Not only that. His 3 centre backs ship too many goals in

I agree with you. Again his team shipped in an early goal in a big match.In all 6 matches against Derby, Barnsley and Portsmouth this seasin Bolton conceded the first goal.It's too easy to score against Evatt teams, he dorsn't have them organsied to defend as well as a good manager should

The club annonuced sales of 12,000 yesterday and i have renewed since then. I think with Derby's timely dropped points to boost sales in the next 2 days 15,000 would be a good total

They looked too good a side to be relegated against Ipswich the other night.If Rotherham. Plymouth and Huddersfield drop the 3rd Division might not be as strong as predicted next season.

Nah, I think Man City away is such a difficult match Arsenal would take a draw before the game started.I don't think 3rd Division clubs rate Stevenage away as quite so daunting

Evatt had Baxter, Santos, Victor and Charles in his team at Reading earlier in the season but still got beat

It was only boring to some people because Arsenal were set up to defend excellently. i didn't know Arteta had that skill in him. It was a fine achievement to go away from home to the world's most expensive squad in a huge match for them and keep a clean sheet.

I reckon if Harry Kane moved to Scotland for easy titles he'd choose the wrong Glasgow club.

I agree.it is as though a different manager signed all these poor strikers and somebody else organised them defensively to ship in 4 goals to Wigan and Blackpool.

It is correct. Someone ITK will no doubt confirm

It was 6k. Liverpool were given 6k that season for the FA cup tie but didn't sell them all.They brought 5.3k.

It takes you back to Bruce Rioch who needed just the one season to get Bolton out of the 3rd Division.Match number 45 of the season.Top of the league Stoke cIty were gven and sold 6,000 tickets in a 19,000 crowd and Bolton only had one fit striker.Despite the huge away following and only having one striker. Bolton won.

Bolton spend too much time in the 3rd and 4th Division to be considered bigger than Blackburn

ITV +1 lads

I suppose Dempsey is the obvious choce.He could do the running about Charles does.Rioch went for a taller man than Dempsey who could win his fair share of headers and put himself about.Maybe one of the centre backs could do that job.I saw Julian Darby in the queue at Greggs before one of the recent home games, he is still very slim. unlike me who went next door to Carrs for a pasty barmcake

Yes.Bruce Rioch had two very good strikers rather than 5 average ones like Evatt has and it was obviously a problem when Andy Walker's season ended on Easter Monday.Rioch stuck a midfield grafter up front and the team got the job done.It wasn't easy but they were carried along by a hunger to win that this squad sems to lack.

Bruce Rioch had one fit striker for the last 6 games of the 92/93 season.He had to win 5 of the last 6 games to finish 2nd and did exactly that

1983 Bolton v Sheff Weds . Sheff Weds Ian Bailey stretchered off, Bolton fans sing "You're not going to Highbury" in reference to Sheff Weds upcoming Fa Cup semi final at Arsenal.

I would sack this cunt tonight and get a proper, experienced manager in who would put some steel in that midfield and get them working harder.If the midfielders Evatt has signed are softies than a centre half would be put there.The top end of Div 3 is so weak this season i reckon a proper manager would get that squad up.

Fuck off you set of soft bastards

The real problem is Bolton not Barnsley.

1-0 up early doors at Blackpool, they are going to have to show some toughness and defend competently.This guy can't organise a side to do it.Simple as that

2nd place went when they only drew with Barnsley and I said so on the match thread.The dropped points against Northampton and Charlton merely confirms it. I don't think Evatt has put together a strong enough side to win the play offs but not certain on that.I mean if the route to DIv 2 is Stevenage and Peterborough winning that is not out of the question surely.

Charlton's first goal was horrific for a manager picking 3 centre backs

I didn't know that centre backs who couldn't play in a back 4 had become a thing.You learn something every day.
