Sorry, you can't defend him. He cannot motivate a team that were second fav for promotion.

He can go now for me!

Dear Dougie,

 

Round pegs in round holes would be a good start, mate.

Exactly, he's trying to be clever and failing miserably.

Hes not been backed by the board...he doesnt deserve to go.

 

I reckon instead of Dougie out,we get behind him and turn this shit around.

 

 

The Gonzo I think I love you.......now come here and sit on uncle Waddys knee !

Dear Dougie,

and if you don't have round pegs hit them with a hammer

Freedman in!

End of October - for me we need to see signs of recovery by then, in performances & results. Still early days this season, but this form can't be allowed to go on until Christmas.

 

Re earlier points on here : Doesn't matter if a player is a big earner or not; if he's poor and/or got bad attitude, put him in the stiffs.  Round pegs in round holes - stop trying to be a 'clever' manager and get back to basics. Get some consistency in team selections & tactics; stop tinkering every match. And if he's livid after today's match, he should have been equally livid some time ago; and kicked arse; as others have said, these problems have existed in the squad for quite some time.

 

And, for me, DF and his staff HAVE to be able to get a bunch of (mainly) above-average players for this division playing football as a TEAM, with a PLAN, including (but not limited to) ALL deadball situatons. And if they can't do that, they're in the wrong job.

'players can be at a club too long'

 

knight, wheater, ngog, mears, pratley and lee?

 

both knight and lee failed to commit to challenges and cost us 2 goals

 

pratley (i think) gave the ball away for the first

 

 

as for the game, first half was dogshite

 

beginning of the second we had 'em on the ropes - typical ngog failing to finish after doing the hard work

 

by the end it was a shambles, playing 4-1-5

Only 1 winner at 2-1 down that was us, NGog then decided he'd had enough waved to the bench to take him off 30secs later DF obliged, good managers would have said give me 15 minutes, sorry DF that's just poor management, he brings Moritz on who's clearly not fit and then to top it all plays spearing on his own in midfield, the fullbacks are ahead of the wingers, no one has a clue where there playing, the jokes up Freedman needs to get a grip or I fear badly for him poorer than poor his current decisions.

Hes not been backed by the board...he doesnt deserve to go.

I'm sure his budget is in the top 6 spenders it's not all about money he has to instill desire, passion and team spirit all these are badly lacking at the moment.

Ngog was on his arse. Lad could barely stand up. There is plenty to say is wrong but don't start making nonsense up about poor management taking a player off who was clearly dead on his feet. Leaving him on would have been ridiculous.

No ones suggesting Blackpool and Burnley's board have backed them, they sold their best players yet they can play like a team, why can't we? I know it's early days but we are bottom of the league and deservedly so.

He has the power to instill desire, passion and team spirit but I think they need to be his players. Like he has said already, the dead wood have to go. Unfortunately it is half the squad and it cant be done overnight, or a couple of transfer windows.

 

We really really cant expect overnight results with the shite we have in defence.

Ngog was holding his left hamstring when he indicated he wanted to come off.

Moritz actually made sense at the time. Get some link up. Plus I'd be pretty disappointed he couldn't muster 25 minutes.

 

He did about the same as eagles. Basically eff all

Their squads are not full of ex premiership players on big wages. That's the difference. Half our players probably see us as them being on the way down in their careers and a last pay packet. If you've gone to Burnley or Blackpool you are looking to get your career going.

He's a pro footballer have a breather then get back into it if he can't do more than 1 hour at his age get shut, bottom line is he's not committed.

It is frustrating that he tires but he was our only threat today. I think we would get rid if anyone would pay for him and take his wages on. But then would we get better? No easy or quick answers here I'm afraid!

Ngog probably twisted his hamstring trying to beat his man 3 times before failing to score.

 

Early shot or a pass was the right answer, David.

He needs to see that knight is a liability, spearing and medo are almost like Gerard nd lamp are in terms of cant play together, Tyrone mears can just fuck off the shit cunt, ball went to him first half he missed it and gave up, second half got nudged off the ball too easy then fell as he tried to get up, purely fuckin awful

 

The are no leaders, no direction, no confidence, no team spirit, they don't want the ball, no communication etc, there is a big fuckin problem nd I can see relegation again

I still love Bolton Wanderers, and proud of it in any city or town in the country or foreign shores.

Correct, Mick, as ever.

Money talks and it will at the end of this season. Bwfc dont spend money..thats why we are shit

Fucking hell, we have performed miracles over the last eleven years, can you not remember when Leeds United was a good team and money was chucked at them to no avail.

Fuck off with all your no money bullshit

 

Gartside seems happy enough

T'Alehouse throwing out early?

I have been lucky to see my team in the Prem and Europe, we have no divine right to say we should be up with the top boys, get a grip.
