Leyther_Matt Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Adeboyejo did quite a lot of the hard bits but maybe took a touch too many at times and tbf he didn’t really have great service at times. He’ll grow in to it as everyone gets used to each other. Can’t be easy with so many new players coming in. Echo about their ‘keeper. Two or three real top drawer saves. Can’t be many who get applauded by opposition fans when retrieving the ball for a goal kick. although such humility is easy at 3-0 up 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlust Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Still can't get my head round this. All back 5 score, Santos scores again - but with an actual header from a corner. This isn't the team we were watching first half of the season is it? Who are these people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomRepWanderer Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Think Adeboyejo just needs to be coached into the Evatt way, had to be a hold up player in a direct team, but still shows some quality with his intelligent off the ball running, for what it's worth though I'd go with Jerome on Saturday against a rough house, shithousing team like Wycombe, and I thought Isgrove and Kachunga looked good in their cameos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanu Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 We probably scored the same amount of set piece goals in this one match than we have in the entire 2 & half seasons Evatt's been here. DJ's whipped in some incredible balls on the night & our back three look big/powerful/dominant/intimidating you name it. Victor so unlucky to not get a headed goal too but for an incredible save to be fair to their keeper! MOTM is probably the hardest of the season but I'd say Dempsey personally he's a little jack in the box of a midfielder to watch the amount of times he's gone past players tonight just by simply letting the ball run across his body to open the space to drive into. Shola is just simply a step ahead on the pitch, he knows what he wants to do ages before hand whilst actually having the ability to pull off the stuff he wants to do. Mbete couldn't have made a better impression starts in back to back 5-0's with a goal & two clean sheets? On the eye too the lad can play & is a proper defender too he looks like he loves throwing himself into a block. Jack Tucker chose MK for us mainly due to location but thank fuck for that! Eoin Toal is x5 the player whilst being cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanu Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Victor deffo suits our high press, works his bollocks off which is expected for an Evatt signing. Where people criticise Dion in terms of him taking too many touches to release the ball whether it's getting a shot off or playing somebody in I think the same can be thrown at Vic in what we've seen of him. He doesn't seem balanced & set when it's time to do something so then takes too long on the ball which makes him have to battle the defenders who are able to get back in. He would have scored a bullet header if it weren't for a wonder save & also positioned him well in the six yard box for one or two pull backs but unfortunately couldn't get onto them although one went through to Geth which lead to the third goal anyway. Like any striker at a new club getting off the mark will deffo be playing on his mind which probably leads to trying too hard & overthinking how it's going to come about add to him being our most expensive signing in 9 years!

kent_white Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Just watching the highlights, and Williams shows some great skill for his goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted February 15, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2023 Quality performance from front to back, granted assisted by some shambolic defending but take nothing away, this is a very good Bolton team. Morley has been excellent since getting back in the team and running midfields. Dempsey superb again, Shola great skill - if only the breakaway had come off with a touch through to Charles. The back 5 though - won everything in the air, pace to burn and wanting to keep clean sheets no matter what the score. This team is coming of age. Need to keep as much of it together as we can in summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted February 15, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2023 Did Mbete play in the papa johns at all this season? Either way, think I’d keep Bradley fresh for Wednesday night - bench him Saturday but give him 25 mins in the 2nd half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radcliffe white Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Hard one with Bradley/Jones both got different qualities but for me I keep with Jones but nice option for evatt to have I think he may make a few changes for the cup game however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early days obvs, but his first touch is heavy, so his 2nd touch is often a tackle. He doesn’t seem particularly quick on the ground and he isn’t that strong in the air - but apart from all that he looks alreet 😀 In IE we trust and i’m sure he’ll come good given time. He’s perhaps a bit over anxious to make a good impression and trying that bit too hard to do the simple stuff. Be reet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
