Match Thread Vertu Trophy - Bolton Wanderers (A)

I think you’ll be waiting a while.

 

This press is diabolical and causing us so many problems. There's no committal to be on the heels of the opposition, we're five yards off every single time and they're playing it around at ease.

 

Very poor team selection no excusing it. People will say it’s a pointless competition which I agree, but we know Graham takes it seriously so this could be a line up we see in the league worryingly. I really do feel for Metcalfe it’s not good for a young players development been played out of position regularly and hung out to dry. Could say the same if happens int with Kav when he plays.

GA’s success has been high pressing football with square pegs in square holes. Something which has gone missing this last month or so.

 

the midfield is very poor.

 

We have some first choice players out there but we are so weak in key positions. What its showing is their fringe players are light years ahead of ours.

 

This defeat could be morale sapping, and it will take 5-6 games for the guys to recover..

 

Get Lapse off now , like a fish out of water in this position, nearly let them in for a third time . Neuf will give the lad on the left something to think about . Leigh is he playing ?

 

They made only 6 changes according to the comms.

 

dont shout but Power is overrated....

 

Has halliday played since the Barney with max power?

 

He can’t beat his man so offers nothing in an attacking sense. He's really a pop up in the box type of player.

 

Feels like Lapslie has been hung out to dry!

 

Because Sissoko is goal-hanging on the far left on the halfway line but fair play to them, its working.

 

Cheltenham

Brad cant get a match....when Byrne keeps stinking the team sheet out.

 

They made 9 changes from the weekend. Only one of their CBs and Simons in midfield survived from the weekends starting lineup.

 

Metcalfe would flourish playing amongst that Bolton midfield. Noticeable difference in how both midfields move the ball.

 

That's a sitter from metcalfe not sure why he's laughing. I didn't find it very funny!

 

Commentator said Bolton 9 changes.
