salop wanderer Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 In terms of strikers plying their trades elsewhere - CD I get the confusion there cos it puzzles the fuck out of me why he left. Eaves? Forget it. The lad's been dog wank at Shrewsbury since he arrived. Quote
Ratwhite Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Freedman has come under much scrutiny after allowing Craig Davies to join League One side Preston North End on loan on transfer deadline day, and for not recalling Marvin Sordell or Tom Eaves to ease their shortage. But the Trotters boss is adamant he has the personnel to succeed, and doesn't need to bring his loanees back just yet. "We have got people in the team that are capable of scoring goals - like Liam Trotter and Mark Davies," Freedman told the Bolton News. "Yes it's unfortunate Jermaine Beckford is injured but I don't think you can just pinpoint that (Craig Davies's loan) as being the thing to blame. "The chances are coming and our approach play has been good but we just need to start getting back to clean sheets, we proved that last year, and then I know we can get the goals we need to win games of football." He talks more and more shit every week. States that we have people in the team that can score goals and then names 2 midfielders. Then goes on to say that we have had chances and the approach play has been good, which therefore means we just need somebody to score the fucking goals, surely the bit you're missing Dougie is the strikers that we have a huge lack of, they might finish these so called chances you mention because clearly these midfielders that you're relying on aren't. It's not rocket science, we have 1 fit striker, we don't score many goals. (We also have 4 centre backs across the back 4 and are shit at the back but that's a different rant) Reet £5 on Mark Davies first goal scorer (unless Rembrandt, sees different Saturday morn of course) Quote
salop wanderer Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 *EDIT* Second time around cos he was pretty good last time. TBF to the lad, the whole team are playing like fucktards Quote
cbwfcd Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 By the time Trotter gets into a goal scoring position the game will be over. If they are the answer to our lack of goals then we are screwed. Quote

Casino Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 "Yes it's unfortunate Jermaine Beckford is injured but I don't think you can just pinpoint that (Craig Davies's loan) as being the thing to blame." Pretty sure I can pinpoint that as being to blame for us only having one fit striker, Dougie. We had two strikers, you loaned one out and so we have one left. Maths is fun! mason was supposed to have signed by now beckford should've been fit not saying he called it right but thats why we are where we are at with one fit striker Quote
Pie Eater Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 mason was supposed to have signed by now beckford should've been fit not saying he called it right but thats why we are where we are at with one fit striker Too much riding on uncertain factors then Quote

Casino Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Too much riding on uncertain factors then aye, you're right we should have 6 centre forwards just in case Quote
Casino Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Looks like Mason is back on wonderful but seeing as its unlikely he's going to be asked to play the big lump up front role, lets see how it goes Quote
Pie Eater Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 aye, you're right we should have 6 centre forwards just in case We shouldn't send one of our 2 fit strikers out on loan until we're certain one of the two possibles will be available Quote
Eddie Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Reet £5 on Mark Davies first goal scorer (unless Rembrandt, sees different Saturday morn of course) To be fair it wouldn't surprise me if he did, he's good enough to be able to score a goal every so often breaking from midfield. To put any kind of reliance on that happening regularly enough to justify letting 1 of your 2 fit strikers go out on loan is clueless. As for the mason deal, if he comes back and plays him up top in a 2 with Juke then fine, if however he comes back and plays as the lone striker instead of Juke (or Beckford when he's fit) then Freedman has lost any ounce of sense that I thought he had left. I also think from what I have seen of both players that Craig Davies is more effective in this league than Mason, i've probably not seen enough of Mason in his short loan spell to completely write him off but I am wondering whether it's worth all this effort and only having 1 striker for 4 or 5 games just to effectively swap Davies for Mason.

Pie Eater Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Looks like Mason is back on Assuming Dougie is still in the job? Quote
RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 wonderful but seeing as its unlikely he's going to be asked to play the big lump up front role, lets see how it goes Unlikely?....more like a racing cert!....Believing Dougie will play 2 up top after everything we have seen this season is as big a leap of faith as you can get. I admire your optimism Cas, really I do & I hope you will be able to tell us all how wrong we were bout Freedman, but somehow I doubt it. Quote

Traf Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 "Yes it's unfortunate Jermaine Beckford is injured but I don't think you can just pinpoint that (Craig Davies's loan) as being the thing to blame." Technically DF is correct. CD's loan isn't the reason why JB is injured. Quote
COYW Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Is Trotter allowed to play against Millwall? Quote
Traf Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Is Trotter allowed to play against Millwall? Hopefully not. Quote
Garrp Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 does anyone know if Trotter can play tomorrow? Quote
