Match Thread Vertu Trophy - Bolton Wanderers (A)

That is some quality marking for that miss.

 

Hell you would like to think so.

 

those two moment suss up Byrne.... Outmuscled at the far post and then left his man a minute later when the cross came in

rubbish

 

2nd string, 3rd string, don’t matter, this is EMBARRASSING.

 

Last time i get all bold with my predictions

 

Shouldnt be anywhere near the squad.

he was talking up a trip to wembley before this game. Only way he’ll go is if he buys tickets for an England friendly.

 

Bloody awful finish to this match for City, alot of these players have given up.

 

So my page 2 statement of defeat and injuries is coming true
If only I had as much foresight for the euro millions
Poor management followed by poor performances all over the pitch
GA needs to give his head a shake

 

Being totally demolished, we've given up

 

He's not got going since he came back from injury. I dont think anyone will be coming in for Bobby in Jan, he needs to find ways to affect the game outside of scoring. Feels like the Huddersfield game was a lifetime ago but those goals were the last time he got a goal in open play and just 1 assist against Blackpool to his name this season.

Genuinely believe his lack of numbers outside VP will put teams off too. Looks like his last away assist in league football for City was against Colchester on Jan 13th 2024, nearly 2 years ago!

 

Bolton should be 6-0 up

 

I think he's got potential, his style of play is a lot like Elliott Watt and for me he is the long term replacement for Power but because of that he's not really got a place in the team whilst Power is playing every match.

 

Worst performance I’ve seen this season

 

Has cook even touched the ball? Again…….

 

For me i think he needs a loan back to L2.

he looks like he’s something about him and at times looks great, then he undoes it by taking wrong option.

there is a player there though, unlike with Leigh.

 

Alexander will be true in his assessment on tonight if he isn't then I will start to worry.
We have made it far to easy for Bolton tonight

 

As a couple above have said we’ve given up, we’re starting to make them look better than they are it’s embarrassing. Pointless singling anyone out at this stage as they are all culpable.

And what’s with all the stupid free kicks we keep giving away it totally stops the flow of the game.

 

We’re looking every part a U21’s team this evening. In fact, our U18’s would have probably showed up better.

 

He can’t be anything else.

No sugar coating an absolutely abject performance.

 

That's a tin hat statement ha ha
