Is anyone else in two minds about this game?

 

Negative side

Something tells Boro will come and do to us what we did to them in november

 

The omens are bad for us. They haven't won away in ages. They haven't scored an away goal in 7 games. Alves hasn't scored in ages and is due one. All these stats remind me of what we were told before the fulham game (they hadn't won away all season and had only scored 3 goals)

 

I really hope i'm wrong its just that whenever a club or player is on a bad run and they play bolton we seem to bring an end to that run.

 

On the positive side

Elmander hasn't scored in ages.

 

Kevin Davies, Matty Taylor and Cahill will hope to prove Capello was wrong not to include them in the 23 man england squad

 

We haven't scored a goal from the centre of midfield all season - that stat has to change sometime, right!?

Only positive thoughts for this one and we will be right

Knowing our luck, Southgate will get potted in the next few days, they will get a new boss in, we will end up getting beat, like when we played Spuds away as Redknapp took over!

If thats a positive im a power ranger

I am not overly worried by Middlesborough game as we have enough winnable games between now and the end of the season, if we cannot get the required points with the run in we have we will not deserve to be in the premier league next August.

Well said, Mounts.

Tho we don't want to give Boro any encouragement nor let them close the gap on us.

Massive must win game. If we beat Boro i think they are down

Massive must win game. If we beat Boro i think they are down

Its not a must win game , its a must not lose game

As Allardyce was fond of saying.

If we can't beat that load of shite at home there's something wrong

seeing as we now always draw with boro at home, that's where I'd put my money

Does this call for a Yatesy cull to get him performing again?

 

The lads effort is there for all to see but a few goals are missing. With our current lack of strength in depth though, if Elmander is fit he has to play.

There's something wrong full stop.

Finish 17th then boot this idiot as far from the Reebok as possible.

Greetings Russell,

2 posts so far: both non-constructively anti-Megson.

 

Anything remotely constructive to add or is it a fleeting visit?

I didnt think it was anti megson, more pro Bolton. Are you happy to put up with more of the same or are you one of these who likes us being in the Prem so you can enjoy watching Wayne Roooney and Steven Gerrard?

 

I prefer to watch us being a little more competitive ourselves rather than rolling over and dying.

Now that has made me chuckle on a monday

So, boot this idiot out wasn't anti-Megson?

Sorry guys, new to here. Didnt realise it was a place where people took great delight in quoting back stuff that was said previously.

 

First and foremost I'm a Bolton fan. That doesnt mean I give unqualified support to anyone who has the title " Bolton Manager " We have had some poor ones, McFarland, Neale wasnt great, McGovern. Megson has had more to spend than anyone in our history, so he is bound to be open to scrutiny.

 

Some of his signings also do him no favours. Elmander and Muamba look like around ?15 mill wasted but every manager makes some duff signings. From a personal point of view, winning 3 games in the NE about 4 months ago and a few hang on victories at the Reebok is not progress. Only my opinion guys, dont crucify me.

If you would of put that at the start nobody would of batted an eyelid.

russ, you are entilted to your view, but i think this thread was trying to be about forgetting peoples views on GM and saying fuck it we are bolton fans lets all get behind the team for the next game.

 

i can say what i want on here everyone likes me and i am always right.

I believe that everybody who turns up at 3 PM having paid to watch is there to support the team, regardless of feelings for Chairman, Manager or individual players.

 

I dont like the type of football we play, the possession we readily concede but after 52 years of paying a fortune for tickets, travel/transport, shirts etc I'm not going to suddenly desert the team.

 

Just one of my pet hates when Managers, players or even so called fans accuse us of not supporting the team. The best thing at the Reebok has been the vocal support during a season of not very entertaining stuff to watch. I sometimes wish the Manager and some players had put as much effort and enthusiasm into the games as the fans. I would have loved to put on the white shirt, nearest I got was the Hospital Cup for those old enough to remember.

That's very true on both counts.
