Evatt denied the accusations of abusive language immediately. He's accepted his own behaviour could be better previously, and I reckon he would have owned up this time. On that basis, I tend to believe him. That said, without any direct evidence either way, I'm a bit surprised that they've not backed the referee.

Guess as it was in the tunnel then the fourth official and linesmen might not have been nearby and there was no one to back up the ref's claim Evatt may well have have used language that justified a red but without anyone else hearing it then it's overturned as unproven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love working with these lads, I love working for this football club and we are certainly going to give it our all. “There are 11 games to go, so it is about keeping that togetherness now, the strong unity as a football club – not just us, everybody – and giving it the best possible shot we can. “It has been a really hot pace, really tough. And we are going to do our best to stick with it.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 How does he think we all felt? Fuck me its the lowest Ive felt in 30 years after those two shit shows. Some things are better not said Ian lad.

BWFC_LOVE Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I’m concerned the fans took their criticism too far in the last week without looking at the bigger picture. Yes it happens at all clubs, and maybe players/staff need to avoid looking online. Atmosphere was horrendous Saturday (not unusual of course), but it was notable that I didn’t once hear a chant for Evatt. I get that emotions are running high after two derby losses, but the man has a 51%+ win percentage, has done an awful lot more good than bad, and he’s proven me wrong when we’ve been had the occasional bad run with every season he’s been in charge. I’ve learnt to trust the process with him. The more negativity drags on, not to mention towards the players too, and especially considering we actually won to nil on Saturday, the more I feel we could undo all the progress we've had in the last four years. Some of the comments I’ve seen in Evatt’s direction on Twitter are vile. Quite personal and I’ve no doubt he’s seen them. We have this manager and squad up until the rest of the season regardless. Our best chance of going up is getting behind them. It’s no coincidence our form has taken a downturn since Baxter’s injury either. I’m not blaming Coleman, but Baxter was very solid and the team bred confidence as a result. I feel like Coleman/defence are a bit shaky and lacking coordination, and this is flowing through the rest of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrycowdrill Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Doesn’t take any degree of criticism the fella. on the whole what he’s done for the football club over the past 3 years or so has been fantastic. But it doesn’t mean you’re not open to criticism. Whether it’s because as a fanbase people expect too much or the standards the team set have been too high I don’t know. But then you start regularly calling out for the fan base for more backing or for things they’re commenting on it can go south very quickly we haven’t felt as connected to the football club for many years. Shown in the sales at home and the brilliant followings away. With that comes scrutiny and if you can’t live with it then go somewhere else. It’s Bolton wanderers ffs it’s not as though he’s managing United or Real Madrid. if we don’t go up then for all the good work the blame will rest firmly at his door. Regular “unacceptable” performances from the team that then occur again and he’s been backed heavily by the board for this level of football. That might be a good position for him to bow out then end up at some lower end champ side like Stoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted March 4 Moderators Share Posted March 4 100% behind him but when you talk about unity etc being important don't say things like that If he is getting it from certain quarters for whatever reason, that won't help He's not getting it from the stands Stay off twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 4 Site Supporter Share Posted March 4 He's had his own video/off pitch issues to deal with too, which won't have helped. He's certainly an emotional character, and probably just being open, but it isn't great timing for sure. He's said himself that social media is dangerous, and warned his players, but if those same players also read his comments, they may feel conflicted too. Hopefully it's just sommert and nowt, and will blow over. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
