Have we scored from hoofing the ball (direct ball) this season?

 

Why are there so many experts on Bolton's 'direct' approach? Do they seriously watch us week in week out to come to this conclusion?

More set pieces than 'direct'.

I think a small percentage of the media actually watch us and when they do it's when we are playing crap. If they throw enough shit then some sticks.

 

Under Coyle, we could play total football for the next three seasons. The one game we play a long ball it will be, "same old Bolton, playing direct long ball.".

Yes, the tactic is, hoof the ball to SKD who will go down under the pressure of having to give the oponent's centre back a piggy back. This tactic usually results in the ref deciding that Davies has fouled the person on his head but occasionally we get a free kick which Matty taylor often puts in the net. Simples!

What is this TOTAL football. Is it played to the same rules as common or garden football?

I know there's been a fair few, but surely theres some credit for link up play we've done.

Not often enough.

 

A disappointing first half of the season from Taylor.

anybody, fans or media, who believe the football was the same under megson as it was under sam is on a different fuckin planet.

 

but the fact of the matter is, we are still far more 'dangerous' from set pieces than we are from open play.

 

and it WILL be the same under coyle for at least 12 months imo.

Newcastle,West Ham,Forest,Watford,Boro,Leeds to name a few all played pretty stuff, what they all got in common?.............

As I've said many time, we played nice football under Todd and we went down, I want 3 points from the game first and formost , now we get them dont give a shit.

Play the fancy stuff when we are 3-0 up and the 4th official puts the additional minutes at the end of the 90 :-)

 

We would have course have seen this in action last night! Bloody weather.
