Match Thread Bolton Wanderers (a)

There's no ground to be covered. He's a metre away from Watt. Look where he is when Watt heads the ball. He can jump and close that gap and catch the ball.

 

They'd get hammered if they said it now, but not at the time. And I dont believe we voted against the cap.

 

It is but he also needs to get a proper chance not 10/15 minutes here and there.

Clarke isn't a forward. He's shouldn't be playing as a forward. Samuels should have started to give him a chance.

Dear oh dear.

That was pathetic.

Cooke crap. Clueless Clayton. Watt on earth was he thinking.

At least we had quite a lot of time in their half where we did okay. Playing out from the back is disastrous time and again.

If Crawford weren't utter dogmeat in front of goal it would have been 3 0 again.

Sorry, Stuart, but even in a season where we have no apparent ambition, this is hard to swallow.

Too many terrible players

 

100% agree with this. The decision to keep Guthrie when apparently there was a chance to offload is a reflection of the poor decision making that exists through so many parts of this club. I don’t want to bash Guthrie, but right from the start anyone with any clue of football could tell that with what had on the books we needed something else up front. Don’t make the right call and we've ended up where we always do.

 

Hey Bronco

McGod?

McClown, McCrap

 

He did start against against Newport and offered little.

No ambition, as proven when you look at our 4 strikers.

Honestly Donaldson whats the point....may as well play a kid up there running about if only we had one!!!!

 

Yes I'm still hear, I wont shy away because of the likes of yourself, enjoy your celebratory drink.

 

lose on Saturday and he has to go for me. I think the form is worse than under Bowyer.
Loved Stuart as a player but his managerial stints have been very poor, even when we got to the playoff final, he ballsed it up with negative tatics on the day.
Can someone tell me what exactly Kenny black brings to the table . has to be the worse assistant we have ever had, and there has been some right dross over the years.

 

Fair point. He's young though. If he was thought good enough he needs a run to build up a relationship with A.N.Other up front.

 

Pathetic, O'Donnell could see the ball in front of him a simple call was all that was needed, another poor call and this guys our Captain.

 

Guthrie is truly dreadful. The decision to spend money on him is dumbfounding. And if we have indeed turned away offers to take him, that’s as bad if not worse. But he’s not alone. We’re stacked full of players who simply aren’t good enough, and there isn’t balance. The only players I’d have any time for taking into next season would be Wood, POC, Watt, Cooke, Pritchard and possibly Novak. And some of those would only be squaddies and most would need to be much more consistent. The young lads in their breakthrough season get a pass, obviously. No idea what to make of most of them, but there’s no way we should be relying on any.

We need a huge rebuild from the top down. 75% of the squad needs to change, the manager needs to change, the CEO needs to change and the Owner needs to either change, or more ambitiously back a trusted CEO. We’re a fundamentally broken club.

Just wait though, you know who will be along shortly to tell us all how we’ve ‘only lost by a single goal to the pre-season favourites, and even then only by a mistake at the back and missed penalty’.

 

They wouldn't have got hammered as much if they'd said it at the time, but there would still have been plenty of people up in arms about it and arguing that we were missing a golden opportunity to get out of this god awful league.
As for the salary cap, I'm convinced we did vote against it, secure in the knowledge that our vote would be completely meaningless.

 

He offered little because he was asked to play on the right wing.
As Botswana said, I'd have liked to have seen him have a start, in his correct position. Especially today against a big lump at the back and a keeper who has dodgy positioning.

 

I get no pleasure from saying it' but its men's football and I'm not sure he's mentally ready, I thought we could get a result tonight but the way we played first half was a continuation of Saturday and that cant be allowed to continue.
