Santos has his faults but his passing is the best I've seen from a Bolton defender in donkeys years. Fact that he's captain is also a reason he'll come straight back in (Lee is great, but no captain). But if Santos is "75% fit" (whatever that means) let's not rush him back, the replacements are decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrycowdrill Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Aimson is a very solid dependable defender. I can’t say a bad word about it where that’s concerned. But the way we play and what Evatt expects of his defenders isn’t just about defending. Santos as our leading CB, captain and probably best 1v1 defender waltzes straight back in. Not even a debate the one who should be looking over his shoulder is Jones. Toal is coming on very strongly indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted December 28, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 28, 2022 I also liked wheater In his younger days he was a very good player and even at our he was decent I actually think he couldve been an evatt player Beevers though, fucking hell 5 iron You sure boss Oh, try a 7 Ive only got a 5 5 is is then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, those were the days For a glorious period when their careers overlapped, Mills would hit it into WSL then Knight would launch it into ESL, not sure who was worse in possession. I'll go with Knight on the basis he was probably getting paid about 3 times as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of them are good enough tbh. Was surprised to see Kachunga come on before Bod. Unless JDB isn't properly right following his surgery. If all 4 are fit as backup to the 1st choice of Charles and Dapo id say Bod, Baka are the best 2 in reserve with Sadlier and Kachunga getting splinters on the bench. Wouldn't be too fussed if Baka, sadlier and kachunga left in Jan if we can use the wages on someone to challenge for a starting place.

He's nowhere near good enough. We cannot rely upon him when the moment comes to it, which can be the difference between promotion or not. His chance yesterday, his performances all season and his statistics all back that up. If we are going to be a more goal scoring and punishing relentless team, it's going to have to be a team without players such as Kachunga. Looking defensively, I've been really impressed with the current back 3 who all defend aggressively. I would really like to see a back 3 of Johnston, Santos and Toal. I think this is our best lineup, with Gethin and Aimson on the bench. Toal looks fantastic. Can do all the good defending, but is also not fazed by pressing strikers, carries the ball out and can even provide an attacking threat like yesterday with a great delivery from outwide. I've also been surprised by his recoveries and acceleration at times. Johnston 24 years old, Rico 27, Toal at 23. Could be a solid partnership for years to come hopefully.

If we are talking midfield hes never done anything of note to command a place. Hes not fit to lace Kieron Lees boots and hes fuck all chance of getting anywhere near further up top. Id have bod and baka in front of him and that's not even bringing Dapo into it. He will end up at a club below us at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
