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

Its the manner of some of the defeats this season rather than the defeat itself. Exactly this. Crap capitulations in our biggest Derby games and at Wembley live long in the memory. The near misses against Portsmouth and Derby can be forgiven as they had spirited fight. 0 shots at Wembley on target....

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

When you spout about being the best team in the league and your fans post HMS PisstheLeague posts everywhere - then I suspect it's a combo of both. Fans have long memories (or short ones when it suits) Yeah we need honesty from a manager going forwards. Create a much tougher and stronger culture. S...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Sign him up. Be nice to get it officially done. Non league that lad. Absolute bobbins. Not fit for Bolton wanderers. Easy to say that after today's performance. Personally I think he's been decent backup for Randell. Certainly wouldn't think he's the finished article. We do need cover next season a...

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

Jones, Santos, Sheehan, Maghoma, and Cogley were no shows today in terms of any positive contributions. Maghoma has an excuse and I was amazed that he came out for the 2nd half, and half surprized Santos did. Toal, Ogbeta, Thomasson and Dempsay when he came on tried, while the Charles and Collins w...

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

I suspect losing Williams and Maghoma was a big blow. Can't carry players during the games if they're injured. Hard to expect Thomason or Sheehan to step up to that midfield when they've not shown they're capable previously. Whenever things are going well they're good but when things aren't going we...

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

Fkin abysmal performance. Disgusting. As soon as that Maghoma injury happened in the first half that was it. All the wind out of our sails. There was no sign of us stepping up and matching any shithousery that was coming our way. Was sick to death of seeing Santos in that first half as it always led...

Devastated for Williams. Not even managing to make the bench. That's a big kick in our sub abilities. Hopefully Ogbetas defensive heads on today.

Just arrived in Flam , Norway. Good news is I have Internet access and the ship (celebrity apex) has a bar that shows live sports! Hopefully they can get the match on. The fjords are beautiful, but nothing will compare to being there. Everything crossed coywm. Glad you've managed it. Well done. I'v...

Butterflies kicking in this morning.

This time tomorrow we should be on our way.

Does anyone know what the parking situation is like for those taking the coach? Don't want to inadvertantly get parking fines, and i'm not keen on paying over the odds for parking.

Re: Five Year EFL Deal: Death of the 3pm?

Love what she's trying to do. Her desire and ability to do good far outweighs her ability to answer succinctly. I'd much rather her carry on about the good she is trying to do rather than some of the others who have clear self interest. I can understand that. It's a personal taste thing. I'm deligh...

Re: Five Year EFL Deal: Death of the 3pm?

Put this here as it's about the wider football "settlement" but I see Shazza has had some pretty strong words for the parliament select committee dealing with the proposed new regulator, about the "greed" of the big clubs. I think she's right, though I found her extremely trying. She was asked conc...

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

This season has been weird. Despite scoring 121 goals, I haven't actually found it that enjoyable! On the flip side, despite me moaning (more than most) than our profligate finishing and dubious defending, this is genuinely one of the nicest squads we've had. It'd be a shame to break it up and I th...

Congrats to St Pauli and a certain Herr Afolyan. They'll be strutting their stuff in the Bundesliga next season.
And they'll be sending an extra £250k for his services as a result.
I wonder if the fee is increased if they win the league next week.

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Positional flexibility means it's not always this simple, but one basic way to look at squad depth is XI vs XI. Without descending into "he's better than him" arguments, next season we have these players under contract: .............Charles Collins......... Williams Thomason Dempsey JDC ..............
