You should be able to just click on the tweets, mate.

Charlton won 11 games last season - the fewest of any team outside the bottom 3. If you can't say we're better placed than them at the minute then you can't make any qualitative statements of any kind about football.

This is not a conversation that needs to be had.

I'm enjoying this little Twitter storm between the ex-players and Wolves.

Macca laying into them now.

Hard to prove a counterfactual, but I'd be fairly confident in putting that midfield in a team that worked properly everywhere else. Easily good enough to slot into a top League One side. Doesn't matter now, with Paris gone. We can only look at next season now. I'd not be getting rid of what we have...

its not in any way a piss take. A take...as in a bold opinion. Not as in a "piss take", Bertie. I obviously don't agree with you, but I don't begrudge you your view. I hold a lot of views about football that would have me in a minority, I'd suggest this is one of yours. I think most Bolton fans wou...

I will say as I've said previously that I don't rate our midfield at all, and think that its the weakest part of our team. Game of opinions, as they say. Have to say I find that one pretty amazing. Sheehan clearly our player of the season. Paris got young player. Thommo being talked of as a future ...

As delighted as when they scored three at our gaff? Interesting example, given the topic. Very rarely seen a team miss a player as much as we missed Santos in that one. Overall I'd say I'm precisely as delighted as you get to be by finishing 34 points above a team that's spending more money than yo...

I have a distant memory of the Charlton home game last season, and I was really impressed with their midfield going forward with the ball - their movement, mobility, pace and how quickly they moved the ball. We are very slow at moving the ball & lack intensity in a lot of games. Have to say I'm abs...

When thinking about how to win this division it's probably more helpful to look at the teams that have gone up recently, rather than the Bolton teams of days gone by.

I don't post much but I'm fairly sure I posted about needing physicality last season. I forget the game, maybe it was the playoffs, and maybe I thought it but didn't post it. :conf: You probably did. At various times people have noted the need to fix the flanks, the need for physicality, the need f...

In related news, Big John is laying into Wolves fans over on Twitter at the minute

Well, they run off at half-time... which, if they've hidden previously, looks like running away... As you say, you can have captains all over the pitch. The armband-wearer should set an example but increasingly Tomo has been doing the team gee-ups. Said it before but Todd's title-winning team had h...

As you say, most times we're ok to very decent. So it's more situational than baby being ejected with bathwater. Which is where Evatt needs to pick a solution and implement it well. When we were solid we didn't score enough. We're scoring enough now, but we're not solid. This group can do either, w...

GhostoftheBok

I would love if we can get that strong mentality from a cambatative player outside the current squad that Evatt can find to be captain. It's no longer normal for a manager to force a captain on a team and that would likely cause issues in itself. Players and staff tend to choose their leaders these...

GhostoftheBok

Well, it was a bit selective! :-) I agree, we don't necessarily need a world class DM. But last year's defensive unit to me, were all better defensively - probably including Traff. Defensively: Traff > Baxter Bradley > JDC Iredale > Williams MJ > Sheehan And if Thommo drops to 6, then one more for ...

GhostoftheBok

Go look at our line up the season before. Sheehan was mainly injured. Didn't start a lot. Quite a few we played Iredale LWB and had Duracell Bradley on the other side. Early doors, MJ was playing. Johnston played most. Again early, I thought Thommo worked as much at 6 as he did at 8. Completely dif...

We leaked 51 league goals and no one seems to want any defenders.

The season before we conceded 36, which this season would have been the best defensive record in the league.

Same defenders.

Don't recall Roy rocking up for too many games.

I think for me all I'd be looking for is a direct Maghoma replacment

Okay, I'm not quite that positive.

GhostoftheBok

Ah well, at least our keeper will just about do........ Small mercies, I suppose. "Buy half a dozen Championship-ready players" and "We're going to go bankrupt" don't seem to sit well together, but there you go. The reality is we need more ability in key positions and we new voices in the dressing ...

Until then I reserve the right to be a bit miserable some days

Yup. You have that right.

Something is rotten in the state of Lostock, but not everything.
