On the topic of embargo

 

Even if lifted has anyone confirmed that we have any money to sign players transfer fees or even wages

 

All I'm saying is we may not be in a much better position than we are now, the embargo is only half of the problem

Aye

 

Even out of the embargo I couldn't see us signing anything other than freebies and loans

 

I think everyone was happy with our business over the summer and were confident we have a team that can stay up, knowing what we'd be up against

 

So there's more to it than just the embargo

 

The evidence so far suggests not or we're going about games in the right way, not because of who we brought in over the summer

A club under an embargo is a convenient reason for owners who don't want to spend any money not to.

 

We've gone into this season like a boxer with a broken hand and his other arm tied behind his back.

I'm sure that if the embargo was lifted and we didn't spend immediately then some of the Ken love would quickly dissipate. I'd hope that it wouldn't be the case but you all know what Bolton fans are like.

look it was good play from the lad but certainly no messi style build up

If it means taking an early yellow for the team then you do, we ain't going to get far pussy footing about and rolling over.

Take note on Tuesday because Sheffield Utd certainly won't hold back on challenges

The bloke you are talking to played football at a decent level

 

Certainly higher than anybody I know on here....even the baldy Manc

 

Doesn't make him right, just saying he is speaking from experience

I don't expect us to spend anything on players

 

We can't until January, anyway

But I'm sticking with my opinion and so thought many others on Saturday

Tbd, he doesn't chuck it in to his posts

 

I just think it's interesting that somebody who has played a bit doesn't think it's as simple as kick him up in the air

 

Unlike lies who has only ever run after a pie

 

It's something we all grew up with but these days, even if you catch the fella you're going off if you do it

Middlesbrough hadn't won away for 13 months, had lost their first 2 away games and failed to score at home to PNE last game.

 

Hardly the world beaters we made them look like yesterday then.

Are you aware they played in the Premier League last season? It's a nonsense stat.

i see where's he coming from

 

Hull away bloody awful 3 goals given by losing position in silly areas

 

Leeds and Derby much better than the two who came down

I'm not denying we're shit, I just hate nonsense stats. Like when Team A hasn't beaten Team B in 50 years even though they've only played once during that time.

And spent 30 million in the close seasons while we've finished a poor second to Sheffield signed no players for money and folk are moaning.

Dead right. We haven't won away in the Championship for nearly 30 games....but....well you know

Here's a thought, if we did come out of the embargo, then it would allow us to sign lads on better wages- could that be a kick up the pants to some of our irreplaceable, current incumbents, as in pull your socks up or some else can be brought in.

Is it possible that some feel too secure, irrespective of their wage.

The players put 100% in yesterday but fell well short I'm not sure what else u can do to be honest?

Maybe. I'm looking for a bit more leadership on the field, and as we all known when confidence is low performance levels drop.

Looking for players to show a bit more with the ball and not be fearful of making a mistake.

 

A lot of that needs to come from training and tactics, and maybe with the number of new players time is needed for the squad to gel.

Get that spirit and players will go that extra mile, even if they aren't aware of doing so.

one of my issues are the inconsistent performances

 

Take a good performance away at brum and follow up by not turning up against Derby

 

Sheffield Wednesday in cup cracking performance apart from switching off at the end, and that Wednesday team was packed with money signings so forget budget issue there to then capitulate at hull without fight
