One of the 3 forwards in the bench should've come on They wouldnt have scored either Theyre fragile Not tactics, just shit scared Absolutely no confidence

We concede so many goals from crosses. We have conceded 41 goals. Most In the top 15. It's embarrassing for a team with promotion ambitions. I think short term we should be looking to go to a back 4. Just to be more solid.
January 24, 20251 yr What's the latest on Toal and for that matter Santos and Forino? Between the three of them, we might cut out a few crosses

Not sure which defensive minded midfielder could go in there or which wing backs we could use. We need Santos or Toal playing as the team midweek was shortly short of height. 51 minutes ago, Arrested development said: Like vampires, shit scared of crosses.

Just to be more solid. Second answers first for me. Firstly, if we struggle with crosses, then try to stop so many coming in. This tends to happen because teams get behind our wingbacks. Two fullbacks then please. If we're struggling for more combative midfielders then either consider SSA in there or pack it as best as possible. Wouldn't be averse to Desmond and Schon playing in wide roles making a midfield 5. Help to prevent crosses when out of possession, just by numbers, and similarly attack down the flanks too. Both have shown abilities going forward, and you'd assume we'd be mostly counterattacking, so a touch of pace from Desmond wouldn't go amiss. Cut some balls back for arriving support.

The players, along with the interim management have got as big a free hit as they could wish for. However scrutiny will very quickly shift to these players, above and beyond the management. Evatt has taken the large share of criticism and abuse. After defeats it’s him who’s been getting the serious flack. Maybe not today, unless we take a tanking, but in future games, if there’s a poor performance, it will be the turn of these players to cop the blame and the wrath of the fans. Short sock wankers, soft cunts, overpaid shithouses A dreary thought on a morning of excitement 😂 Let’s hope not. That’s only happening if these surrenders keep raising their head…. and that’s not going to happen anymore is it… 😊

A unified away end. A great backing and atmosphere. A support, which when it gets in full swing, is as good as any in the world. A new beginning. The shackles of the dark cloud lifting. A free hit, with no over expectation. A chance to back a Bolton old boy in the dugout. But this isn’t (or shouldn’t be) Rotherham 2019. We’ve got a chance today. This is a squad that’s got promotion potential. And when you throw that into the mix, I’ve got goosebumps thinking about THAT goal, or THAT win today. Promotion songs aplenty, and a real belief that BOLTON ARE BACK, BOLTON ARE BACK woah oh woah oh 😁👏 COYFWM
January 25, 20251 yr Expecting nowt but intend to sing myself hoarse today. At the back of my mind is that little voice "Just imagine the scenes if we get a last minute winner!"

At the back of my mind is that little voice "Just imagine the scenes if we get a last minute winner!" Exactly the intangible benefit that making the decision has. Suddenly you’ve got 2,000+ fans in an away end with genuine belief - that can only be beneficial to the players and therefore our chances. With Evatt’s big game record, there was zero chance we were winning this game - now there’s an actual credible chance that we could.
January 25, 20251 yr We've looked dangerous on the break on the rare occasions we've actually been able to run at teams Today might just be the perfect opportunity to not worry about dominating possession and just try and hit them on the counter COYW
January 25, 20251 yr Popular Post Just setting off. Been going 57 years and feel like a kid waiting for Xmas this morning. Not expecting a win but just hope the players don’t let us and Jules down.
