, 6 on Stars team, 5 on Blackpool team, 6 if you include Jules Darby 😂
