Re: Abdoulaye's going t'Souk transfer thread
I've seen a lot of Dyrestam - I live in Gothenburg and have a season ticket for IFK. The lads got potential - he's quick, big, technically decent. The Swedish league isnt great so its hard to judge if he's got the quality to make it in England. I have reservations about his defensive nous....which ...

Re: Bolton v Forest thread
Great quality stream. Thanks whoever posted. Same old stuff. You can drive a train through the centre of our midfield, have done for 18 months. Forest's second goal is a perfect example of why we've been shit for that long. Centre backs don't deal with routine punt, and get no assitance from midfiel...

Re: Spuds at Home
Second goal was the killer. We were on top of the game then. Mark Davies again culpable - failing to track Van der Vaart. Someone said he's been a passenger. He's worse than that, he's an absolute liability defensively. For teams with our resources, getting something against the top clubs is all abo...

Re: Wanderers v Swans
First half wasn't too bad, but still not great. We did have a good period of playing Swansea how everyone else knows how to - pressurising them high up the pitch. And our goal was a lovely move. But again second half deterioration. Sigurdsson sat in the hole all game causing problems which Coyle did...

Re: JUST FCUK OFF
And even more worrying news in the B(E)N... according to them Knight is in the process of negotiating a new contract.
Surely not, doesn't this contradict what's come out of the club about all contract talks on hold until we know what league we're in next season?

Re: We're hit and we know we are: Bolton vs Jackburn
It's only a big win if we get 6 points from Newcastle and Wolves at home - 4 points at an absolute minimum. We have to get two points minimum. The rest is bonus. Four, great, six fantasy. Can't buy this, my fleet-footed friend. January's schedule looks awful and we have some catching up to do. Thos...

Re: Time to go
Whilst there's no doubt we've had some woeful luck this season what with injuries, fixture lists, possibly arguable red cards (clutches at straws) its now got the point where I find it impossible to see how Coyle can turn it round. He's tried different formations, different personnel. His main signi...

Re: Wanderers Wanderers Wanderers! ~ Everton Everton Everton
Knight again. Does he ever win a ball?
Its not like the 2 goals have come from us being outnumbered. We've had enough men in and around to deal with the situations. But again, if they can't do the basics of defending then we're f*cked.

Re: Wanderers Wanderers Wanderers! ~ Everton Everton Everton
Knight and Robinson.
Abysmal defending. Incapable of even doing the basics.

Re: Time to go
The background to all of this is that ultimately, the current 'system' / 'business model' or whatever in the Premier League isn't set-up for clubs like us to succeed. With a club of our size our financial outgoings are more than our incomings. As someone has mentioned earlier, we lose money simply s...

Re: Wanderers v The Delusional (Mackems)
Saturday was so depressing because there just seemed such a gulf in quality between us and Sunderland. Thats Sunderland. NOt United, not Chelsea, not City. Sunderland. Sure they have more money to spend than us and thus are always likely to have more quality, but I don't think for a while I've notic...

Re: Bolton v QPR
Much better in second half. Centre of midfield seemed to work better, looked like Coyley told Muamba to sit more and let NRC do more breaking forward, and it worked well, keeping them at bay for important 1st 10-15 mins of 2nd half. Impressed with Petrov today. Looked really busy and wanting to be i...

Re: Bolton v QPR
well it isnt is it, just think we'd flow better from back to front with someone like Mavies in linking the play, making runs and using the ball intelligently....we're wasting it too much at the moment in hoofs up front Amen to this. On the rare occassions we've worked the ball through midfield we'v...

Re: Blackpool
Was amazed at how shite they were- not just individually (and yes, Steinsson's positioning is continually utterly woeful) but as a team - defensively today. Pretty worrying how Blackpool played in exactly the same way, with exactly the same formation as they've done all season, yet from the off our ...

If Allardyce starts to poach our backroom staff his credibility in my eyes will be severley eroded. After stating how much he had a connection with the club and how he had set us up for contunied success in the future, to come in and dismantle what he has left us with would be amazingly hypocritical...
