Didledee Posted March 29 Author Posted March 29 It might be the fact that we've scored 0 goals in 2 games and lost to the bottom of the table but my mind is kinda swaying me into thinking the worst case scenario but with the acceptance of at least the World Cup stuff will be something to look forward to regardless off our ending. Tough games .. 4 home .. 3 away .. 5-6 points gap .. it should be okay .. but we lost to Port Vale 🤢 We don't need to be perfect, we can afford some dropped points and our star player is coming back, so it's not all doom and gloom, but there's zero trust in this lost now.

Not being negative, its just that we can expect wins (or losses) as much as we want and it means nothing, because if anyone thinks they can predict our games, they're either guessing or wearing rose coloured specs.

Farnywhite Posted March 29 Posted March 29 (edited) It’s the last 3 games snd the quality of the sides we have faced that have dinted confidence . But if we go to an inform Plymouth who are back to full strength with no doubt the international 3 rested with playing on Tuesday and duberry still being out and get a win it’s got to be the best result this season so far Edited March 29 by Farnywhite Quote

Whitestar Posted March 30 Posted March 30 In my dream last night we were in a massive end of season game, can't have been the play off final as it wasn't at Wembley, anyway Joel Randall was back and a loose ball fell to him just over the half way line he was in loads of space and it looked as if he was gonna play it backwards but no, his pace was scintillating, knocked it forward into the channels and raced onto it shooting as if all in one movement, keeper was nowhere and we were 1-0 up. The ground had a big open away end🤔🤔🤔?. On 26/03/2026 at 14:30, Stig said: Quote

Marc505 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 I thought Bradford away date/time would have been announced by now, but no, penultimate week's fixtures not announced until this coming weekend. Quote

What kind of an allocation do we get at Bradford? Trying to figure out how much of a fastest finger it’s going to be to get them Quote

They only have to give 3 weeks notice for the last 2 weekends, was 4 weeks before. Quote

Yeah. 20 minutes ago, Eddie said: What kind of an allocation do we get at Bradford? Trying to figure out how much of a fastest finger it’s going to be to get them Cardiff got 2720 and Stockport got 2762 so around that kind of number perhaps. Northampton got an initial allocation of 800 but probably more to do with their usual numbers/position Quote
Ani Posted March 30 Posted March 30 34 minutes ago, Eddie said: What kind of an allocation do we get at Bradford? Trying to figure out how much of a fastest finger it’s going to be to get them Two options, if we get just behind the goal it is just under 1000 I think but nearer 2200 if we also got two blocks in the stand on the Midland Road side. Pretty sure will be higher number. Quote
desperado Posted March 30 Posted March 30 While not dismissing some of the rational talk about the recent disappointing form, which has been amplified because Cardiff opened the door and we didn’t take advantage.…. ..I think there’s been a few occasions this season, where, after a defeat, the overriding emotion has led to some over-reaction and gloomy predictions and outlooks. And some (not all) are doing it again. While we may fall out of the play-offs, lose at Plymouth, struggle in all our remaining games it’s just as likely we’ll do the opposite of that. On the back of some poor away form and losing at Northampton and Burton there was talk of us not winning away all season and nobody giving us a hope against Huddersfield. After losing to Peterborough there was a thread about Schumacher needing to be replaced and no optimism at all about us going on a good run, no foresight about the possibility of new January signings and tactical variations being used to get us back firing. I repeat, I’m not dismissing this poor run and subsequent disappointment which is justified as the top two has slid away. But all I’ve heard these last two weeks is negative viewpoints. About our players, manager, form, statistics, hard run-in and how getting in the play-offs and winning the play-offs will be unachievable. But, as I always like to do, there’s reasons to be positive. We’ve bounced back from adversity before. Without dismissing the draws, it’s one defeat in 14. We’re in 3rd in prime position. With our varied Play-off record of course you can look at failed attempts, but we’ve also won the play-offs before from a similar position. We’ve got our player of the year due back very soon. And of course we’re Bolton Wanderers. Time to shift the narrative, let’s get a win at Plymouth and get some feel-good factor back. This season can still have a great ending. COYFWM 👏 Quote
Tombwfc Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Were people really talking about us not winning away all season before we beat Huddersfield? Quote

desperado Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Something along the lines of “if we can’t beat Northampton or Burton, who are we going to win away against?” I suggested Huddersfield to much ridicule Quote
Ani Posted March 30 Posted March 30 1 hour ago, Tombwfc said: Were people really talking about us not winning away all season before we beat Huddersfield? No people were saying if we do not win at places like Burton and Northampton where can we expect to win away ? The people saying it, including myself, were largely people who went to Burton and Northampton so we’re basing it on the performances not just the results. Quote

I get your viewpoint and I see the point you are making that what I’m suggesting isn’t quite what you and others were saying. It’s good evidence to prove my point though. That just like then, when a win at Huddersfield seemed very unlikely and a positive suggestion didn’t carry much weight, we now find ourselves in a similar situation, where the large swell of fan opinion is, quite justifiably, negative. But there’s always a reasonable, alternative positive view, which in my opinion, shouldn’t be dismissed. And when better to air it, after a few weeks of consistent negativity and 3 days before a big, bank holiday, away game on the Devon coast? Quote
