tomski Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Looks like time has done Elmander a disservice. Megson signed him as a direct replacement to Anelka which was borderline mental. He was better off the front man and in position he was quality. I think he was class, I’d kill for us to have someone of his talent now. We have him or CYL in the team season after we don’t go down and start our dissent back to division 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a load of these:- - We sack Coyle after Swansea away in October - We keep Cahill instead of selling him in return for Ream & Sordell - We do more in training so we aren’t knackered after 60 minutes and actually have a gameplan - We don’t bring Chungy on in that WBA game - We put Jussi back in instead of sticking with Bogdan - We play Muamba I’m still absolutely astonished we took survival to the last day. Must’ve been a proper shit league that season. Matt Mills was on Undr The Cosh this week with more damning words about the lack of hard work. Sent us back ten years Coyle, and damn near nearly finished us. Evatt has shed loads of credit left at our place in comparison to Coyle.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted December 17, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2021 Not sure we saw the best or elmander consistently. Might just have been very inconsistent and a bit shit, but having a dodgy manager playing you out of position, and a team defending the coyle way doesn't help.

deane koontz Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Elmander and Davies had a purple patch together when they were mauling defenders for about 6 months. It was ace. Around the time Holden was tackling everything in midfield Edited December 17, 2021 by deane koontz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t ever call him class or anything close to class but what I will say is this, He was played out of position so much it was criminal . The amount of times he was put out wide. It was mental and everyone could see it. The pressure was on him from day one and was expected to bang in 15 goals. We didn’t get the best out of him, he was never prolific and we shouldn’t have expected it but we did with a couple of incompetent managers one more than the other. Coyle has absolutely stole a career. He should be tried at The Hague Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Ive no idea of a single team Elmander played for either before or after us. He just about alright with a superb midfield behind him and SKD doing his dirty work when he was playing for a contract. The money could have been spent so much better. Total anti climax when he signed, played out of postion but did fuck all to prove himself in the position he shouldve been. Crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Just remembered/checked on wiki he did alright with Galatasary. Still crap. Waste of money and too soft and slow for the prem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on. He’s one of my most disliked Bolton players. While I’m not excusing Coyles managerial inadequacies, Robinson, SKD, Sturridge, Holden and CYL showed plenty of fight, passion and determination. Unlike that 12 million powderpuff, anonymous, gutless and fucking passionless wanker. He was wearing the fucking best shirt in the world and never once did I feel it meant anything to him - the fucking shithouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marple whites Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Meant to have gone for a few cocktails the day before the semi. davies got there and turned around and walked straight back out saying what the eff was going on. jussi meant to have injured his hand in the warm up. the rest is the worst day I have known.

Worst for me too, been at games where we've conceded 5, 6, 7, relegations etc but that is the worst. It was possibly the only time an actual on pitch result has made me seriously think about sacking it all off, something in me got snuffed out that day that took months and months to bring back. Proper damaging, have you ever watched any of it since? I've never seen any of the goals a second time, barely saw a couple of them the first time round! As for Jussi I didn't know about the hand injury rumour. I remember it being around the time he seemed to keep sinking to his knees before a shot had even been taken giving strikers an easy finish though.

Traf Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 It wasn't just the scoreline v Stoke, it was the spineless manner of the defeat and the fact it was a big occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 plus I'd been at a wedding at Mere (the Vulcan minibus had to come there to pick me up at silly o clock on the day of the game) the day before and had the foulest of all hangovers.

Dr. Feelgood Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) I recall him sulking when Sturridge arrived & took the striker position from him. He didn't even congratulate Sturridge when he scored. His claim was that, due to that, he was leaving on a Bozman 6m later. He was always leaving on a Bosman. The skills he showed were proof that he had it, just too rarely produced it. The season Elmander signed, Steve Claridge, who I hate with a vengeance, predicted he'd be a flop & we'd hugely overpaid. The wanker was, regrettably, spot on. Edited December 18, 2021 by Dr. Feelgood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never watched it again. jussi apparently hurt his wrist warming up with the goalie coach and apparently could have done better with 1 or 2 of the goals with a firmer hand on it. that sole destroying never bothered to watch it back to look.
