September 13, 201411 yr It's the manager not the players. He certainly doesn't help But that 11 aren't good enough. If they were, and they knew the manager was shit, they should still be able to look at each other in the tunnel and agree to sort it out themselves They don't, so I just think they'll sink.
September 13, 201411 yr Yes We simply don't have the players See that's my biggest problem spiders. I think we do. That collection of players is more than capable of having us towards the top end of the division. I came out of the ground today and bumped into a sheff weds supporting lad I know from Over this way. He said "what the fuck is going on with you lot?? You were shocking" I said to his surprise its nothing unusual. He said "when you bought on Davies and Beckford I thought oh shit,here we go" I said "they've been moulded into shit" This is all down to the manager. We have no less money that 70% of the division,I repeat we have no less money that 70% of the division. We aren't as skint as casino/snoop make out. It's all fucking bollocks. The manager is out of his depth. We are sinking fast. Be some good aways next year though eh?
September 13, 201411 yr I was saying today, we are still on a downward slope. We ain't bottomed out or started to turn the corner yet. I hope it's soon otherwise we'll be in league 1 playing Bury soon.
September 13, 201411 yr Unbelievable some of his decisions, taking off Garvan and Davies at the same time, he should have started with only 1 of them, playing Mason up top on his own how many times before he realises he can't play that role, playing LCY all game after he's travelled halfway round the world, dropping player of the month Craig Davies the only player slightly capable of playing up top on his own, not giving Danns a game a player who can change the game off the bench, that list in just one game beggars belief.
September 13, 201411 yr If this was a few years ago the bed sheets would have been out ages ago Think even the fans have lost the will to fight How can Gartside and Eddie Davies hold their head up when they have brought in the worst ever management team to our once famous club? I know Freedman will NEVER take us anywhere but downwards; if we win Tuesday it will be just keep him in a job another month or so GET RID FOR THE SAKE OF BWFC
September 13, 201411 yr At the moment I can't see how we can win a game in this Division based on what I've seen this season, and in particular today. Players or manager? Manager for me. Most of what he's brought in are crap, and the few decent ones left from the previous regime have gone backwards. Gonzo's right, money isn't the issue either, loads of other managers have had the job of putting a team together to do well in the Championship while trimming the wage bill. Hardly any pay actual fees these days, they just have a better eye for a player (probably because they look further than Palace reserves or Millwall's bench) and they have worked out that winning games in the Division is a lot simpler a process that Dougie seems to think it is. At the moment we're going down without any sort of a fight
September 13, 201411 yr Yep it's a strong possibility. Players aren't good enough. Can't score goals Worse side I've ever seen
September 13, 201411 yr I think he has got the players, he just hasn,t got a clue what to do with them.
September 13, 201411 yr In what can probably only be described as plain ignorance, I still cant see us going down. I suppose I always feel like we will turn it round in the end. Mind you I was still thinking that in the final seconds against Stoke on the last day of our Premier League lives. I believe we've got the players to forge a half decent team. I don't believe we've got the leadership or right people in charge to do it. In the process, any positivity, fight and morale is being drained out of the support. I'm usually quite upbeat about Wanderers even not too long after bad defeats, but I've never felt as down about them as I do right now.
September 13, 201411 yr I'm still not having it that these players can't hold their own in this league. Someone has to kick them up their collective arses and convince them that all we (the people who pay their wages) want is for them to roll their sleeves up and get stuck in. And another thing, when I rule the world, the second thing I'd do (after abolishing bar-stools) would be to make it law that you can only wear coloured footwear when you've proved yourself competent with a football. Otherwise it's black boots only. How some of our tosspots get contacts to wear hi-vis boots amazes me. Pissed up rant over.
September 13, 201411 yr I think it will be a worse sacking than Mary Spunkson not for the timing but the general feeling
September 13, 201411 yr We are a team of average championship players with a weak manager no leadership and no coherent plan. I don't think we will drop though but it ain't gonna be pretty!
September 13, 201411 yr I can't see us winning as many games at home as we did last season. I don't even think we could beat Manchester United or Blackpool at this rate.
September 13, 201411 yr I honestly think we have the players to easily stay up. But there is something seriously wrong at BWFC and it's something to do with Freedman. Players like M Davies, Spearing, Lee, Wheater etc shouldn't be in a team at the bottom of the Championship, they'd walk into most teams in this league. But why they are playing so badly I just don't know , and it's depressing. We need serious changes at the club, it's heartbreaking seeing the team just getting worse and worse
September 14, 201411 yr without doubt we're in a relegation battleNah, played all the top teams now, bring on all the shite teams.
September 14, 201411 yr Perhaps the problem with Dougie, is that he seems to be watching a different match to the rest of us: Post match Bolton Manager Dougie Freedman on draw Bolton boss Dougie Freedman: "I thought the performance was good and we were very brave on the ball. But we could have created one or two more opportunities and that was what was lacking from our performance. "They asked a lot of questions of us defensively but I thought we coped very well. Did we do enough to win the game? Probably not. "But I don't think we deserved to lose. We came up against a very good team, especially away from home." Edited September 14, 201411 yr by Wullie

Not one other person in the ground would describe it like that
September 14, 201411 yr Just like being back in the prem, hoping 3 teams are worse than us. Not at the moment,long season though,can always hope ?
