gonzo Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 22 minutes ago, JimmyRiddle said: Very droll, and sure he will and you make a great point by highlighting the huge problem. We will need to go back to a striker who has scored 2 pens and a header from a set piece by December, non from open play. Just let that sink in 3 goals, 2 pens and non from open play and people defend him, I honestly don't get why people are so defensive about him. How many games have we failed to score at all with him playing. And here is the massive issue in that Evatt absolutely failed to improve on Doyle. He played Baka and Kacha wide right when fit so clearly they weren't direct replacements, and in fact spends match after match blowing smoke up Doyle's arse despite his declining performances. Yet here we are, lots of shoulda woulda coulda games where Doyle missed sitters in every one, and these games are likely to bite us in the arse one way or another. And now Doyle will somehow become our saviour for some I'm sure!??? Based on what exactly, I've no idea. Anyway, Doyle is way down the pecking order in the issues at the club currently. It's good FV committed to funding Jan signings, only concern is if we are nowhere near in the league Dapo may well be seen as low hanging fruit by others. You talk like hes missing hat fulls of chances. Hes getting no service. The players bought in to help with that have not worked. What do you want him to do, drop deep and create his own?

Looked soft to me, but I was watching it live so no benefit of replays. There wasn’t much argument from the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a new keeper in Jan. Watched it live without the benefit of replays but he had a good game for me. Should have done better with their goal, but saved 3 or 4 others (and a pen). He’s not at the top of our replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking garbage him. He was clear, just the keeper to beat, 7 yards from goal. His shot went 7 yards wide. Yes, it ended up as far from goal as it was when he hit it.

There's fans of some clubs who love him though, he's clearly capable of something but it looks like one of them that just won't work out for us. Unfortunately he's going to get a fair bit more game time for a while yet. Meanwhile, just 5k on today including over 1k from Bolton, I thought they were a bit better supported than that.

Popular Post Mounts Kipper Posted November 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) This season reminds me of the time phil Neal took us out of div 4, now as then we are a work in progress, we need stability for the next couple of years and continue to build, squad and club year on year, this is a long term project let’s give the manager & owners full support.

Max Cherry Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Just got to say I'd rather have Arthur than Kachunga. kachunga is this seasons Crellin. Clearly not good enough. Painful to watch and never going to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I might be a plant pot Traf and I do post in the Bolton News but as far as I’m aware I’ve never called for Evatt’s head. Not yet anyway 😉🥴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Absolutely fucking this Struggle to believe that some folk (not necessarily on here) think that we should automatically be top 3 after being promoted last year Mid table end to this season and we’ve moved forward Folk criticising Evatt for what he’s said. OK tell him to be honest. “Yeah, we’ve not got a pot to piss in so I went out and signed some bang average players who maybe aren’t good enough for this level but I’ll try to work with what I’ve got” Evatt’s made mistakes. Some of the players need to take a long and hard look at themselves. Our support is incredible as is our higher management of the club and this is Groundhog Day from the Phil Neal days. He deserves a lot of credit for where we got to and Evatt deserves the backing to try and do the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 We have to rally the troops and stand firm together behind the club, the owners, the manager, his staff & the players. Next few games are going to be really tough, we're struggling to put a team out right now with all the injuries. I've got a feeling Doyle could have played today, but then wouldn't have made Tuesday. Tuesday probably seems more winnable on paper, so hopefully we'll see him return. Aside from him, it's just going to be a case of who's fit, plays. Positives from today, Isgrove had a better game than of late and Thomason put a real shift in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 2 hours ago, Take Hunt Off said: So was Dafo , if you get free transfers 50% right your not a bad manager Maybe Doyle will take Kachunga’s place when fit ? Surely 90% of signings in leagues 1 and 2 are free? You'd expect better than 50% success rate. That's not a comment on IE, or Kachunga, just saying most managers need to have a decent success rate at any level from Prem to NW Counties.

All 4 goals were down to being strong more than finishing ability (although that's needed too). If you haven't got strength or pace, you really are limiting the type of chances you might score from, are Morecambe creating a load of chances on a plate for Cole Stockton to score 12 already?

Burndens Bogs Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) November has sure been a tough month, injuries aside we’ve lost our ability to defend and we look toothless in attack. Lets see what happens in these next 2 home games, 6 points would be mint,but i’d happily settle for 4 points, we badly need a win so although 3 points from the 2 games wouldn’t be a total disaster, anything less would. Get behind them on Tuesday & try and help them over the line. Edited November 21, 2021 by Burndens Bogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
