January 1, 20206 yr So if I get this right we need to 1 sack Hill 2 sack flitcroft 3 get rid of centre half 4 get rid of Weir 5 get rid of Luke Murphy Get a better management team and some great loan deals.
January 1, 20206 yr Just had another look at today's highlights, pretty sure Burton's number 8 (Scott Fraser) he played a part in 3 of Burton's goals today, mind our defence helped them alot too.

Kin ell mate remember when the sunshine bus brigade asked Dougie Freedman to wear a suit because a manager should be in a suit
January 1, 20206 yr We had a spell in the first half when we must have put twenty or more passes together and were still in our own half. From memory all of their goals came between our centre backs. On a positive note the White Rat in TotH was spot on.
January 1, 20206 yr 24 minutes ago, Johnnyrotten said: How was he out of position? Central midfield, that's his position. In front of back 4 in 1st half, swapped with Murphy to push further forward 2nd half. Poor at both. Politic would love to play the role Weir had in 2nd half. Simply a better footballer irrespective of position - tackling, workrate, skill to beat a man, strength, passing long and short, shooting. I just dont get how he's been overlooked in favour of Weir today. He's not very good full stop, but he's certainly not suited to playing the role Lowe and Murphy do, to protect the defensive line. He plays wide on the left or in a central attacking midfield role. Politic can't play the roles that Lowe and Murphy do either, which is why it made no sense to play him in place of Weir.

Regardless of my views on Hill the owners need to move heaven and earth to bring in new players, ones who are capable of improving us, we have to give it our best shot of staying up, it’s difficult but still possible.
January 2, 20206 yr Not that it matters, but is Hill a Bolton fan? I know he’s always papping on about being from the town, but I’ve never heard him say he was a fan in his younger days.

The issue we have is that it seems the rest of the EFL seem to have a new hatred for us. Are they likely to loan us decent players who have the capability of keeping us in a league they think we're should have followed Bury out of? Edited January 2, 20206 yr by MickyD

Was pleasantly surprised to discover White Rat in TOTH recently - an excellent pint ... On a connected matter , this newly launched " White Horse" ale that Bank Top Brewery have produced exclusively for BWFC that is now on sale in the Hotel and at the ground ..anyone tried it ? .... whats the verdict ? Only ask because someone ( who should know ) in the Hotel Bar told me on New Years Eve when we asked for a pint that its not quite what it appears to be ... and that all Bank Top have done is simply rebadge some of its " Flat Cap " ale on behalf of the club ? Anyone know If there is any truth in this ?

They already brew half a dozen beers that taste exactly the same, so one more isn’t going to make a difference.

January 2, 20206 yr It's called marketing. They produced one for my former colleague Steve Morris who suffered 80% burns in a fire at Littleholme Walk, Bolton. It sold out because everyone wanted to have a pint of Steve's ale; I can't even remember what they called it! Top and bottom was that they re-badged an existing real ale, printed a pump badge and that was it. It sold a barrel in a three hour period compared with flat cap that's probably going to take a week or so to sell.

I know we can’t say he’s a bit shit because “we are lucky to have a club” but you will never get folk happy clapping on a cold New Year’s Day. if we offered a bit or organisation it would be ok. The defending is just woeful. They could at least be coached to move as a unit
January 2, 20206 yr On a side note I know the atmosphere is not good at the best of times but fuck me you could hear a pin drop for most part of the game yesterday
January 2, 20206 yr Where’s the new exciting ideas that the new owners planned? Pre and after match needs looking at to ensure more hard cash for the club, for a few ideas take a look at how Accy did it. Come on FV pull your fingers out. Edited January 2, 20206 yr by Mounts Kipper

January 2, 20206 yr Went in the Fanzone yesterday for the first time in a couple of seasons. Fuck mop! What a soulless, depressing place that is. Three security guards on the doors waving metal detectors and, apparently, explosive sniffers at and around me. I happened to quip, "Bloody hell, more security here than actually getting in the ground!" You'd have thought I'd dropped an envelope of cat shit on his shoes or similar. He glared at me and asked me why I'd said that. I pointed out that it was because the security to have a beer was greater than to watch a football game and that I found it strange. He glared a bit harder and told me that his job is to keep me safe from folk with blades or explosives. I get that and told him. But then added that it's nice to have some level of conversation between customers and staff. Fuck me, by this time he really was at the extent of his glaring. Dear BWFC, give your security staff (not club stewards, by the way) some customer service training.

Similar on the kids party after the Southend game took around 25-30mins to get through the checks just hired robots
