Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Home V Bolton Sat 6th March. 3pm kick off.

Long time lurker. First time poster. Just signed up so I can try to figure out how to block 'Fordy' so that I can countenance continuing to read the forum. He must be on the wind up cause nobody could possibly be so, but nevertheless I can take no more.

How do I block please?

Amazing finish by Rowe btw. Sweet strike with the ball coming across him. No doubt Fordy reckons he should have had it on string, recalled it and scored again, or it's not worth it

 

Grow up!!

Ignore me all you want..Give it out to me but don't be a coward.

 

The fact both teams are even considering the prospect of promotion right now given where we were 2 months ago is quite amazing.

Like you indicate, there is a long way to go and many tough games ahead. However, we are sniffing about now and you guys have firmly muscled your way into it. I suspect an exciting 2 months ahead!

 

Could we play Rowe in Verhams place? Vernham has misfired for a few games now, but with the pitch at Cardiff he could be a real asset. We need Rowe on the pitch somehow because he attracts defenders, which in turn makes space for others

 

When I first started reading posts on this forum there was one individual who used to get my back up: take a bow @Fordy117
But then I realised he relishes the 'bad boy' tag. He loves making crass statements that get people's backs up.
And once I twigged this I then was able to actually see that occasionally our Fordy does have some intelligent and worhwhile points to make.
But he loves the role of pantomime villian and this forum would be a duller place without him.

 

They beat us with a lucky gifted goal and we missed a pen, at the time they were terrible but so were we. Two totally different sides now, biggest two clubs in the league and the two in form. It’s simply the biggest game in league 2 this season and one I can’t wait for. No idea what to expect, a draw wouldn’t be bad but we’ll be going out to win as always.

Win and we’re one of the favs for promotion no two ways about it, I can see one of us getting promoted but not both tbh so this could be a deciding factor come game 46.

 

I will be honest shell, I would take a competitive draw in this game - for me the key is just to lift our levels a bit from the past couple of matches because at some stage you cant just 'grit out' results. A slightly more positive, impressive performance and a draw would not upset me one bit.
Of course I would be even more happy with 3 pts

 

Its a wonderful problem to debate on here but a I don't envy the final call Trueman & Sellars have to make! Whoever they choose, I'll certainly back their reasoning for it!

Suppose the argument for Rowe is that he seems to be able to make something for himself from absolutely nowhere which is often so vital in big games like this. But if Bolton do like to press then Cook gives us a bit more of a focal point to go long if needed and get Cooke, Vernam & Evans/Crankshaw involved at the right end of the field.

 

I can accept that if players are running at goal or defenders are wrong sided but a lot of the free kicks against Mansfield were given away when the attackers were going nowhere. I can't imagine that's a deliberate ploy, it'd be absolutely stupid if it were.

 

Completely agree. I still think you'll win tomorrow. Look at Bolton's last 8-9 results ...they've used up their season's luck. A team can't keep winning in the last 10 minutes, 8 minutes and 3 minutes of added time. Remember they were meant to set the league alight this year....really want you to put them back in their box. And as for their fans' sense of entitlement......don't get me started!!

 

The club does. They make money from it.

 

Matchday beers....well erm, first half anyway.

 

They like a man with money.

More than welcome to come and have an afternoon on the beers (when we're out of lockdown). I've always said City fans can have a few drinks on the house! Waiting for @River_City_Bantam to take me up on the offer!

 

Totally agree. “Very entertaining game”. Imo it’s been very scrappy with not much quality. Keepers had any saves to make? Don’t think so.
I think whoever scores first, wins this.

 

Wonder if Bolton might think about bringing Doyle on in the second half..lol..

 

Would like to see Crankshaw and Vernam swap sides for a bit.

 

Andy K as gone up 5% in my estimation

 

Straight down the Record Cafe to talk about the goal. Then over to the Sparrow to talk about how fortunate we were to get a point. Then off to the International to talk about AK spazzing out live on air. Ahhh... heady days.
