Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Whilst the defence is unquestionably an issue, how much of that is because we are seemingly much more attacking this season. With a total of 121 goals scored this year, it's obvious the trade-off has been with defensive rigidity. That's part of my grump. Something around 30% we'd have to score 3 or...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Hmm, well I wrote a post and then got booted. Plus side, it'll save you all a lot of reading. Basically, the main issues with our defending isn't who's in the back 3, it's where we lose the ball and how often the defenders have possession when we attack. Wide players who can dribble past defenders ...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Presumably Paris is the #1 target in midfield. Sheehan is player of the year and everyone else is under a long contract. So I suppose it depends on whether Evatt feels that department is strong enough as is and just needs a reliable Championship player, or if he thinks it needs a big boost. Strongl...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Hmm, Worthy wants someone a bit more solid. I prefer Randall defensively, suspect Bradley might cost a few quid, but Ogbeta for me doesn't bother nearly enough defensively..

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
I have Ogbeta as improving going forwards, wanting in defence. He'd be a no from me, unless they think they can work his defence, better. More critical for me should we go up one. So yeah 2 WB's. I'm fairly sure in MF you've described most of the attributes for MF general, Ghost. I'd be a bit concer...

It's 5 years since Sky had that stupid "count down to extinction" clock up for us. This is our biggest game since then. We should all be there for it. I've yet to...

TBF DSB, they spent all day avoiding Radio, TV and the Newspapers. I reckon if it got an update, they might include football forums too!

I was hoping we at least got to Wednesday or Thursday of next week. But no, we've gone early. Queue a million posts about not taking the opposition for granted (we'd already had a bit of a warm up), like any fcuker inside the camp will read them and think "ohhh, we're doing this all wrong."... :-) C...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
120-odd goals in all competitions this season tends to indicate that we're pretty solid up top. Yes, there's questions over whether Charles, Collins and Adeboyejo can make the step up, and we certainly need better options than we currently have (though JDB is an interesting counterpoint - he was ju...

Jeez DSB! :-) Where's the midfield general when you need one! I like Geth - but would he be a decent enough CB, one division up, should we get there? (Same on Toal/Iredale for me)...

"Rub of the green", something Bolton don't get a lot of, is not just a wish, it's the unknown accident that can occur in the most unexpected time and place either for you or against. Personally, I reckon it's possibly from the ancient Welsh Celtic rugby translation of " Referundinium a clitoristy" ...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs TBC. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
We're a better team than Oxford. It's a one off game, they are a good side and can beat us, but we should win. We're a better team than Peterborough, but they have two or three players who if they turn up can really hurt anyone. So I'm happy it's Oxford while being a long way from job done. DJ - ho...
