Dougie Freedman

[Zico]

Saturdaywas a big tick from me. I think he knows he's got it slightly wrong for the first hour, looked at what it was that was wrong and changed accordingly. He's had a successful plan B. It's fucking refreshing that we have a manager capable of doing that.

 

we'll see

 

he did the same against Cardiff in his first game, though till now I thought it was a one off

Good article here about his fitness company

Every one has a major impact

I think it was good decision to play K. Davies as C.Davies worked his socks off upfront at Barnsley I was Suprised he lasted 75 minutes though, we now have a fresh Craig Davies for Saturdays game.

Not often you come up with something sensible, but agree with Davies starting was just wrong, and Lonergan was immense.

I thought KD did ok.

 

Nothing more nothing less.

 

Playing in the championship is a squad game when games are coming thick and fast.

I'd like to see the stats on his substitutions going on to win games etc.

I thought he was poor last night, but do agree with DF's current rotation policy. It could easily backfire as N'Gog has had 3 different starting partners in 3 games, but we won them all, so it's doing the trick. I do like the defence playing together more often than not though - even if we don't look completely rocksteady, I thought overall defensively we dealt with Blackburn well last night.

There does appear to be doesn't there, which is refreshing. Those impact subs eh

 

I was surprised that he took Pratley and not Chungy off last night as DP was more effective IMO and he's physically stronger - CYL kept getting knocked off the ball by them, but he's paid to make those calls and it obviously worked effectively as we won. I also thought he timed Craig Davies' appearance very well.

So N'Gog must start. He's the constant in the equation

[DazBob]

Reet, I've had a think and even though it was a gamble playing K.Davies, it was a gamble that worked.

 

As said, games are coming thick and fast and it'd be a bit naive to expect to be able to play the same XI for every single game and still get 3 points from each of them.

 

We're unbeaten in 7 and won 4 on the bounce so who are any of us to question what he's doing.

Bolton manager Dougie Freedman: "I know it's an old cliche but I'm not interested in what's up or down.

"I said that a few weeks ago when a few people were questioning me about relegation - I thought they were crazy. I didn't think it was a question I should have had."
