@masi 51 why in the holy fuck would we play Erhahon on the left? When we've cissoko and JOT who are regulars on the left wing, Forss can and has played there and Gale is supposed to be pretty much fit and ready to go?

There's pointlessly fucking about with it and whatever the fuck that suggestion is.

Maybe because he is a left footed midfielder......I do not mean play him on the wing ffs

Agree Forss is a better option if he sticks with two wingers

I  would only consider Erhahon if we went three in midfield

We're not going so defensive at home 

Or away

You suggested playing him on the left instead of cissoko which would be on the left wing.

Can't see SS mucking about with successful tactics. The formation will stay the same the only issue would be who plays in each spot.

Nobody said it was certain defeat ya fuckin Cheese wannabe.

If you don't think having a big fuck full end packed with your fans gives that little bit of extra oomph then your mental.

Plus it looks totally shit. You see full ends given at Wigan and Blackburn and it just looks wank.

It makes it harder work for folk in ESL as well. When there's away fans in that bottom corner the barriers go up and it's a walk back the ground.

 

Personally I think our away fans need to do more. 1 win in 7 games is relegation form

You jest but Mylahore are doing some catering for this match

So you think 4/3/3 is defensive.....Happy enough if Schumacher keeps the same system but changes Randall and Sissoko for Forss and Dempsey

I dont like sarcevic or anyone who has played for wigan (and not us). I have no thoughts on bradford one way or the other but i shall hate them on saturday for the duration of the game

Never knew that. Adds a whole new dimension to our attendance discussions. 727 left now.

if you're replacing Cissoko for Erhahon to get there, then yes, most definitely

If SS wants to change formation/personnel because that's his best available team, fine.  But no need for changing anything based on who we're playing.  As with every other home game this season, we're playing a bang average L1 team at home, who will be dodgy at the back when we attack them, lacking pace and not great at finishing.  We are the form team (at home), let them worry about us, don't give them the benefit of changing the style that has worked in the previous 8 (and I include the 2 draws).

When a Yorkshire club turns up with a big following, reminds me of that game (98?) when we smashed Huddersfield 3-0. Todd's teams were hit and miss but that day was a hit. One of the best halves of football from any Bolton side I recall.

I'm looking forward to it as we'll find out more about Schumacher and his team this weekend. Fuck the ghost of Evatt once and for all.

Yes i can see why you would say that, but the defence is looking more solid and i think Bradford may flood the midfield.

Allowing Erhahon to play on the left of midfield would give Conway licence to push forward without the chance that Bradford will get behind us when Conway is upfield......Erhahon simply drops back into Conways space.

Good we have so many options come Saturday

Per Frandsen inspired as I recall....

Bring on the 5,000. The more of their season ticket holders we send home thinking “you know what, we’re not quite at Bolton’s level. Let’s aim for the play offs”, the better.

3-0.

Just don’t start like we did against Port Vale; we need to be on the front foot from the kick off

Aye.

Not too long back folk didn't want Cissoko any where near the team, so in a sense, there is some validity to the idea; if it is to solidify the midfield. 

I wouldn't do it though.

No jesting going on here.

There is going to be an away fanzone on Saturday.

Oh, and an indoor one for home fans for the Mansfield game.
