Southampton in the League Cup when we drew them a couple of years in a row? Really enjoyed that tonight. Barnsley were a bug’s dick off going up to the Prem last season and we matched them for 90 minutes even after half a dozen changes. Loving the different options IE has at his disposal now rather than being up shit creek whenever a first choice player was injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter superjohnmcginlay Posted August 10, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2021 Enjoyed that, thought we weathered the storm early and settled in and played some good stuff. Thought Evatt changed it at the right time and the subs all had impact. They all scored a penalty too. Bak was superb when he came on. Santos looked at ease. cracking penalties all round for us. Comfortable and confident. all these things add up and with this winning mentality we have it’s bloody good to see these things swing in our favour! thoroughly deserved. good to be back!

bolton va va Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Really enjoyed that !!! Barnsley were good ( their no 10 was excellent )& had some early chances & shaded the 1st half, but 2nd half, we got better & better especially after Bakayoko came on. By the end ,it was Barnsley who were hanging on & I was surprisingly confident going into the penalties. It's given IE some choices for Saturday. For me, Dixon did nothing wrong, Santos was majestic ....it's hard on either Johnston or Baptiste but Santos must start, Lee was good but Sheehan should shade it & Bakayoko must be favourite for the striker's position ....no problem with Doyle but Baka is a real handful. It's great to have these choices now. When's the draw for the next round ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolton_blondie Posted August 10, 2021 Members Share Posted August 10, 2021 Enjoyed that! Little un learnt some new words and is a top class booer it seems. Fleeced me in club shop too. Currently writing a strongly worded letter as they ran out of hotdogs and obviously one tea is not enough for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanu Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Barnsley tipped to be one of the most fittest teams in the EFL with thier pressing but tonight I thought we really amped up the pressure later on & looked in better shape than them physically as the match got more open. As much as I love Baps (yes I know), Santos & Johnston looked to compliment each other absolute superbly as we hoped would be the case so hopefully that's the start of a promising partnership. Don't like to single a player out but does gnev want to throw a cheeky few quid at us for the Fonz? where's he going to fit in? Dapo, Baka, Kachunga, Izzy are all ahead of him & surely it's better for the club to try bleed Dennis back in instead of a 30 YO journeyman who looks like he can't even be arsed.

ErnestTurnip Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Felt like we did a lot of work off the ball in the first half and I was a bit worried we might tire in the second but it didn't happen and the work rate went up if anything. Thought I was in Uganda walking past the hotel after the game after a battalion of child soldiers marched along ready to go to war 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 One gripe is the decision not to put buses on for this game surely a skeleton service could be put on to get more folk in the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
