Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

IF we go up fwiw I think we need a centre back with pace and power for one of the flanks. Ideally one who could also cover the santos role. A RWB with more quality than JDC. A LWB who can defend better than Williams - Randell still useful but will be games we need more solidity. A proper monster cen...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Our lads out of contract in summer: Nat Ogbeta Zac Ashworth Declan John Jon Dadi Bodvarsson Cameron Jerome interestingly JDB's new contract had a year extension triggerable by appearances, although it was never made clear how many. He made 46 appearances in all comps (18 starts), 36 in the league (...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

In feeling there are some parallels to 1999. That year we finished 6th and Watford finished one point above us in 5th. Somehow we both our play off rivals who finished many points ahead of us and ended up in the final. Although iirc Watford had already beaten us twice that season and finished a poin...

Let the ticketing chaos commence! Sorted mine in less than 15 minutes from actually getting onto the system. No issues. Never really have had any issues with the online ticketing system. Interesting to see that there appear to be plenty who are struggling with it... There is definitely room for imp...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs TBC. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

Not saying that we will lose I merely want us to show Oxford the respect we should afford them. They have the ‘finished 6th’ momentum and the way they nullified Peterborough was the way some teams have had success against us this season. On the plus side I think if we play at our best and take our c...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs TBC. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

There's a big step between confident and complacent. I doubt I'd have much to compare between our recent performances and theirs, but we should absolutely view them as the team that's got every bit as far as us and knock outs don't give chances to come back next game (at this point). I want us to b...

Darren Ferguson showing his usual horrendous lack of class. Battered them, they didnt deserve to go through, Oxford just got lucky. It’s not what I watched Darren. You had a lot of the ball. Didn’t do much with it. It's about scoring goals Darren. Nice football gets no cigars. Deserve has nothing t...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs TBC. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

Oxford were really very good tonight. They did what we struggle to, defend. That’s all they did. Peterborough completely ran out of steam for me. If they defend like they did tonight that’s a tough game. No game is easy. I’d still prefer our chances against Oxford than Peterborough. And there is a n...

I don’t think anyone needs to worry about getting a ticket. Can’t see us selling more than about 25K.
They're a bit pricey but I think we'll shift a fair few.
25K I think will be a fabulous effort at those prices and with shy of two weeks notice.

Re: Five Year EFL Deal: Death of the 3pm?

Sky reveal more details. Before the season starts they'll announce their TV picks from August to the FA Cup Third Round weekend. By November they'll announce the Jan-March picks, then shorter notice thereafter while they see where the stories are. They say they're doing this to minimise fan disrupt...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

Rico had a shocker for their second, and nearly lost it in the first half under no pressure. Thought he was hard done to for the first though. Toal stopped his run after Santos head had gone down. A small mistake but I think it's emblematic of when we're bad, which is when we get caught between two...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

I slightly disagree on Collins. I mean he’s not the most natural ‘press type’ but he works incredibly hard. He always wants the ball. He’s clearly trying to add the press to his game. Phil Brown on the radio after the game said he thought he and Charles were the best partnership he’d seen at Bolton ...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

And Maghoma can’t just drift off and stop because he doesn’t fancy tracking back. I agree with this completely. The guy is a hell of a talent and the only player in our team who can unlock defences like he does with his twisting and turning and incisive passes, but on many occasions I see him meand...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

On Santos.. Bloke in front of me summed him up perfectly. "He gets bored and does something stupid" and after he said it, it does feel like that. He can sometimes be so comfortable and dominant that it can seem easy, so he tries Cruyff turns and flicks that backfire. He needs to cut that out. As go...
