Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
There is no good reason to play 3 at the back, bottom line is we can recruit into a 4131 far more easily it suits more of our players and even if you say the main ones it doesn’t suit are Charles and Santos…both of those might not be here…… If Evatt is manager he's shown before he actually prefers ...

I think you're saying, probably doesn't get in the way of us, but might hinder his personal development in future. If that's correct, then I genuinely don't care.

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
One of me mates' sons landed his 1st pro, so he's pretty happy with it. Alongside what you say Ghost, wonder if Jerome's non-contract for "upstairs gig" is tied to us not making it up a rung? Not surprised other than that. Congrats to the kid. Huge moment for any young man. It may well be a case of...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
But I think over time I’ve realised that Evatt’s particular ego is a front to cover up his own self doubt. Did the self-help books and "Jesus needs me to be in the Premier League" not give it away to you on day one? Doubt is healthy. Avoiding it is the weakness. If Evatt can stop avoiding it it'll ...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
^^ Gotta be honest, although I want him gone, this non-story doesn't tilt the needle for me and whilst I could try and build a "here's what I reckon," I don't actually know first hand what goes on, but for me the reason he has to go, remains as "fecked it up royally and spinelessly." One thing he di...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
Yeah, I wasn't arguing the point. Merely sort of agreeing with you, with a bit of an extra worry. Evatt might be on a promotion season and people could still turn on a sixpence at the first sight of a hiccup. "Here we go again" is bound to be a concern, even when we're going well. Think we're sayin...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
TBF, I think Ainsworth has fewer votes in favour than keeping Evatt - he's got one with maybe a second pick after Duff from Dibs...Move on. The "get ridders" sometimes don't help themselves much... :-) They don't, but equally your point about "dead man walking" isn't miles off. Like I say, every pr...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
I doubt anyone is using one result to define Evatt's career JSF....if they were, then I doubt the vote would be in it's current state, because if all you knew was that one game, he's probably never managing again...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
If Evatt goes, it needs to be someone else who can get the most out of a team designed to play out from the back, to dominate the ball. Oxford did that too. Ruben Rodrigues isn't getting in a Paul Warne team. I'm happy with play out from the back, as long as it has some purpose and direction. If it...

Agree mate and no one wants us to play hoofball. It's just a dreamt up witch...look what you're going to get if we move away from the known to the unknown. Pompey played decent enough football from what I saw, probably alongside some turgid dig a result out stuff as happens to all teams on occasion...

Last para. Can't see that happening because he won't believe it, so even if he tried, it would be difficult to pull off and there are almost certainly better managers for any lock, stock and barrel scenario ( by which I mean, if you changed to everyone's favourite witch, hoofball, there's certainly ...

This is the stay camp all over - they try to make you believe there's a "like button," when, in fact there is none as should be plain to see.

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
I am somewhat concerned that the positioning of the 8's was part of the plan, which would have taken some mighty brave out-balls to find them under the circumstances. Whilst not thinking Ric covered himself in glory, the movement in front of him was awful. Absolutely agreed. If it was the plan, it ...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
Not sure anyone, anywhere, ever has said that Evatt should carry on as he is. I've repeatedly said he needs to change. I can't speak for all stay-voters, but I'm confident they all think the same to a greater or lesser extent. There's a serious conversation to be had, and it'd be lovely if it start...
