When the film Titanic came out, was in the pub with some mates Couple come in saying they'd been to watch it, effects brilliant, story great etc Then one woman says "don't tell me what happens at the end, I want to watch it" Quote
SirNat80 Posted February 27 Posted February 27 (edited) Absolutely hats off to you guys for the long trip tomorrow heart says 1-2 but realistically think a draw is more likely. I had to laugh at the report from Kyle Dempsey this week he's obviously the latest to be put in the firing line saying we need to find the answers to winning. His record is 3 goals from 22 games ( 1:7 ) along with Josh 3 goals in 29 games (1:9) and Simons 1 goal in 20 games. Don't start me on the forward line we simply do not have the firepower to get out of this division so we may clinch 6th spot but no better I'm afraid and then it's a complete lottery. I honestly feel it's another year in this shitty league but happy to be persuaded the above is shit and we'll do it because.............?? Edited February 27 by SirNat80 Quote

This is a set-up isn’t it! 😂 You just want some happy clapper like me to tell you we can still get in the top two so you can take the piss and be reassured that your negative outlook is correct. @Tombwfc gives the real perspective. It’s ridiculously unlikely. But not impossible… But there’ll be a few like me on Ifollow tomorrow and a lot more down there who won’t be giving up. Why? - We’re in good form - We create chances - let’s just finish them - We don’t concede many - New signings have the potential to make a key difference - We’re Bolton Wanderers and anything is possible. Of course all that can be countered with some reasonable and sensible negatives, but you wanted to be persuaded otherwise didn’t you? 😂 Quote

It's not much better So goals and assists are the only things that count in a player's performance? It's not football manager or FIFA soccer or whatever it's called these days Dempsey could do all the hard work, lay it off to McAtee who taps it to Dalby who scores The latter two get the credit by the stats you use yet ignore what Dempsey did Quote
gonzo Posted February 27 Posted February 27 There's fuck all wrong with Dempsey. He's Just an 8 and not a 10. Quote
boltonboris Posted February 27 Posted February 27 (edited) Aye people are obsessed with headline stats now. But to be fair, I just don’t really see it with Dempsey. Hard working, fit etc. but lacks quality. Doesn’t really tackle, doesn’t really pass particularly well, doesn’t really press particularly well. He’s just kind of…around.. Corners have been on the money recently though Edited February 27 by boltonboris Quote

Corners have been on the money recently though Only my opinion, but I'd say his tackling is better than any midfielder this season or recent seasons (EE is decent but can be clumsy/give free kicks away), he's got more pace than any other midfielder, he's the only one with a consistent drive to get forward and shoot - what a breath of fresh air in this shot-shy squad. He's the best at heading a ball offensively and defensively in the midfield by some distance, his corners are the best we have, with Christie (not sure why we've only discovered that this season), he shoots with both feet (great left footed finish at Luton, difficult to remember another midfielder scoring with his wrong foot), he can beat a man with skill, he can pass quickly long and short (eg assist for Gale from 30 yards). Brave, great attitude. If he lacks quality, I'm not sure who he's being compared to. As close to an all round midfielder as we'll get in L1. Quote

Don't get me wrong he gives it his all he's just not good enough in that position. Quote

I'm saying judging any player, based solely on goals and assists, which is what you started off with, is a poor way of assessing a player Quote

Scored more than one goal in an away game once all season. If you have a team full of 'well you can't just judge them on goals' types, you end up not scoring enough goals. Quote

Dr Faustus Posted February 28 Posted February 28 God I’m jealous. Have a great day you bastards. Re Demps; pretty sure he’s isn’t #1 in the ‘vital stats’, but he doesn’t stop and he’s up there where it counts. Will throw a good corner in, will score a few, gets stuck in. All rounder Quote
