Win? Lose ? Draw?

 

 

 

1-1 i reckon

He should have gone a long time ago. All the signs have been there...going back to his crazy team selections which cost us a play-off place in his first season (Leicester away and Blackpool at home). He was lucky to get away with our worst start in 111 years last season. We stuttered and stumbled through most of the season. Players constantly shuffled. No shape, no plan, even loans and cast-offs he himself had brought in left out or moved on (Hall, Davies, Danns, Medo, that lad from Southampton who signed for us and fucked off again after about a fortnight). His post-match analysis increasingly made Coyle's seem a model of sanity. It's felt like a slow, painful death. To those who've wanted to see it play out - you got your wish. And here we are - at the 10 game point people have been waiting for - a shambles of a club on and off the pitch. An insult to the thousands of Boltonians whose lives are touched by the fortunes of BWFC and the memory of those great names who've worn the shirt since 1874.

well said

Has he ever made a good signing for us?

Roughly translated...

 

Casino and Snoop, last bastion of support for DF, have crumbled. I think change is needed, and I don't think it's just down to DF still, I think another manager is going to struggle to get these fellas playing. Can't change a whole squad though, we will probably have to rely on a new manager bringing the lift in with him.

 

Surely a team of Lonergan, Ream, Dervite, Mills, McNaughton, Lee, Spearing (or Medo), M Davies, Feeney, C Davies, Mason should be able to get results? Surely?

 

 

i know of at least four other regulars on here who havent nailed their colours to the mast yet

 

i'm waiting to read their thoughts

 

 

 

oh aye, its his team, his players, pity he couldnt have got juke and dawson but that where we're at

 

i really hope they have been sulking bastards cos then we'll be fine

Agree with all of this apart from he should've gone after the Reading 7-1.  He's a fucking charlatan. Admit defeat Dougie and get the fuck out

Very well said, including (especially) the 1874.

 

That fookin marketing 1877 p*sses me right off.

After he said "we controlled possession without the ball" in one of his post match interviews I lost all confidence.

Dougie's favourite benchwarmer/ coach Andy Hughes wasn't at Fulham tonight in Dougie's hour of need, he was watching Leeds in the Billy Bremner Suite instead 

The situation is so bad now with the Whites, folk have given up taking the piss out of me in the pub.

If we can't afford to sack him put him on garden leave till the end if the season then ask Phillips to do the job till then can't cost any more than we're shelling out now

DF won't walk away he will lose his big pay day.

 

Goes to show it's all about money money money and not for the love of the club or football.

If he's not in the squad why shouldn't he?

Why would he love our club??? Why would he give the club £xx's

25 years watching the whites and that's the most gutless, pathetic performance I've seen. Shambles. Dougie looked like a completely beaten man. If he was a horse.....

I don't know whether I'm one of the four or not, but I've backed Dougie throughout and tonight was the final nail in the coffin.

 

What worries me the most is that I can't see what he is trying to do anymore. Last season, I was happy to give him time because I thought he was trying to build a side based around all the youngsters he'd been signing. I thought this year, we'd start seeing this plan starting to come together and them beginning their integration into the squad. That's just not happened and youth seems just as unlikely to make the side as in Big Sam's day.

 

I still think it was right to give him every chance - otherwise we'd never have a chance of attracting anyone decent. Hate sides who are constantly hiring and firing. You have to be sure that it's not going to work, and now I'm sure. You get to a stage when there's no way back and I think we're at it with the Dougster.

 

Incidentally - and I'm by no means a Gartside hater, it might do the club a favour if he did step aside. He's a divisive presence at the club, and I think if he went, we could unite behind somebody with a new vision and a change of direction.

 

As to who we'd get in - I'm just glad I don't have to make the decision. Sadly, it looks like we need somebody with a track record of keeping teams in the Championship. Fuck knows who mind!

He said it was a hangover but this feels more like a comedown. I've gone past the angry stage and now I'm at the life is meaningless and nothings gonna get any better stage. I'd love to know what he thinks our expectations should be after tonight..

DF won't walk away he will lose his big pay day.

Thats why they should just make the cunt turn up but put someone else in charge; fine the bastard when he is late - god if it was me being that bad at my job I would be managed out

If he's not in the squad why shouldn't he?

Thought he was also a first team coach?

Development squad

Development squad

Nothing to see here then!

Still awaiting managerial post match comments are we?

I think they're losing on purpose because they don't like him and it's only going to carry on until he's gone. We are not this shit, there is just no harmony in the squad

If that were true then that would make them cunts of a pretty high order

wouldnt go as far as to say losing on purpose but I dont think they are giving it 100%

 

A change needs to be made, the question again is who would come?
