North by North West. Away to Blackpool Sat 24th Feb, 3-0'clock

We are not going to play well in every game left - I reckon we need nine or ten wins. To lose in a game we play well and create chances in will be a big kick in the bollocks! Particularly at a team well end up in the play offs with. Got to get out there and take a chance or two this half and defend better! Sounds simple!?

Two HT subs for Blackpool. Intriguing.

It’s a run in where because of our profligacy against the lower teams we now have no room for error.

That’s the point. Today is a tough game but these are now must wins. Because of the Carlisle’s, Charlton’s, Northampton’s, Wigan at home’s….we can go on but my point is we’ve got no grace because of too many results against the bottom half sides where we bottled it. Now we have to find wins in the toughest run in out of the top 6.

If we've got the toughest run in out of the top 6 then it potentially suggests we've been in a league position that flatters us. These are the types of games we should be winning if we're going to get promoted.

With our squad top two shouldn’t be in doubt. The issue for me is how we are setup to play and the fact we are asking so much of certain players week in week out. It’s not sustainable. You need to be able to churn out results efficiently in this league. We don’t.

Great save from COLEMAN there.

JDB trying to get out to win the header and being blocked off in the process.


Referee should be booking their guy for the tackle from behind. Books CMG for holding on to the ball yet something that could injure someone he doesn't book. Yet another yellow for Jones whose put in a fair 50/50 challenge. Ridiculous ref.

[BWFC_Insane]

Coleman has played very well today. The defence in front of him have not. No excuse. We need to show some genuine steel and fight to get back into this.

[Mar]

Anyone wanna take a guess what the Bolton fans are saying about the ref. Don't quite think its loud enough

[Mar]

Coleman getting his moment of madness out of his system.

Yeah, problem is that Evatt lost his shit with the ref who sent off Tomo for flying through the air at someone... so where do you go after that?

[BWFC_Insane]

The ref is dreadful but it’s a distraction. We need to win this and currently they look far more like scoring more goals than we do. Needs fixing.

[officer_dibble]

Evatts moaning at the refs has cranked up recently - pressure innit. Yeah the free kicks might not be free kicks but you can’t blame him for poor defending.

Half times not worked - get some subs on. An attacking wing back would be a useful change

Probably suck it up. I am getting the impression Evatt may have collectively pissed off the referees, to the extent that when we get a referee that is fair and balanced (the one against Cambridge for instance) then they end up looking like a brilliant referee, rather than just an average one.

Not many people with much positive to say about Bod this afternoon. I'd love it if he scored, but if he ain't gonna, then we should get another mon on.

[BWFC_Insane]

Definitely need to replace both wingbacks who have been absolutely woeful.

[BWFC_Insane]

In the big games against physical organised sides Sheehan struggles. He’s struggled again here.

Wing backs too. Bod needs to come off as well as it’s not working up front.

[Mar]

I'd like to see us swap the wing backs in the game somewhat, we're constantly outside crossing in with balls across the box. Would be interesting to get something akin to a threat like Robben had, cut inside and then shoot, something to mix up what the defence are expecting.

[The_Gun]

Be disappointed if we don’t get at least a point this afternoon.

Deserve nothing as it stands. Been second best especially latter part of first half and second half. Coleman has kept us in it.

[Prufrock]

Bent. Bastard. Not a pen. And it can't be a red.

[Mar]

Of course he's given a penalty. Fkin joke of a ref this. Sending him off aswell, double damage!

Looks like a penalty too.
