Not sure I’d fancy Delaney or Baptiste in L1 and def wouldn’t fancy Gilks but let’s get there first before deciding. More than good enough at L2 I thought that was Baptiste’s best game this season (ok he’s not set a good standard) I’m that pissed now I can’t remember but he made a cracking pass at the start of one of our goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superkev Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 They had two decent efforts today. Scored one and one was saved. That’ll do from an away game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had gone in. A prediction might have happened. Sodding hell, that's why we have a keeper. So it didn't. I predict within 5 years a small meteorite will land on the earth, somewhere. If it lands on someone's house, it might kill them. But it might not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The work rate kept there chances to a minimum keep most teams to a couple of chances on target and free kicks there not going to score many against us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes so much difference when we win no matter how we play. Still not back in love with the game but a few wins and I’ll grow back into it. We’re Bolton Wanderers, we’re on our way back Towd thi.

Ani Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 1 hour ago, Biggish Dave said: Depends how they do it. If we have 3 looking for the ball, the opposition have 3 looking to press, a quick long ball to out 2 up top while they have 3 up field, if we win the knock down, we can break. All about making the right decisions quickly enough Think you are probably right. In the second half as we were taking our time we were not playing the quick long balls. It was not helping to take pressure off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only criticism I'd have of both is why do they never look like scoring? They can win headers, and we get plenty of corners, but only Baptiste ever seems to get a header on target.

Any changes to the team? I'll go 2-1 to us, same team, keep the consistency. Maybe a cameo for Thomason off the bench instead of White.

He looked sharper today than he ever has. He's benefiting from the experienced keeper and defence around him. Like Santos and Delaney he's always got a slip up in him but he was much better today.

Johnnyrotten Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Useless but interesting stat. All 4 wins have been achieved after scoring the 1st goal by the 24th minute (3 by Doyle). Compared to our 3 home defeats where all 3 opponents have won the game in the 2nd half. Its great to get an early lead but I feel that we need to show we can grow stronger as the game goes on, we seem to tire after an hour or so. I don't care if we score in the 1st minute or the 95th if we win but I'd love us to boss a game in the 2nd half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazBob Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Thought we made hard work of it against a poor team ... but on the other hand it was good to see us grind out a result without playing particularly well. Felt like we were hanging on a bit, without letting them create any real chances, something we were incapable of doing up until a couple of weeks ago. It's also a much nicer feeling to be looking up the table rather than over our shoulders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
