Popular Post Lostock Whites Posted January 27 Popular Post Posted January 27 Not going to over analyse the performance now. But will just echo what I said post Leyton Orient. Sam Dalby yet again, comfortably our best player. I make the 4 man of the match performances for me in a row. Even before the goals came today, his hold up play, wins virtually every flick on What's more surprising is his ability on the turn facing goal to play it forwards to our wide players, a very difficult thing to do. He was our first signing of the summer and an injury set him back. But I remember a player at Wrexham, it might have been Elliot Lee who said Dalby was the best player he'd play with in training and how much he enjoyed playing in and around Dalby. We gotta improve but with 10 points from our last 12 with EIGHT matches played in just one month already with another to go, injuries and tough matches. You cannot really complain. Get some bodies in now, a quality number 10 or 2nd striker to play off Dalby and get us firing towards 2nd place. Quote

We have had sides come here park the bus and time waste they didnt Spot on, we've played them twice and they've been as good as any team we've played outside of the top 5 or so, in terms of attacking attitude and playing proper football, in both games. Got some decent players, strong and pacey and don't fanny around at the back either. And no obvious time wasting when the scores were level, nothing like we normally see anyway. Quote

Spot on however thought Dalby looked a bit lethargic first half but once McAtee got closer to him he improved a lot. On the Elliot Lee quote he played in a friendly today against a young Bolton team and I am led to believe we are interested in signing him. Quote

Kane57 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Only criticism of Dalby is that his name doesn't fit that song Quote

Zico Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Dalby doing what he was brought in to do but he has to have a partner up top with him Quote

Wouldn’t say it was lethargy, more everything he was winning didn’t have anyone within 20 yards of him. Once we realised we could play higher up the field second half then we finally had people to play off him, especially once the wingers came on. I’ve posted this a few times over the last week or so but I think there’s certainly a role for McAtee to play alongside him as a cocker spaniel who will just chase everything. Quote
Popular Post Marc505 Posted January 27 Popular Post Posted January 27 15 minutes ago, Tombwfc said: Evatt had the benefit (challenge?) of a low base and a new ownership group in charge. But he also had a promotion and a realistic argument for upwards progression for a few years - the Trafford/Bradley Papa Johns year was a genuinely fun season. Even if you could say we should've been far closer to promotion with £50m worth of talent in the team. As soon as we lost to Oxford that ended and obviously things went sour quickly after that. SS now just has the reality of what it's like managing a L1 club that expects not to be in this division. His treatment is no different to how Parky was viewed and no different to what the managers of Luton and Huddersfield get. Fair points. I've just found some of the stuff I've seen and heard about Schumacher this season a bit harsh and premature is all. I don't want us to become a club that hires and fires once a season or more, I want this to work. Quote

Schuey is right, 9 games in 1 month is bonkers. And we just had the Festive period right before too 😂 No wonder things have been a bit flat as of late. Quote

Pleased for Dalby. Feel he’s been very unfairly judged. Play to his strengths and get some runners behind him and we’ll be a threat. Quote
Kane57 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 (edited) Interesting stat in that tonight we failed to score in the first 45 minutes for the ninth consecutive match Edited January 27 by Kane57 Quote

onefinfrandsen Posted January 27 Posted January 27 1 hour ago, Leyther_Matt said: We can’t keep getting out of jail every week. Can we….?! Dalby outstanding. Again. Feels like an age since we’ve had someone capable of scrapping a goal in the six yard box, and he’s grafted two of them tonight. Still some serious areas of improvement to be made, but we managed to mix it up when we needed to tonight and I think that’s the most encouraging thing from the last few games. Derby went up playing shite last season, it would be nice to win comfortably and have control of games more. Hopefully now that we are on a little run that confidence comes back Quote

I don't want us to become a club that hires and fires once a season or more, I want this to work. Absolutely, although I'm a bit more open to the fact that time doesn't generally equal success in this league. Last season has a part to play too. Regardless of how much SS is truly to blame for it, the reality is that from him getting the job up to the Wigan game our fans had been watching us pick up the points of a midtable League One club for a year. That's probably not helped people take to him. He's done well to steer us away from a full blown crisis though, and hopefully with a couple more in he can start to really turn things around. Quote
boltonboris Posted January 27 Posted January 27 A good 3 points. Delighted for Dalby. A couple of good individual performances but a bit scrappy, which is to be expected. for such a small crowd, there was an awful lot of negativity tonight. Some of our fans are fucking embarrassing. On the back of a decent run and they’re booing from minute one when the ball goes backwards it’s telling that both the Burton manager and Captain commented about our fans in their interviews, about how quickly we turn on our players when they’re forced backwards. felt like belting a few tonight. Wish a few more would stay at home. second time in 4 days someone has had a pop at me for happy that we’ve won in injury time. Apparently it’s embarrassing to celebrate injury time wins Quote
DazBob Posted January 27 Posted January 27 The good: Dalby being a poacher/ sniffer/ man in the right place. EE's battling qualities. Dempsey's runs into the box (just missing a composed finish). Forino a rock in defence. The not so good: Another poor game from Conway. Christie is far too old/unfit to be a wing-back. Morley anonymous in midfield and once again proved him being good at set-pieces is nothing but a myth. AOB: Bonham is a more reassuring presence than TSL ... but makes me nervous with his passing into midfield. Cissoko much better than he has been in previous games. Quote
boltonboris Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Goals aside, Dalby’s front play with exceptional at times tonight. A few chest down and half volleys on the turn into the channels to get the wingers away and really pinned their defenders back in the second half specifically. He could be a real cult hero. Thought McAtee played well tonight too, but the boo boys didn’t like that Quote
bolton va va Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Very similar to Saturday, a hard watch especially 1st half. Dalby MOTM again, not just for his goals but also some very good hold up play & an honourable mention for Cissoko who certainly livened us up. Burton weren't bad & not as agricultural as usual so i'm calling it a good 3 points. Quote

Agree with all that apart from Forino’s header which led to their goal Quote
frank_spencer Posted January 28 Posted January 28 1st half was awful from both sides. Once we scored Burton had more of a go and it opened up at but more. Like a few sides this season once they tried playing football they looked better than the spoilers they'd set out to be. Few winge bags moaning at Gale for not chasing lost causes that Usain Bolt in full flight would've struggled to reach. Quote

After HT (and maybe some words) he was up with him from the off and played more as a second striker ought to. First goal came from it and it helped Dalby to get on top of their defence. If he's prepared to operate in that way (and told to), some good could come of it, for him and the team Quote
