One of my earliest memories of Burden Park is him getting a bit of grief and my grandad getting all emotional about it. Strange how things stick with you

Is this what we’ve become? Getting upset and on our high horse about something as trivial as this? Some of the shit on twitter reminds me of those people desperate to be offended and upset by anything. The bloke should be gone, long gone, but in the heat of the moment, after all the shit he’s been getting, I can’t honestly say I wouldn’t have done the same.

Most fans I know who have the slightest understanding of Bolton and Evatt himself, can’t understand how he is still in the job.

Absolutely, and given Evatt and Markham’s recent success in the transfer market, I’m not particularly confident in what we’ll replace him with.

For a side that supposedly likes to invite the press to play through, we’re not very fucking good when someone does press us well.

The Leeds was spontaneous. They went in to take the children from the family and it’s gone off straight after. Southport the other night they knew what was coming hours in advance given the posts on social media, giving them time to get more resources on and police officers to have the right kit available like shields and helmets.

Andrew Broome has a lot to answer for!

I think the game it reminded me most of was Barnsley away in the play offs last year, but there are others too where we’ve seen us struggle against this set up. I’m surprised more sides haven’t done this against us this year, but they just let our centre halves have the ball and block off any passes out through marking / positioning, then spring a press on us when it goes forward. It leaves us slow, lethargic and absolutely devoid of any ideas. Evatt implied after the game it was down to the players and their performance, but I feel we’ve seen us struggle so often against that tactic then it goes deeper than that.

I think it’s Dapo marking who very cleverly gets blocked off… it’s a clear obstruction and should be a free kick but rarely get given.

I think that’s the frustration for me. I’ve never been anywhere near thinking Evatt should go and I’m happy to give him this season and beyond. However I hope we don’t rue some of the early selection decisions. There were some obvious wrong selections early on such, as Comley instead of Tutte and Crellin instead of Gilks, that everybody could see apart from the manager.

Shite from Crellin, and Comley clearly not good enough for the role he’s being asked to play by Evatt.

Exactly! There clearly is a plan.... whether he have the players to execute it long term we’re still finding out. The majority of performances have left a lot be desired, but no plan!? 🤣

That offside decision looks worse every time I see it

Another belter from an MP... having a pop at local businesses giving out free meals to kids!
