Match Thread Bolton Wanderers (away) - Carabao (League) Cup

Of course he's going to say that.

Look for me Bolton will do a Plymouth but be better. I expect them to get off to a slow start but will be up there for sure.

 

Not at all I know your a busy man and little things like when the season starts are well down your list of important events.

 

Thanks mate..We have to look after each other.

 

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.

 

Dave I was unable to watch yesterday. Is the commentary on away games still done by Radio Leeds on I follow or is it done by the home team

My stream had two lads from Bolton yet others say if you have Ifollow you can use either.

 

Yes you have a choice on ifollow. If you go into the settings icon on the bottom right of the screen you can choose home or away commentary.

 

Fair points Broncs. I was at the game, seems to me Evatt may be coming under pressure already from comments I overheard. I think expectation is that promotion is a given and true, they will take time to blend the 17 signings, plus 2 more to come apparently. That said we took them apart first half and could have been 2 or 3 up before we scored. Had a tough 20 minutes after HT then shook ourselves, don't recall ROD making a save of any note.
Evatt has two more home games this week with Crewe tomorrow, they have lost to them already 3-0 in a pre season, then FGR on Saturday who will rough them up.
From our point quite a few positives bearing in mind that of our 18 we had 2 debuts, 4 who had been out on loan most of last season, 1 first year pro and 2 who had signed in Jan and hardly played before lock down. We looked a team with some spirit and a bit of skill who were well drilled. Long may it continue.

 

Thanks for that, really appreciated. So good we got it twice(sounds like the basis for a song).

 

Longridge is a LB.
Staunton played as a CB on the left of a 3.

 

Staunton can play left back though, if he progresses i'd expect Lonridge to be released.

 

Yes, your iFollow purchase

 

Not sure about that, he just blocked a shot.

 

I was maybe a touch harsh, but I think he should have done better in terms of clearing his lines.

 

Its a strange one. I know the Scottish leagues are low in quality, but he seemed very highly rated by the fans of whichever club we signed him from (can't remember who). He hasn't had many chances, so i'm guessing his training performances probably tell us all we need to know. That said, I think he'll probably start tomorrow night.

 

Mr Evatt still beefing about the loss saying they totally out played us and that their goal was well worked. If O'connor had got a better touch to the ball they wouldn't have scored at all ,he certainly doesn't like the fact his super team got beat by a better team. If the pressures getting to him after one loss then he wont be around long if his side take a while to gel.

 

I caught the Derby v Barrow game and Barrow certainly looked a better outfit than Bolton in the two games.

 

There's no way he said that surely? Outplayed us but created one chance all game. Sure thing Ian.

And if he thought their goal was well worked, I take it he said the same about our two? Which were far superior.

 

Brand new team, mostly strangers, assembled out of necessity rather than choice, with players with fragile egos (Doyle)...

Yeah, I think I personally would be saying something similar as well.
