'Working on set pieces' are we, Evatt? Tell me again, how's that going? 🙄

Re: January 2023 Transfer Window

Decision making in the final third in league games? How many has he started? He’s ten times the player Kachunga is at a bare minimum. Decision making and subsequent execution in the final third is our most pertinent problem. Sorry, Boris, but I have no idea as to how come you feel it's OK to single...

Re: Today I'm angry about.....

I read it in yesterdays Bolton News Bruce, since removed....Two of the offenders were Tesco (who later apologised) but apparently taxis are still a problem because of dogs. I did read a short while ago that someone with a guide dog was refused a ride by one of our local taxi companies, which is how...

Re: No Ramifications on the Rams. Home v Derby County, Tues. 27-12 22 3-0'clock

They give you a corner section and they have Season Ticket holders either side - It's quite a nice ground actually. Bit hairy when you leave as you get bottle necked with home fans walking out of the ground I've only ever been once, and that was to an U21's game vs Netherlands in 2005. I do remembe...

A true football legend. Pele trained with Brazil on Bolton's Bromwich Street pitches in 1966. Edit. Just seen that The Bolton News beat me to that one. Not apologising though as I remember it. Eternal rest grant unto them all Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them, may they rest in peace....

Re: Today I'm angry about.....

Blind people with guide dogs refused entry into supermarkets and taxis. Surely, in this day and age....There but for the Grace of God.... Are you sure, Tango? It's against the law to refuse access to a guide dog. Also, regarding taxis, the law seems pretty clear on this also. 'If the passenger is a...

Re: No Ramifications on the Rams. Home v Derby County, Tues. 27-12 22 3-0'clock

'Wanderers have received the full allocation of 3,145 tickets for the trip to Pride Park to face Derby County on Saturday 21 January (KO 3pm)'. Seems a bit miserly, no?! Just under 10% of the ground. Not terrible. Tbh, our away end (c.20%) is too generous in some respects. For example, did Trafford...

Re: January 2023 Transfer Window

If Sadlier leaves in January as the BN are speculating without being given a chance this for me will be one of the most ridiculous pieces of management I’ve seen. Especially as the utterly hopeless Kachunga is picked time and time again and offers no more than a pub player. Evatt obviously has play...

Whether it's due to the change in personnel, or an instruction from Evatt, I'm delighted to see us not tapping it sideways to each other along the back line. I'll be proper miffed if he changes any of the current back three simply because other players become available.

Same manager who did us comfortably twice last season - it’s a tough game.
I still reckon I'm yet to see an Evatt side be beaten by anyone quite as comfortably as we were by Rotherham at home last season.

It'll be interesting to see if Evatt's learned owt..

Maybe Bradley might play better amongst better players and with better coaching? He's hardly doing badly FFS!

He’s the lad Shane Warne picked out when he was 12 as being one destined for the top apparently. What a story.
Was listening to this story yesterday. Apparently, Warne said to him 'you'll play first class cricket by 15'. Took him until he was 17. That Warne, eh? Know nowter. 😁
