Momentum

[Ratwhite]

Been browsing the threads this weekend and noticed some negativity creeping in after the Blackpool draw. Whilst it all about opinions and everyone as a view, one thing is for definite. Undefeated in three.

Momentum can take us anywhere, but it has build somewhere, this "in my opinion" is where we are at. Beat Huddersfield and who knows...

 

That is all

I'm ok with a point especially if we follow it up with 3 points on Saturday. I can never be too disappointed with an away point regardless of who we play

We should take into account the losing of Mark Davies the pitch at Bloomfield and the new manager effect and the fact Clarke had seen us first hand recently throw in the poor record we have at Blackpool and its a decent point. ( don't listen to the neg heads they need treatment) That point gives us the carrot for Saturday beat huddersfield and we leapfrog them and will be on the verge of mid table and coming into the busy Christmas period in good shape. However would like to see some ambition in the shape of 1 or 2 signings preferably attack minded players. Get the right personnel in and we've a sneak of a chance of top 6.

Enjoying the improved performances/attitudes/passion and atmosphere at games now we need to keep level headed and realistic and do our bit as fans which is support the team for full games regardless , put 2 or 3 wins together and we will start flying  #COYFWM

Never seen a pitch as compact as that. It was so difficult to move around as we was pressed so much. Just why didn't we go to cross the ball more often when we had room to on the wings? Why doesn't Feeney pick his head up when running with the ball? A blip was Saturday but under Douglas we would of really fell after the goal. COYWM

we're all happy clappers

There was laods of room out wide, which made Feeney and Claytons contribution frustrating.

 

Blackpool were there for the taking and other than a great free kick i could not see them scoring. Typical of Bolton fans Spearing gets grief for the foul but think it was a bad ball from Devrite that caused the problem.

 

We are a long way of world beaters and to me seem like a very average team in this division, but there is no outstanding team in the division so slight improvment form average could see us progress, decent run till Xmas , lets see who he gets in and build from there.

 

I thought our support on Saturday was very good , vast majority behind the team throughout.

i heard lee clark on the local radio

 

pretty much said he felt if they defended deep we didn't have the guile to break them down

 

they were happy to let our defence have it

[marple whites]

For me, if Freedman had been in charge at Blackpool we would have lost that game.  They way we responded after going a goal down was very good.  I did feel that we had a lot of possession, but lacked a bit of creativity.  However, given their manager had 2 weeks to prepare, it wasn't a bad point. 

At least Lennon came out and said we looked a bit rusty for the first 20.

Huddersfield are 14th and if we beat them on Saturday, we go above them !!

 

Onwards and upwards

They need to stop drinking alchohol is a depressant and these folk verging on manic depression so stop drinking or stop watching football or both. Edited November 24, 2014 by Mounts Kipper

The international break did us no favours whatsoever.

 

Chungy was nowhere near the levels he has been the past couple of games,flying half way round the world and back obviously didnt help.

 

We just got sucked down to their level on Saturday as they basicly killed the game like a non league team would in the 3rd round of the cup.

 

But we didnt get beat,as has been said elsewhere...under certain other regimes we would have lost that game.

 

Onwards and upwards..Rome wasnt built in a day and all that.

 

There was a lot of damage caused by the last man in charge,it's going to take time to patch things together,but the signs are there it's going to happen.

[tomski]

Point gained for me. Lennons boys are becoming hard to beat. Certainly a step in the right direction.

[Traf]

I'm in the point gained camp.

 

13pts from 21 under Lennon, isn't it?

 

Continue that and we finish on 70pts. 

 

Happy Days COYWM

[SalfordOriginal]

Thought we controlled the game without actually creating anything.  The game was crying out for a fit Mark Davies

 

Like others have said under the previous management team we would have lost so certainly felt like a point gained.

Overall good day out with the football only spoiled by a load of Bury fans in front of us

I think after the previous two games expectations were raised very high and the Blackpool game brough a dose of reality. The point in itself wasn't a bad result. Neither was the performance. But it just showed we have a way to go before we can start thinking about anything other than getting out of the bottom 6 or 7 positions. That is probably why some people are more disappointed. The performances against Cardiff and Wigan were very good, but probably not reflective of the players we have overall.

 

End of the day we might count ourselves a bit unlucky to not have beaten Blackpool but then again Wigan could have been out of sight befoe halftime. Overall the progress is huge. 7 points from the last 3 games when we only managed 5 in the first 11, can't really grumble too much.

We didn't create much but even so, both Feeney and Davies missed sitters.

South Korea played international matches away to Jordan and Iran. As far as travel from UK to represent South Korea goes, travel was hardly an issue on this occasion as the whole round trip was under 7,000 miles.

I blame the green kit. Kit man out!

A win against Blackpool would have taken Lennon's win ratio with Bolton above that with Celtic, which is beyond all reasonable expectations at this stage.

I know it was a nice touch etc but its fucking horrendous.

 

Nearly as bad as their tangerine number.

All of this.

There's no way we'd have come back from Blackpool scoring in the 75th minute before Lennon arrived. Think back to any good run Bolton have had in your time of supporting the club and, likely is not, there'll have been some drawn matches in that run that were a bit touch and go.

 

I'm looking forward to upcoming games (particularly the Dingles on Boxing Day) and seeing what Lennon does in the transfer market.

 

However I have to say I am not realistically looking at the top six. We've lost 10 games already and could probably only afford to lose another 3 all season to have any chance.

Hull got automatic promotion with 15 defeats!

If we beat Huddersfield - we go above them

 

Nice leap to mid-table
