Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Bolton Wanderers (away) - Carabao (League) Cup

Especially as the same can be said about City, given the turnover in personnel. Although it could only improve given some of the departures.

 

People saying they need time to gel but don’t mention how good we can be with 3 or 4 new arrivals

 

I thought we passed the ball quickly at times and had good movement off the ball. I didn't particularly think we were very slow today at all. I think we played well for long spells, defending well and attacking well.
Doyle didn't have a sniff today.

 

The Round Two draw is unseeded and will remain regionalised with northern and southern sections.

Upon its conclusion, the Round Three draw will then take place with each tie given a number in the order that they came out in the Round Two draw.

Fixtures will then be subject to another unseeded draw on an either/or basis, alongside the seven Premier League clubs competing in Europe who enter at this stage.

Having the draws conducted together will enable the EFL, clubs and broadcasters to plan with additional clarity and certainty over a busy period of fixtures whilst supporters are unable to attend fixtures.

Joining the Carabao Cup at the second-round stage are the 13 Premier League clubs who are not competing in Europe in the 2020/21 season.

These include Everton, West Ham and Wolverhampton Wanderers in addition to Sky Bet Championship sides Bournemouth and Watford.

The remaining clubs - Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal - will join in Round Three.

 

Pleased for Stuart today and the players, but....,

why does he take criticism so personally? During the interview he mentioned what the reaction would’ve been had we lost. Almost having a pop at fans who dare to question the recruitment and who’ve seen the continual demise of the club over the last 3 or so years.
Why not say, he hopes to win them round by putting in the kind of performance we saw today on a regular basis. It’s almost as if, like him and you’re ok, criticise him and you can do one.

He’s going to be scrutinised, that’s the nature of the beast unfortunately.

 

I notice that there are lots of people echoing Stuarts comments and are 'not getting carried away'. I don't suppose we can get an undertaking that there's a similarly measured reaction following our first defeat of the season when it comes.

 

Last game of the 2011/12 season - 5th May 2012.
So yes, that is just over a 3 month gap as is normal every off season

 

Watch Quest last night and he was not happy with the result, quoting the possession they had, well Mr
Evatt it's not having the ball but more what you do with it, certainty in the final third, on the day Doyle looked very much like the Eion Doyle we had very little involvement in the game.

 

19 passes and we did not touch the ball my arris, the final touch before Saravic scored , was Anthony Occonnor and if he had got a better connection, they would not have scored. Deluded . Possession does not win games, goals do, i also don't recall them having another shot on target . One of the easier games for Richard Odonnell.

 

The favourites tag comes from lots of people betting on Bolton and driving down the odds. That's about it in my eyes

 

Don't deny that but a victory for Bradford is not a reason for some, to be dismissive of Bolton.

Evatt will be learning. He will adapt. Bolton will be a learning curve. Looking at his past credentials, I suggest he can adapt. He was one of my choices, along with Pete Wild before Macca got the job. I like the idea of newbies getting a high profile job and not living off their past, Bowyer, grayson...

Can I ask you it this way, if we was to finish above Bolton, how good a season do you think we will have?

 

Honestly thought more of you mate, ANY site containing "Soccer" not to be trusted

 

It's nice to see both Doyle and Vaughan leading the divisions top scoring charts _ _ _ oh wait a minute ! !

 

What do you mean get used to division 2 again? They've never been in this division. Go have a read of the comments Bolton fans are making about their side, their manager is starting look daft with his post match comments already. Instead of making bold statements he'd have been better off tempering expectations and telling fans to be patient. Might take them a season or two with 16 new recruits.

 

I used ifollow perhaps 3 or 4 times last season, the picture quality is good, and in game stats are good, just one match the picture and comentry were out of sync. But was happy to purchase my season ticket in the knowledge I will watch most games on ifollow. Even away games at £10 represent good value when you consider the cost of tickets and travel

 

I've been using it for the past three seasons. Each season has got better. The quality is good, the commentary is in sync, and there's now even replays and half time highlights. If you watched the game vs Town on Youtube, it's a millions miles away from that in terms of quality.
My new season kicks in on the 2nd, so I'm waiting for that to get processed before I can say I can access the match correctly. Sometimes there are a few teething problems.

 

If I remember correctly he was notified of a goal at a game by a flashing red light.

 

Let's hope the 'someone' isn't former Bradford City winger, Andy Kiwomya.
