Mantra Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) Quote The score line don’t really reflect the game .. first half we were excellent best home performance of the season .. our movement was good … then a bad mistake by the ref for their goal McG clearly had a player in an offside position in his eye line and it’s 1-1 .. totally undeserved by Bolton Quote Late on a third and another offside goal for the 4th … To be fair most of their forum posts are similar to when we beat Ipswich, just complaining about their own team being shit rather than much about us, but I did just read this shocker of a take. Clearly this lad needs to watch back the replays but I don't blame him for not wanting to do so. 😃 Edited September 29, 2021 by Mantra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, plus the ball goes nowhere near Doyle anyway, Lee jumps over it and he's clearly onside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeBWFC Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I saw that post last night as well and had to go back to check the replays, both clearly onside, the 4th looks really tight in real time especially when Sarce picks it up in acres, but you clearly see on the replay their right sided defender playing them on by a good few foot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think there were better options at the time but he's here, doing just fine and I agree that his habit of catching the ball is a blessed relief. Certainly an improvement on scooping it straight to an inrushing opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter desperado Posted September 30, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2021 Fair play. I must also admit, I had him as a number 2 and back up to Gilks. He’s done a fantastic job to make the number one spot his own. It’s been said before but the most simple (yet crucial) attribute he has, is being in the right place at the right time, making it look easy. He’s a good un Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 30, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2021 I think Dixon's distribution is actually quite decent. Worked a treat against Rotherham in the first half when they pressed high to stop him rolling it to the centre backs. He threw it or kicked it but quite flat and we had some joy from it. Their manager withdrew the press because we got in frequently. Just failed to capitalise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon looks so confident playing out from the back which given what happened in one of his first games at FCUM, is remarkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 30, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2021 All keepers make mistakes with their distribution from time to time- we've seen even the best in the prem do it occasionally. We also see it from our defenders sometimes. They will continue to make some poor passes too; we're league one after all. If we gain more than we lose from it though then that's success.

matty2094 Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 Sorry lads and lasses, real life has somewhat got in the way this week. I'll try and get these done in one but I've got a busy night once again. Interesting that on Charlton's forum they have a very thorough indepth guide to the opposition on the pre-match thread. Here's our write up for anyone concerned: Quote Bolton have got a manager who has won promotion in each of his last two seasons. Evatt was the man who guided Barrow to the football league and took over Bolton in the summer of 2020. He completed the same feat for The Trotters, but this time taking them back to League One. Evatt has instilled a hard-working, honest, and winning mentality - a team who fight for each other and add a sprinkle of quality at the top end of the pitch. Because of this spirit and players knowing their job, it won't be often you'll see Bolton lose by many this season. An interesting stat to show what Evatt has brought to Bolton is they won 17 games last season by a single goal margin. The 3 behind Doyle all bring something different to the table. Isgrove will be known to Adkins from his time at Southampton, although he didn't ever make the grade, he will want to tuck in and get close to Doyle. Sarcevic is a creative number 10 where much of Bolton's good play will go through him. We can't allow him space to pick a pass, and he has a goal in him too, proved mainly at League Two level, but his quality will show if given the time. Afolayan is Bolton's top scorer this season with 4 in 9, to describe him, he is a little bit like Blackett-Taylor - direct and will run at the full-back. We will have to be careful we don't leave our full-back's exposed 1v1 too often. Bolton are a side who cross the ball a lot in this division, averaging 20 a game, interestingly we average 21. They pass the ball far more than we do, and with greater effect too. Stats show when they do go long, Bolton will only win the first and second ball on average around 15% of the time. One offensive pattern of play you will see often is most crosses will come down their right hand side with Jones overlapping and creating a situation where Isgrove tucks in, Sarcevic will float around the edge of the box, Afolayan at the back post and Sheehan will the player to arrive late, all supporting Doyle In the middle. With our defensive frailties, it's something that could cause us a lot of problems with players being dragged out of position and others not knowing who to pick up. and then into pre-match discussion... Quote I like your optimism, but on recent defensive showings we won't be able to handle Afolayan. Quote Bolt-on Acessories will do us 0-3. Quote My Sunderland mate says Bolton were unlucky to lose at the stadium of light on Saturday. Quote Surprising 5-3 victory. Quote We have the players to win but a manager who can set us up to lose. 2-1 to Bolton. Quote All we need is it to click and can see us going on a 20 game winning run. Quote Bolton are a team around the level of where we should be. They're higher end of midtable and it'll be a game that shows us if we'll be able to climb out of this relegation fight. Quote I can’t make this one but enjoyed that preview thank you – particularly the description of our opponents as “a team who fight for each other and add a sprinkle of quality at the top end of the pitch”. If true, that just about seals our fate. Quote Charlton 0 B0lton 2. Bolton on a decent run of form. Quote Cafc 2-1 bolton 3 wins on the trot puts us back in the mix and everyone becomes more positive Quote This will be a tough test, if the team turns up as per the other games the season we're in for a walloping. I can honestly see us getting turned over by a 3 goal margin. Quote I just looked at the "away" table. Bolton are top W2 D1 L2 Quote Someone is going to take a right tonking off us at some stage. Sadly it won’t be Bolton and it won’t be this season. 0-1. Quote Tonight will be the start of the Gunter redemption arc. 4-0 to the mighty Addicks. Quote terrific preview .. Bolton are inconsistent, recent goalless losses to Rotherham and Sunderland, two of the better L1 teams so far follow a hammering 5-2 of Ipswich at Portman Road and a 0-0 at Burton. If we approach this game playing from the start as we did in the 2nd half v Pompey we will be in with a right good chance. And that is the key, a good old 4 4 2 line up playing positive and confident football from the start to the finish .. come on you Addicksssaaaaa .. we need the points and Bolton on paper are on a par with us, we need to start birdying our pars and win this type of game.. excuse the golfing terms, too much of a Ryder cup hangover Quote Bolton are going to be up there, a good side with a good manager. Think we will sneak a draw to keep everything just as it is, 1-1. Quote We are absolutely going to win tonight. I'm confident. 1-0 or 2-1 MATCH THREAD Quote "The palindrome of Bolton is Notlob" Quote We win this. COYR Quote On the face of it this early another team who play better football than us it appears. Quote decent turn out from Bolton Quote My God. We look quite good. Quote Bolton really dishing out the ott tackles now. Hope this doesn't defend into a slog fest. Quote good team Notlob. Will do well to get a clean sheet win. Quote 1-1. We don't deserve that Quote Dirty foul from Afolayan... Pretty much unpunished 'had a word' Quote This Dapo has been class in all fairness Quote Matthews should've done better for the goal. Their left winger is the best player on the pitch though. Quote SSN: Bolton have lost their last two and have not lost three on the bounce for over a year Quote Bolton must be sitting there now thinking they're lucky not to be 2 down instead go in level at half time. Quote Bolton manager looks a horrible bastard. Quote FFS ref! Even kicking the ball away doesn't draw a yellow for Bolton. Quote I must say I'm really looking forward to 30+ minutes of Bolton time-wasting, all of which will come without censure from the referee. Quote Come on ref, grow a pair and book these time-wasting muppets. At the moment they are just taking the p155 Quote 89 minutes. That's all it took for the ref to show a Bolton player a yellow. No idea how they managed that. Quote Get Big Sam on the dog and bone now!! Quote Chris Wilder In Quote KiwiValley said: Chris Wilder In I would take Gene Wilder at the minute. Quote Yeah... That's it. Losing 4-1 to a newly promoted side is completely unacceptable. Especially after leading. Will try and get post match done later.
