Surely there job is to get the best result for the club.

If they feel different shape or personnel are required for that, then so be it.

Fuck any soppy cunts that get upset by it- it's not as if they're ripping up trees!

I wonder if quietly, Darby might fancy a go?

I’m almost certain he doesn’t. And even if he did, he’s not getting it. If he had any ambition in that regard he’d have long since moved on beyond the u18’s here or elsewhere.

Well done Jules , always liked him as a player . Comes across as a true wanderer , concluded interview by implying we may have some surprises to Huddersfield.

I remember seeing him after the Oxford  match at Wembley, wearing his football shirt from his era at Burnden , walking away from the ground a few minutes after the final whistle...no corporate rubbish for Jules ..a man of the people I'd say 

[Rival Son]

Watching that interview, I hope Derby, Taylor and Tutte, treat this match as a free hit. Go after them, tell the players to relax and enjoy themselves. Attack Huddersfield with first time passes and shots. Tell them no one is measuring possession and pass completion rates.

Just have fun and put on a performance.

Watched an old clip of some Bolton goals the other day and I swear I saw a young Julian Darby as ball boy behind the goal.

Surprised nobody has ever mentioned it.

Yeah you probably would have seen him. Same with Jimmy Philips

Ballboy, player, academy coach/manager, interim manager

Bolton through and through and both got loads of stick as players

Yeah. Speaks perfect sense, and says everything we're all thinking. No jargon or hype. Hope he gets a win under his belt before the new man comes in.

Nice little interview. Relaxed, cheery, no guff.

Easier situation for him though.

Has his accent been altered by moving around the country?

At times, it seemed a strong local accent, then others, much less so!

And mark up at corners?   

I have a feeling it will be exactly the same defensive tactics as under IE because its the easiest/quickest option with 2 days to prepare, I'd love to be wrong.

But Jules comes across well, if not a natural talker.  But the natural talkers often spout a lot of gibberish, and he just says what needs to be said.  Good luck to him, genuinely hope its a positive experience for him even if we lose.

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Perhaps a bit nervous or wary initially, but soon relaxed.

Spoke well enough afterwards. 

If we were to win, he and the others would be god-like for a day or two.

Some folk were pretty shitty with him before he left to Cov (not me I'm happy to say)

He has now played every outfield position for us and is now the Manager... he should put himself down as reserve goalie on Saturday and come on at the 90th minute 😁

I always liked Jules & it's a good interview. Good luck to him. 

Huddersfield away is a different test to Charlton at home & i'd change it a bit by stiffening the midfield & starting both Thomasson & Matete.

I've got a blurred memory of Jules scoring at Birmingham with a header from about 40 yards out.

Not quite as daft as it sounds, the way i remember it, the keeper rushed out but Jules got there first with his head & it rolled into the net......but nobody else seems to remember it.  I did drink a bit then !!!

No brainer for me that.

Not heard anything about Matete getting a retrospective punishment neither.

I went to school with his elder brother.

Wonder if we have a keeper on the bench.

Weather looks too dangerous to drive over Penines on Saturday, might be better to send your tickets to someone who lives over this side.

That was the game when after the game the Zulus came over the grass round the back and charged at the Bolton fans.

What are the odds on it being too dangerous, can you lay against it, and who do you think will give you the tickets?

It is almost definitely going to be too dangerous, heard the M62 is going to be shut.

Assume Cheese will help me out.

Just looking at the table for the first time in weeks.

I expect Huddersfield to get promoted with Birmingham. Crazy that if we’d won our last two home games, which we should have done, we’d be going there full of confidence and with a chance of getting within 2 points of them. 

Obviously it didn’t happen, but shows how close we’ve managed to be without a single noteworthy performance all season. 

Bring back Evatt

We're saving it for Saturday.
