Blondi Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) According to the Mail, Maddison was in the Bolton squad to take on Barrow in a League Two game at the University of Bolton Stadium. The 27 year-old was staying in a hotel 50 yards from the stadium, but he failed to appear at the 1.30pm meeting time. When he did arrive sources claimed he told Bolton boss Ian Evatt he had ‘slept in.’ Edited March 8, 2021 by Blondi
Max Cherry Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 We all knew Mr Maverick has 'issues". Hope he can work them out for his sake but i dont think IE will be relying on him more hoping he can take chance hes been given

Whitesince63 Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 IE was well aware of his issues before he came and if this is true, he will have had them confirmed by this. I don’t see Evatt being a soft touch and I’m sure the loan agreement takes into account the possibility it may be cut short. I hope not and that Maddison buckles down but if he doesn’t then he needs to be sent packing before he damages the atmosphere within the squad.

burnden Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Was told about this the morning of the game hotel staff had to knock him up.
Dr. Feelgood Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Well, this is the chance for the guy to give himself a shake and knuckle down. I suspect that may be a strength of Evatt's. If he doesn't take the chance he'll just prove a few people right. I'd love him to settle & things click for him.

If he was staying in a hotel "50 yards from the Stadium", I presume they're talking about the Premier Inn near the train station. Is that right, or have they misunderstood that we have a hotel in the Stadium itself? Edited March 8, 2021 by Cheese
Leyther_Matt Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Just now, Cheese said: If he was staying in a hotel "50 yards from the Stadium", it can only be the Premier Inn near the train station. Is that true, or have they misunderstood that we have a hotel in the Stadium itself? Could be wrong but I think the hotel at the stadium is a key workers only kind of arrangement, particularly with the Covid testing on the car park?
Burndens Bogs Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Evatts given him a chance, if Maddison decides no to make the most of it then thats him out of the door fairly sharpish.

Think he posted Instagram stuff eating with a view of the pitch. Sure he had another cooking in a hotel kitchen. Not sure an external chain would allow that.

Youri McAnespie Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 ^This... Lock him in his hotel room until he agrees not to sleep in. Who's the mole, and why? I wouldn't even buy someone a half of mild (in 1988) for that bit of shittle-tattle.
Duck Egg Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 I can't imagine Evatt suffers fools for very long. He'll have bollocked him, made him apologise to the squad and told him he's in the last chance saloon. The minute he starts to take the piss or impact on the squads happiness he'll be gone I reckon. Up to him now.
Ani Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 His bigger issue is now after bradford Evatt seems to have a starting XI with Delfonso, Arthur and the centre forward to come on he is way down the pecking order.
Casino Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Up to him to get back up there Great having competition

Whitesince63 Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 I don’t think it’s that he’s moved down the pecking order, just IE making the point by not putting him on. I expect him to play some part against Cambridge tomorrow, as long a he wakes up in time of course!!
Kane57 Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 You can't un-knob a knob. It'll be worth it even if the total sum of all his contributions whilst here is just one goal or one pass that leads to a goal.

CJG Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 At the moment Maddison pass completion is worse than Gilks. https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/92/Show/England-Bolton

If he’s sleeping in until gone 1.30 then it’s a sure-fire guarantee that he’s not going to bed at a reasonable hour. 27 years old single lad living a fairly luxury life having someone cook, tidy, make beds, etc., must be bored shitless. Wasn’t Kev Nolan given the job of chaperoning Andy Carol because he had exactly the same attitude as Maddison? Maybe our maverick needs someone to make sure he’s not a dick.
