Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GMKg3KvWsAAInL-?format=jpg&name=small Damn, no Maghoma. They're saying he's missing out due to illness and we've got to take them at their word, but it wouldn't surprise me if the club have thought it's a bit of a lost cause and we'd benefit from resting him. Not that th...

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30

Williams could start on the right I suppose. Anyway team will be picked now. My gut is we’ll peter (ha!) out to a draw here as Derby will take an early lead, Carlisle will equalise late on but we’ll end the day as we started. You'd have to expect the team to have been picked by now. Odds are we've ...

Baxter Jones Santos Iredale Sheehan JDC Maghoma Thomason Ogbeta Charles Collins The above is on the proviso that all those players are fully fit. If Derby are winning at HT then sub off Santos, Sheehan, Maghoma, JDC and Collins. Seems a sensible side you've picked there. Were it not for the case of...

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30

Eyes on the league, we've got to beat Peterborough to stand any chance and hope Derby drop points. It all came good in 2018 when we beat Peterborough, Derby beat Barnsley 4-1 (a certain Cameron Jerome opening the scoring and secure a playoff place themselves) and 10 man Preston ending Burton's 3 ga...

Re: Season 23/24 Predictions

I'm just finding it a bit hard to see where Charles and co missing basic sitters is Evatt's fault. Must be me.. You can't blame Evatt for strikers missing the odd 1 or 2, but when you miss the amount of sitters that we do given the amount of chances we create, and its several of the strikers missin...

I'm just finding it a bit hard to see where Charles and co missing basic sitters is Evatt's fault. Must be me.. I find this a really reductive. Nothing that happens on a field can be directly labelled as ‘managers fault’. But they are accountable for the results and outcomes at the end of the day. ...

Re: The Nostradamus file....

It’s a completely different scenario but we’ve seen clearly and Evatt has admitted how ‘playing our strongest team’ in the cups hasn’t helped us. When you are Bolton in league one the only thing that matters and it is the only thing is getting out of the league via promotion. I think we’ve somewhat...

Re: Season 23/24 Predictions

^^ Imagine how delighted we'll be when we sneak second! I too had 3rd, Charles, May and Derby...the poor one for me was Charlton who I had 2nd... Saw yours and thought that's decent, so went looking for my own. I'm sure we'll both be quite happy to be proven wrong if it meant promotion at the end o...

Re: Season 23/24 Predictions

Bolton final position: 3rd Bolton top scorer: Charles League one winners: Derby League one top scorer: May I think we're over half way there towards improving on last season's squad. Some major concerns over GK and RB given what we've lost but hopefully our new signings can come good. If what i'm r...

Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.

Lets face it, we're play off bound.

I struggle to see a reality where:

- Derby lose to Carlisle at home
- Bolton beat Peterborough away
- Overturn a 4 goal deficit

Might be better to do the Barnsley Semi and meet Lincoln in the final given the form of the teams.

Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.

Looked a tough chance from my angle. May be wrong, be interesting to watch it back.

Odd that the ref gave them the free kick when disallowing our goal.

Gives them the advantage when getting in the way of the opposition. He's been getting in our way the entire match, wheres our advantage?

That'll be why we're not going up this season.

That's disgraceful from both strikers. Absolutely disgraceful.
Consistently failing with the final ball. Should be ahead. Good game so far. Not getting the results

Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.

Hoping for a good game today. Missus got me suite tickets for my 40th. I reckon it'll be a good game. We'll win and take it to the final game of the season. Derby will also win but draw the final game of the season and we'll end up in playoffs. Not if we win 7 nil today. They'll go up with 4 points...

Jerome has been excellent these last few weeks. Has done 100% of the job asked of him, and seems to be the consummate professional.

First off, welcome back BWFC_Insane. Always nice to have varying opinions on the forum. As for the match, I barely caught it on Tuesday night, managed to have it on in the background whilst working in a night shift in Dusseldorf, so i'm currently watching it on catchup.

Re: Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

The hows and the whys matter not. Must win. A proper spanking would do wonders for three things, though - 1) our goal difference, 2) our confidence, 3) potentially instilling a bit of "oh-God-that-train-is-coming-up-behind-really-effing-QUICK" fear into Derby... Momentum, too. Even if we're in the ...
