Intelligent, composed hold up play and quick accurate passing, generally. Never heard him described as a lump 😆 Bod is a good player but Luton replay and today he was bobbins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Bod, hes a great footballer but Im just struggling to find him an effective role especially when hes more often than not coming on when Charles is off. I just dont get why we have to take both our main forwards off after 60 mins. Vic and Dion are our best pairing by a mile. As soon as that partnership goes off its game on for the opposition. Change one all day, Bod for Vic or whatever but I just get my head around our most clinical striker and spearhead of our whole operation going off after an hour every week along with his best link up man.

ianofcleveleys Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Not a earth shattering point, I know, but tight games like that are won and lost in and around both boxes, we were way off it in both, passing up big chances, gifting them big chances. Evatt had already indicated after news about Forrester that a change of tack in the transfer window would probably be necessary, I'd imagine efforts to bring in a CB are ongoing. Concern for me across the three games has been reflected in Evatt's post match 'we expected to play at our pace and weren't allowed to'. It was all too slow and ponderous in the half hour v Cheltenham, much quicker and better on Tuesday (in a more open cup game), back to expecting to play walking football today. We need to get our heads back into 'start fast score first' mode this Tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn’t helped by being brought on with Jerome. There was a chance today where JDB played a really clever headed pass into Jerome’s path, just on the right of the area - if he had any pace about him (or if it was Dion) then he was clear through on goal and JDB has got a really good assist. As it was, the defender got back as Jerome was running in treacle and it went out for a corner. From the transfer rumours, it sounds like Evatt is on the hunt for a new striker, which assuming he takes the same approach of 2 off 2 on, might just benefit JDB if he gets brought on alongside someone who’s even half competent!

His interview after today was completely different tone to any this season, said he was very disappointed, would of subbed all 11 and told the players to reflect on there performance today, he has already told the board we need reinforcements and it’s reported Ennis and 1 other due to sign next week.

We're just discussing it in the car and said there was little support in the 2nd half, in terms of "Cmon you whites/Bolton" type songs trying to gee em up It sounded great on 'O' TV, first half especially.
