if we get relegated, we're fcuked

 

it aint happening this season. mind

 

 

Can't see that it'll make that much difference

Posted

Maybe we might have to suffer relegation to bounce back?

 

Our form is mid-table since Lennon arrived. What makes you think we're going to go backwards rather than forwards next season?

I've heard a couple mention getting Le Fondre in for next season, unless it's another loan deal I can't see us paying a fee to sign him. I reckon Cardiff would want a million+ for him and he must be on a half.decent wage.

Your probably right but as a Bolton fan it's seriously frustrating similar situation to jukewitz were fast heading to be a championship makeweight.

Le Fondre is an average championship striker, wouldn't want to see us paying a large chunk of our budget on him. If we're aiming for promotion, we need to spend a little wiser.

He's not average championship striker he's very decent at that level just how is he average? Check out his stats.

Nothing, it was a barb aimed at Cas & the other Freedman apologists

 

 

why not stick to the here n now?

 

he seems intent on fcuking about with wing backs

 

he started heskey ahead of davies - fwiw, a midfielder should have played ahead of both of them

 

he bought the pole from celtic who looks like a duffer

 

some of the football at home has been great fun but hes not above being questioned

 

 

how about this one

 

in recent weeks, pratley has done a muscle within minutes of the restart

 

janko has pulled out in the warm up

 

similarly le fondre

 

screams poor prep to me and thats down to the manager

Agree with a lot of that but the injuries....Janko has a long standing back problem that he suffered from whilst at Man UTD, and Le Fondre withdrew with a stomach bug.

From showings this season and his form at cardiff. While he is a decent finisher, i feel his overall game lets him down and we are weaker team with him in it.

I'd not say a poorer team, but he's a decent finisher without being outstanding at it and he works hard. However he is far, far from the player some seem to think. We won't go up with him up top by himself and I think we will need to play a lone striker at times to get out of this league probably. I don't think Le Fondre is what we need next season. We need someone Clough can play off.

this is a real problem for lennon

 

as good as i believe clough is, i dont see how he fits into anything other than a 451

 

best thing might e taking 5 million for him in the summer, sad as it would be

Nah, Clough plays behind a target man. Our best chance next season. Probably our only chance is that Clough continues the sort of form from this and bags 20 or so goals....

this is hard work

 

ill spell it out

 

i dont think clough will work with 2 others up front

 

so if we did get alf, i dont see how it works as he cant be one on his own

 

unless thats what all this 352 is all about?

 

tis all

Posted

Would have taken a point before the game so job done in that regard, but Christ that was disappointing. And disappointingly familiar that we'd throw it away like that having somehow got in front when we'd created shit all going forward all game.

Spot on Matt!

Posted

Thought we were fortunate to get a point today played a lot better away and lost so probably a point gained

Hopefully mavies might do more than 10games next season,can't wait for next season now, Neil Lennon is doing very similar things to when big Sam took over and also there was an eclipse that year as well I THINK

We are in agreement. I'd pass on ALF, and suspect it's irrelevant as we won't have the cash to sign him.

 

Build a team around young Clough and find a target man for him to play behind.

All this talk of we can't play a certain way if Clough in the team I don't understand do we have to restrict ourselves to one formation or style? Surely we need a couple of different styles if we're to mount any sort of challenge.

Posted

fair enough

 

but

 

re le fondre, im not sure we'd need to pay

 

cardiff arent going to play him so theyll just want to lose most or all of his wages
