what do these games have in common? and its not that we got beat (or score)

Is it that we didn't create one chance against them.

 

or that they are all completely shit and they still out played us.

they were wank but we were even wankier!!!!

didnt test their keepers. (apart from barness vs city) we have not given any keeper a save to make.

We Bolton fans consider all of them (except scum) to be relegation fodder.

 

I think the good run at the beginning of the season:

 

1. Was fortunate to say the least. Without it we'd be bottom of the league.

 

2. Made other clubs take notice of the way we play, especially after Sourness sulked like a baby.

 

Problem is, though, other teams seem to have altered their tactics to play against us. We have started looking pretty inept from a tactical point of view.

We dont seem to have a problem away from home in scoring.apart from against munich, we have done ok scoring wise.

at home we do not have a clue how to break a team down. sam needs to change the system at home.

I ain't no tactical genius. But here goes.

Our long ball, hump it into their box, in your face tactics do work!

Against fancy Dan teams - like Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle.

Unfortunately, when we try the same tactics against the lesser teams - they have a similar game plan / mentality as us and can cope with it easy.

Wait for the next home game against Arsenal - it will probably pay dividends again.

 

One question though, if Davies is so good in the air and able to win a huge percentage of long balls aimed at him.... then why do we not employ someone to collect the ball from him? Got to get Jay Jay in behind him, picking up the pieces and producing some magic high up the field.

i think at home teams sit back a little more and soak up our attacks. away from home we get more room.
