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

On the Evatt criticism, I hear what you say regarding players on the pitch to sort it, but I often wonder where the balance is between them taking an "executive decision" (like 2 8's dropping deeper) vs what they've been told to do through the week. It's not like the manager isn't right there next ...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

OK. We need four players for next season. Who are they, or what types?

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

That was awful. Properly, properly awful. Oxford fans on the tube platform were genuinely mystified by "how shit" we were. They were not alone at all. Tactically... sheesh. Our back three didn't have the stones to pass it forward, but in their (ha) defence they didn't have anybody to pass to. Why? •...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Barnsley release Devante Cole (29), Jordan Williams (24), Robbie Cundy (26), Herbie Kane (25) and Nicky Cadden (27). Feels like they're battening down the financial hatches. Sunderland release Corry Evans (33), Bradley Dack (30), Jack Diamond (24) and Ellis Taylor (21). Preston release Greg Cunningh...

Tickets sorted - the Mighty Flanners treating me for my 50th birthday (it was, you may recall, the day after the first leg). We will, obviously, be tracing precisely the same transport route we did for the Pizza Cup final, and indeed sitting in very similar seats (they were level with 18-yard line, ...

Joe Allen worth a look in midfield? Might be a bit long in the tooth now...
Not sure about that - was only quoting re Ogbeta - but now you mention it, Przemyslaw Placheta has been mentioned by Ghost as a potential attacking LWB option.

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

Only once did we break through the 50,000 barrier in the 70s and yes, that was Everton for the league cup. Just once did we surpass 40,000 in the league (Sunderland 1975) Utd, City and Liverpool in the league were all healthy 30,000 + crowds but obviously included a high number of away supporters. ...

I’m nervous but determined to go and enjoy the day. I really hope everyone else on here who is going enjoys it as do those who aren’t. I’m not ashamed to admit the last few months have been personally very tough for family reasons I won’t go into and it’s taken a big toll on me personally. Whatever...

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

I've really enjoyed this season. Some great games, goals, occasions etc. Feck ups v Wigan, disgraceful reffing performance at Blackpool and a general feeling that we're a better side than our points tally, aside - there haven't been many better. The whole memory though, and whether its been a succe...

The 2 Parkinson seasons that ended with the pitch invasions had happy finale's but both were turgid, boring seasons with some absolutely shocking football and results into the mix. Remembered for their relative successes, not for their enjoyment. Most of that Championship season was spent watching ...

Fitted for suits. Like it's a jolly day out. This lack of focus is why we'll never get anywhere.

Ethan Erhahon at Lincoln is someone I would like us to look at. Definitely Championship-bound, that lad.
They've said this week they expect him to break their incoming transfer record, which is currently £640,000.

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Leicester forum reaction seems to coalesce around "maybe a lower-half Champo / upper League One player". Most think he's better as a LWB than LB in a four, but there's a few warning notes over lack of physicality. And they really do hate Chilwell. https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/134853-luke-thomas...

Cole is an odd one. feel like he may be a league one player…
One goal and one assist in 24 second-tier appearances (albeit 16 of them as sub, not always in the middle of the front 3, and most importantly all for a plummeting Barnsley). Also turns 30 next May. Not sure he'd top my list.

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Interested to see Barnsley's retained/released list when it emerges. Per Transfermarkt, among those falling out of contact are Devante Cole, Nicky Cadden, Herbie Kane and Jordan Williams. Jamie McCart's also been listed by Rotherham, whence he was loaned to the Tykes... Maybe they'll all go to Hudd...
