Traf Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Interesting to read everyone's take on the game. I thought it was a good game for a 0-0, two decent enough teams wanting to win but not wanting to lose and therefore nullifying each other to a degree. Dion should have scored. Subs upset the flow of the game : again New back three impressive again, I like Toal, he's raw & keen and has a good attitude towards defending. He's likely to drop a clanger here and there, but so far so good, reminds me a little of Mark Came. It wasn't a bad point, play like this away at Lincoln/Barnsley and we emerge 4pts better off and we've had a good festive period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody knew if he would make it before then, few can doubt it any more, he's definitely L1 standard and may get better. Brings something different with his galloping, positive style. Reminded me of Came from day one but I didn't mention it as he's clearly far better technically than Came (but less physical). A caller on Radio Manc said the same, so its not just us. I don't think Toal will be playing as an emergency CF any time soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger_Dubuis Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I thought Bolton had to give it 100% to match a Derby team that coasted through the match.I'll be shocked if Derby don't win the return fixture and finish higher in the table.The wages being paid no doubt reflects this.Evatt should be praised for how well Bolton defended today.

Add to that the fact I was stood in front of someone that kicked up a fuss to get a Carling top last week, my faith in our fan base's ale taste is none to high. 😂 This tops mushy peas on Christmas Dinner. Carling fucking top! 🤣 It's also £4.85 for a pint of the piss now and it's going up again in April apparently. Absolute horse shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might finish higher (by cheating, scrapping, fouling and mauling to a higher position) but fuck me they’re a terrible watch, even on a bad day we were much better footballing team. If they are paying bigger wages which I don’t doubt it, then the players they have are laughing all way to the bank because they aren’t even close to being anything but bang average.

barrycowdrill Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) They were actually one of the worst *better sides I’ve seen here the last couple of seasons. Just very workman like. there’s absolutely nothing stand out between first and 7th or 8th. Just all down to consistency. We go from a 8/10 to a 5 then a 7 then a 4 etc etc the top 3 seem to stay at a 7/10 more often and even when they dip to a 5 come away with something whereas we throw it away (like Shrewsbury) Edited December 28, 2022 by barrycowdrill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted December 28, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 28, 2022 As soon as santos is fit, hes straight back in Hes the best header in the team abd he allows us NOT to go long to bradley as he can take the ball from traf. Johnston is ok, toal maybe, but Aimson, while a decent defender, is not one you want having the ball 20 yards out Hes a fucking enormous miss Deary me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radcliffe white Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Not saying he shouldn’t feature again however that defence is unchanged in 2 games and played very well in both, so if they continue he waits simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at defenders in L1 past & present they score a good few goal, yes his jobs to defend but attacking wise he offers nothing when really for his size and being a good header of the ball should, aimson & johnston have assists & goals under their belts since joining some won’t like this but santos ain’t fit to lace wheater or beevers boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
