So.....Do we play our bestest team & hope that it builds their understanding & confidence but risk further injuries & bookings ?

or

Like at Shrewsbury, do we play the youngsters ( Odelusi, Hall, Vela, Eaves ?, Bolger ?) for experience ,with the squad players (Lonergan, C Davies, Mears etc) to keep them match fit ?

 

I'd probably go with most of the team from Shrewsbury, but  have the first choice players on the bench for if it's going horribly wrong.

  

I'll tell you something else, since Manchester Ufuckingnited keep getting a mention

 

For all we take the piss about their goggle eyes supporters applauding them off even after a defeat, that kind of support clearly doesn't go unnoticed.

 

I'm not saying we should be happy clappers like that lot, but just putting fingers on lips and letting the job get done might just fucking work.

 

On the other hand, if all you down in the mouth types DID go down the road, you might set off a collapse, so not a bad thing.

Fucking horse shit, you sound like a closet red.

 

Most passionate fans will whinge like fuck(including and especially them) if we are on a run like ours.

 

I'm still of the opinion that Freedman will turn us round, but if I want to take out my annoyance on here (which I've not yet) then I wouldn't appreciate being called a cunt.

"Forget about promotion..."

 

"We're adrift already..."

 

"We'll never go up under Freedman..."

 

Is it just me and a few others who don't see this as the be-all end-all? A good proportion of our last stint in the Premiership was fucking wank, and if, if, we managed to get up - you can more or less guarantee we'd get a good hiding at least once a month...

 

Long term sustainability and the ability to survive indefinitely in the second tier is the key - and I'll make a judgement on that around Christmas, when (not if) we're in or around the top six.

I don't mind some constructive criticism

 

But the reaction on here is simply comical at times

 

You'd think a zeppelin full of cow shit and ricin had popped over the Reebok sometimes.

 

I'll say it in capikkal letters - WE'VE NO FUCKING MONEY.

Just flicked through the thread but I'm calling bullshit on those attendances.

 

Cracking turnout by Bolton, outnumbered them easily.

 

As for the game, Tom Youngs, take a bow - only positive for me.

Thought Moritz and Beckford both played well when they came on.

A new manager needs to suss out what he's inherited, appoint his own staff, get used to the club, get rid of those he doesn't want, source the ones he does want, get them, get them all to work together, find the formula etc. All this with a backdrop of a club with problems otherwise he wouldn't be there in the first place. Anyone who thinks this can be done in less than a year is blinkered. Imo you've got to give someone 2 years and hope they don't go too far backwards if unsuccessful.

It's the acting like we have become as shit as bury and people saying they wont watch again, (30 years!) 

 

in the same way the 'happy clappers' are too positive, some fans are way too fucking negative

What position does this lad play?

 

Any hope of him coming through and improving the first team this season?

 

I'm sure our kids were meant to be getting betterer. Considering the general consensus is that we are dog shit and have too many rubbish players you would think it's a perfect opportunity for some of them to come through. Unless they are also dog shit of course.

and I agree, but I'd just let folk vent their annoyance on here, get it out their system.

Finally, somebody posted that goal of Nico's against Arsenal, another poster commented on the team celebrating - the names, the side we had...

 

Here's a newsflash, we're unlikely to see such a side again, it was out zenith in living memory - some should get used to this idea.

 

It was a deviation from the norm.

DF's been here 10 month, Coyle started getting stick after about 15 months (minus the off-season months)

This.

 

And folk still weren't happy with the men that brought us that unbelievable spell.

Thought Moritz and Beckford both played well when they came on.

True.

 

Moritz will be class when match fit, Beckford was a different player after his goal, looked very confident.

 

Birch - hes a winger, small but good first touch and very positive, probably too soon for him now but I'd get him loaned or involved, looks lively.

Wrong team started for me. We set out to soak up pressure and attack them on the counter. 1 up front against a team who got beat 5-0 off P'Boro, not good enough. Much better when Beckford and Moritz came on

 

Eaves is a stump, absolutely awful

 

Be interesting to see who starts on Saturday

DF's been here 10 month, Coyle started getting stick after about 15 months (minus the off-season months)

 

aye, cos its that fcuking simple

aye, cos its that fcuking simple

 

DF proved last season in the Championship he can do well

 

OC proved in the Premiership he can do well

 

OC also proved he can't do well the Premiership

 

OC proved he can't do it in the Championship (with Bolton)

 

DF is doing worse so far than what OC did at this stage last season

 

It was OKAY to slag OC off and he deserved it but say anything about DF and Bolton now and it's all stop throwing your prams out and let's pretend we don't have 2 points from 12 a -4 goal difference and are out of the cup to a lower team.

Well what is simple is that losing to trashmere is a shit result.

We are reaping what we've sewn.

I reckon we should boo Chris Youngs, before he gets going. Vela is coming back, but I doubt he'll make the first team, same as Chris Eaves and Odelusi. So boo to that too.

I was there in the 80s (and the 60s). I've been there and got the t-shirts.

And I've been saying on here for months that it'll take a new manager (ie DF) 18 months or so to sort out the mess.

But I'm still fed up of the poor quality, disorganised, ever-tinkering football we're seeing. There's no contradiction there - I was hoping to see concrete proof that we're heading in the right direction by now, even thought the finished article is some way off.

It's not funny we are losing fans left right and centre with inept management and inept displays. The fans were losing are long term dyed in the wool whites and not flash in the pan supporters.

Agree totally-didn't go to tranmere and not going to blackburn

Good fucking riddance IMO. The club needs supporters, not cry babies who don't like losing. We're Bolton, not United, not Barcelona.

A-fucking-men

Team and manager applauded off the pitch. Could and should have won comfortably, that's football.

how did mills and mears do?

 

good enough to get away?

Probably not, Mears was ok, no booing, Mills isn't match fit.

how did mills and mears do?

Both had good games

 

Wheater pulled up before the game, was set to start

 

Like to see what happens on Saturday if Wheater and Ream aren't fit. Mears in at rb and Baptiste cb? Or does Mills start

I thought Mills wasn't too bad, I think I'd try him at the weekend instead of Wheater. Mears was OK as well.
