    I won't be coughing up a tenner on Saturday again.... I'd rather shove it into that fund for the Tonbridge Angels.

    Bolton were generally appalling tonight, the fact we couldn't beat a very poor side speaks volumes about where this club currently sits. A joke on and off the field.

    We could be in big trouble this season. The worst forward line in the football league and a defence waiting to give away a howler. And the club wonder why we have sold so few ifollow passes.

    I’m actually watching bake off with the Mrs rather than waste £10 on that rubbish

    Was at a castle yesterday with loads of torture equipment to view. My wife thought I was going mad, laughing to myself. I was just imagining Edin in them all.

    Their keeper was a shocker. Our players should have been told to pepper him. Whose job is that?
    Donno didn't get a look in, because he was up against a big, strong centreback. Bad tactics that. Whose job is that?
    Our supposedly fast, mobile loan forward from Wolves, was given 15 mins. Whose job is that?
    Love Macca to bits, but he's just not a very good manager in terms of tactics.

    Clarke shouldn't be taking penalties. That one he last scored was a scuffer. This one was worse. I'd much prefer Oconnor to put his laces through it.

    Second half was alright actually, compared to the first half. The young lad Hosannah was great. I think the only tactic Macca now has to employ, is to get the ball to him as much as possible. Lets try down the right hand side, now Wood seems to have lost his spark. Oconnor falling over just as he was about to cross, made me spit my tea all over the computer.

    Oh, and can someone please please start a petition to get rid of Andy "final third" Kiwomya. It's bad enough him coming out with all manner of nonsense, but to start playing the comb live on air while commentating, is next level!

    Bolton are a poor team, so what does that make City?

    Very obvious the club ran out of money after getting Watt and re-signing Cooke/O'Donnell and DMH.
    McCall was relaxed and wasn't going to rush in and was very happy when the window shut.
    The lack of width or pace or strikers that can score not ancient forwards stealing a wage.

    At least the club are not peddling the "ambition" guff or trying to get out of L2 anymore as they have been found out.
    The downward spiral continues.

    Two very poor teams
    The two biggest clubs in the division
    Both sides will not be anywhere near promotion contenders

    I've watched it a few times already. Notice though he gets lobbed and has already given up, he turns, see's it hit the bar and then has to go from a standing start. Notice Watt doesn't exactly bust a gut and catches O'Donnell and goes past him so for all he knows there is a Bolton player who has had forward momentum coming in. Even with his ability to use his hands there is still ground to be covered that an attacker could nip in. It's also going to be at an awkward height. He needed a call himself so then he could give Watt a call. And Watt should have dealt with it away, not head it goalwards

    It's always a gamble with a kid coming in from U21 football.

    They'd get absolute pelters if they came out and said that now, given that they voted against the salary cap.

    I agree Bolton were poor but they still should have won by more,

    Nah, there must have been loads of great clips on the iPad of his outstanding loan spell at Kidderminster in National League North last year.
