MickyD Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Wife just rang Wigan yoof were giving it large in Asda Escorted out and piped down sharpish when they saw a few older blokes taking an interest. They are such amateurs. I guess that might be me then. I was fucking fuming. Four teenagers giving it Billy big bollocks with their "what do you think of Bolton? Shit!"I walked up and told them to grow up or go ruin back to mummy. They didn't have an answer. Right bloons they were. Edited January 3, 2015 by MickyD Quote
oggybwfc Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) I also thought Trotter was alreet, better than Hudds but like I said that was his first game in Yonks. Lennon might be bigging him up to see if he can raise his game ALA Prattley and Chungy. Edited January 3, 2015 by oggybwfc Quote

MickyD Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 His Grandma was on GMR earlier. She sounded so proud she was close to tears. Said he's been at the club since he was eight. Denton lad apparently. Soon after that, there was a Rochdale fan on. He was asked if he fancies Bolton at home in next round. He replied, no. Bolton's a decent team. I'd rather have Man United. Quote
MickyD Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 You're Spider's Wife????? Aye. To be read in a really deepvoice Quote
darrener Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Clough was outstanding Thought the back four were good as well especially vela Don't like trotter but thought he had a good game especially 2nd half Only disappointment was heskey Rochdale away please. Quote
Elson Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2895472/Bolton-1-0-Wigan-Zach-Clough-finally-beats-Ali-Al-Habsi-Wanderers-local-bragging-rights.html How about that for a first line. The FA Cup third round tends to throw up lots of questions and the chief among them this season has to be: 'Where the hell have Bolton been hiding Zach Clough?' Wheater had a good game for me as well. Edited January 3, 2015 by Elson Quote
Casino Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 every time trotter gets the ball he wants to go forward he looks to play first time passes, the sort that rip teams apart cos they cant get organised hes as good a passer of the ball as we have but cos he doesnt run around like a fcuking headless chicken he has to be shite clough, as per barnstoneworth, i thought back to mcateer v rochdale he has to keep doing it but an exciting start we were a much better team once heskey sat down Quote
Ghana White Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Clough was class. His confidence was fantastic always looking for the ball, happy to run with it and knocked some great passes. Got stick in a few times as well. As dor the finish I can't believe he had the cool head to even think of doing that. Great debut. Vela another good game.pratley and trotter looked alright today and bogdan solid. Quote
smeghead83 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I love the way Lennon lourded Clough after the final whistle on the pitch, obviously telling him to soak up the applause. Bogdan was very sturdy today and deserves some credit. Took my lad along today, his record stands at watched 6, won 5, drew 1. The first game I took him to was York City at home in the fa cup 3rd round, a 2 nil win. We reached the semis that season so hopefully he's a lucky omen. Quote

Trotter is actually decent on the ball. More so than Pratley or Danns. He is though a bit lazy off it and at times he annoyed me as he watched his man go past him. Heskey was very poor. But I wonder how fit he is. Looked tired after ten minutes. A striker signing is a must though as without Davies we have nothing really up front. Quote
COYW Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Good to see Lennon fielding a pretty much full strength team. We should be trying to go as far as we can in this competition. Quote
jules_darby Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Wasn't there today but to be a championship central midfielder you need to do more than be a nice passer of the ball. Casino just won't stop backing the wrong horse aka Douglas and is too stubborn to admit when he gets it wrong Quote

Casino just won't stop backing the wrong horse aka Douglas and is too stubborn to admit when he gets it wrong Neil Lennon is backing him too though. Calling him outstanding. So isn't entirely random. Lennon tried to sign him for Celtic too and judging by his comments I expect Trotter to be a first team regular. Quote

As for comments, he's not going to call him crap is he? I hope he shows he is good enough, but so far he really hasn't...and that isn't just because he's not a "headless chicken". Quote

I hope he shows he is good enough, but so far he really hasn't...and that isn't just because he's not a "headless chicken". Lennon said he thought Trotter was back to his best at Hudds and 'outstanding today'. Went out of his way to say it too. Given the evidence thus far he clearly likes him. He's playing him over the club captain and Medo. I suspect he will start next week too. Quote
H Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 His Grandma was on GMR earlier. She sounded so proud she was close to tears. Said he's been at the club since he was eight. Denton lad apparently. Gerrard was at Liverpool from the age of 8. Let's hope Clough has the same influence on us. Quote
Matt Lofthouse Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Took my lad along today, his record stands at watched 6, won 5, drew 1.Half season ticket as late Christmas present maybe?! Clough - as above take a bow. Perfect timing with Chungy out. (Chungys long term replacement?) Great to see vela making that right back position his own. Proper footballer who always looks for the correct pass instead of hoofing it up his line. NLSWA Quote
DaveTheRave Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Enjoyed that again today. Bogdan did well and made a couple good saves, Vela and Wheater had good games at the back, Feeney did ok and could've had a couple, Trotter did alright imo, Pratley had another decent game. Clough was man of the match though. Great debut. Come On You Whites!!! Quote
bolton va va Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Wemberlee, Wemberlee. Another enjoyable match with praise for Bogdan who is our best keeper despite Lonners good recent form, Vela who is getting better & better ( helped by the suspension of M'c Mananmanman ) & Trotter who had a solid game & used the ball sensibly....if you could combine Trotter's ability with Pratley's athleticism we'd have a great player !!..but the star of the show was Clough. I don't believe in going over the top in criticising or praising a player on the strength of one game, but this was probably the best debut i've seen for one of our own youngsters into the 1st team. I'd describe it as like Mark Davies at his best ( without the glass knees ) running confidently with the ball, seeing the right passes & making them, standing up to any physical stuff and the icing on the cake of a beautifully taken goal. Outfuckingstanding. A final happy point is that wiggin looked very poor & only Al Habsi saved them from a gubbing . I've thought they had the quality to escape this season but on this showing they could be getting flushed. . Quote

I suspect he will start next week too.I've been away for both games so have to credit I haven't seen either performance and I'm glad to hear he's finally given us a couple However, NL would probably start you and I over Spearing and Medo, so is not say that line of thinking validates anyone, least of all Trotter Quote
BL2wanderer Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Another piece of great man-management was taking Clough off with a couple of minutes to go so he could milk the applause of the fans for his great performance, the future looks bright! Quote
MickyD Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Someone find the malky mckay interview. I don't think he was watching the same game as me. Reckons that Bogdan kept us in the game without mentioning the part his own keeper played in ensuring they weren't three or four down at half time. Quote
Traf Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Trotter was far better today than he was at Hudds. Mind you, he was fucking awful at Hudds. Quote
