MancWanderer Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Good game. Always looked like we’d win it but one of those that could have been a frustrating 0-0 Massive gripe though. Never really been one to moan about refs as I get that they have a tough job but fuck me all I would ever ask is consistency. No way is the yellow card count a reflection of the game. Just baffled me with how card happy he was with us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Although he's really begun to shine since we changed the shape of our midfield three, allowing him to play deeper If memory serves, it was his performances in that role for Newport County that got him attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to need a bit of protection though as season rolls on and he's targeted for the ale house stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him deep, Maghoma or Gomes to bring the ball forward and take shots and Thomason or Dempsey to kick the shit out of everybody, that's the template folks!

Wanderlust Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 TBH I didn't think there was that much between the teams overall. They had enough presentable chances to score a few goals and we had roughly the same number ourselves, George's sweet strike being the difference. First half in particular their midfield won everything - headers, second balls, tackles - the lot according to the HT stats - and I think it unsettled us as we started giving the ball away cheaply, but we rode it out and played a bit better second half. They're tough games the against the better teams in this league, and I'm am chuffed to bits we came out on the right side of it, although I'm still a bit miffed about the ridiculous and one-sided bookings which may yet bite us in the bum later in the season. Ref was an arsehole. Bit of a negativity meltdown on the Blackpool site and a few venting about Critchley but they've got plenty to build on and maybe if they give their manager time to develop his squad as we have done, they could be a force again.

Leyther_Matt Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Sat in a mad as fuck club in Edinburgh that the cenotaph defenders wouldn’t approve. Had the full match report from the wife, but this place is always better. Chuffed for Gonch. Up the fucking Whites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's such a pleasure to watch. Hairs up on the back of the neck stuff. Another key victory. Had a discussion with extended family in the south of Spain recently and a jibe was directed at me (by one of the flatdicks) along the lines of "you seem to love Bolton Wanderers more than your family". My response was "BWFC is my family. I loved it way before I even knew most of you" Onwards and upwards. KTF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I'm sure there was some guy on here said Thomason wasn't a footballer & never would be. He later revised that to him maybe being a squad player, just, & getting half a dozen games a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Evatt was booked for losing his rag over the inconsistent decisions. Hope he asks the efl to have a look at this but know they won't do a thing. Bloody loved that win, be a bit smug in work tomorrow 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Er, you’re back on a Bolton forum now. No need for the patronising stuff about how good our opponents were. No shots on target says they weren’t that great. OK, they hit the post but didn’t we as well? Oh, and for the record, at half time we bossed the possession stats 61% to 39% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a lunatic with a knife who served time and left a family grieving. Fwiw no one served time for the murder. The case against the suspect was dropped due to lack of evidence. I went to school with the suspect, he certainly wasn’t a lunatic and he wouldn’t talk about the incident - ever. Such a tragic loss of a young life.
