Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

On Ogbeta, if you tell me he's effectively number 2, he's young and I assume they think coachable, I'm sorta ok (albeit he seems much more LW than WB). Undoubtedly games where the defensive side might be less paramount where he can get game time... I'm generally happy with Randall, but he looks lik...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Sounds more like Moulden has ties to Bolton so 2+2=4, thereby we're interested.

Same maths would give Bogdan a chance of signing for us given he's been watching our play off final.

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

I know dempsey ran around a put a few tackles in but was he actually any better? I dont think hes going to drag us to promotion next year. Yes, he was better. He was pushing the team forward and pressing the opposition and looking to get the ball and the team forward up the pitch. If we had more lo...

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

I agree with you DTM, it's not can't be arsed. I think it's more fundamental. Handling pressure. Needs to be factored into our recruitment thinking, for me. You can have all the skillz, but if you can't bring them to bear, when it counts, you're just a shit spreadsheet number. Recruitment thinking ...

Also concerning, is that in his post-match press conference yesterday, he claimed our performance was "unrecognisable" and he couldn't understand why it went wrong.
He said it was unrecognisable.

I'm sure all Bolton fans would disagree. Weve seen that before. That's the problem.

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

From a manager, I want to see us winning the majority of matches, have success and head in the right direction. We've got that under Evatt's tenure. It's been progress season after season and this season we've fell short of where we want to be, despite progress. We should've gone up. Failing to do s...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

Highest number of goals we've scored for many a year, 100 over a season and 100 over a calendar year. So he stays for me. Whilst i'm still seething about yesterday's turgid non performance, I see that as an issue with the entire club and not just solely on Evatt. Sure the blame lies with Evatt becau...

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

Well that was shit, not one shot on target in a playoff final, good lord. I’d keep Evatt though - he’s got one more chance to get us out of this league for me. Recruitment this summer is massive. We need to absolutely nail it. I'm on this train of thought. Plenty to go off. Were improving our posit...

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.
