Site Supporter Cheese Posted January 5, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2022 Don't think Dixon is a bad keeper, but he lacks communication. Can we not get Gilks to stand behind our goal and scream his head off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 The type of football IE wants then we need a goalkeeper who’s good at playing it about and comfortable on the ball, for me he’s done ok in that department (apart from last night) but if we’re to play that way the defenders also need to be tuned in as we have seen on many occasions short pass backs and not making the correct angle for the goalkeeper creates unnecessary pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.cramp Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 For me dixon is very slow with his decision making, the amount of times he seems to be slow coming out for a ball and never fills me with confidence when he has the ball at his feet (see last night).

Think he would benefit next to a older pro who’s played at a higher level, I know it’s L2 but Baptiste next to him helped him so much.

Whitestar Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Your right something is wrong and needs to be put right soon. whatever the Wrong is has been going on for 15 years. Half time at Anfield on NYD 2007 to be precise. Ever since nothing about BWFC has seemed positive, its all make do and except 2nd best and be greatful. My old fella used to chuckle at me getting bothered about it even in the 70s , "if thas gonna follow this lot thas best get used tert disappointment kidda." Never a truer word.

Ghana White Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Heard a hartlepool fan outside say that's the best they've played all season which seemed a pretty depressing thought. was pretty poor although we were best team first half and with a bit more cutting edge could have scored.. second half not as great and the goal is best forgotten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that and I think I follow the same principals. I try and look at what I get from following Bolton and rather than what I don’t get. It’s probable that I’ll never see the team winning any of the major trophies so I see that as validation that I’m not a glory hunter as I could quite easily affiliate myself to a glory club. Fuck that I love my Bolton, warts and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted January 5, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2022 Fairly late on Gordon replaced John. In the ten minutes he got he showed more for the ball than John had done in the previous 85 minutes. Gordon was stood without any Hartlepool players on the left touchline and I don’t recall him being passed to. Our other defenders were too busy playing tippy-tap to each other to even notice the acres of space he was in. You know what has been continually said about the tippy-tap eventually going somewhere? Well maybe they could do some work in training on how to get from keeper to centre forward in less that four passes. It certainly worked a few times for Hartlepool.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted January 5, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2022 I doubt there’s above half a dozen people at the club who were there 15 years ago and four of them will be stewards.I’m not sure anything happening at half time at Anfield in 2007 can have any bearing on now.

I Hope Evatt steps up to the mark however I’ve now got few doubts creeping in, the aforementioned managers had previously served years apprenticeship and that’s what Evatt lacks, have we the time for him to serve his apprenticeship and reap the benefits, not sure, currently we are at the Phil Neal stage of management development with Evatt, could be the right man at the wrong time in his career.

He started in non league and he is still learning on the job. FV clearly know this is a project and they want him at the head of it. I’d imagine they expect him to make mistakes and learn from them and that’s already been done and will continue to do so. If when IE took over he said he’ll get us promoted and then we will have a mid table finish in league one we would have snapped his hand off. We can all be critical of what happens on the pitch but as fans sometimes we need a bit of perspective and patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitestar Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 But that it their only silverware ever, they nearly won the F A cup, they nearly won the europa League cup. They nearly stayed up a few times, they have nearly made the playoffs a few times, they have nearly managed to keep hold of a few decent players, they have nearly had thier hopes raised to the point where they even beloved they were a big club. Oh, so nearly. So nearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baring another miracle, we're not going up this season. After initial optimism, it seems from general opinion here that none of the players are great for league one, let alone the championship. For me, we have some who may well play higher, but things need to improve quickly or they may be picked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anyone predicting promotion at the beginning of the season was doing it with their heart, if not they’re were doing with an half empty head and probably the ones who are throwing their toys out of the pram that we aren’t top of the league. We’ll finish midtable which will be a good first season after promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emus wig Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 We had a great start probably over performed now we’ve got injuries and covid to a small squad . New players coming in hopefully injured players coming back mid table finish I’d be happy with that . It’s a work in progress we have no divine right to go straight through league 1 bit of patience required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
