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

I don't doubt the veracity of that. It's often least loss of bottle takes the booty. I'm not suggesting 20 new players nor that pressure gets to players. As ever we head to the extremes to try and land a point. But you do need sufficient on your half of the pitch to get the right outcome. If I look ...

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

Worth noting that before we switched to a 3 some on here wanted Johnston out of the club, because he was "never a defender" in a back 4. That is absolutely not snark, by the way - but I think we'd have to assume that a Johnston coming back off a full year out and coming into a back four is unlikely...

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

So any manager who sets us up to concede 5 goals in 10 games and to have the sort of structure they showed in the run in will I think have more joy here. I have no issue with that. You can play differently to how we do and still have the same basic principles in place. The new manager doesn't have ...

^^ I think for me, Bertie, if he's going to go, either under his own steam or otherwise, we just need it to occur quickly.

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

Dunno about people who do a better job. I can think of at least three who will be in the Champo next season... Don't disagree Jones, Santos and Thommo all abysmal on the day but I think a player such as Sheehan, a senior pro, whether or not he has a "gaffer" name badge were equally as cuplable. I'm...

He had a wobble, in February when he was on about "the world's against me." If he's that fcuking soft, then it's pretty obvious why the team is. Stats <> Bollocks. Days after being beaten (again) in a local derby and the day before a crucial fixture against a then promotion rival: "I've haven't enj...

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

That's pretty much the nub of it in an onfield sense. Recruitment, please weigh "a bit of gumption," and a "flash of brilliance" against "plan A" and work out the plus and minuses, instead of spreadsheeting the plusses and hoping it just works. I spoke to one BWFC bod about "character" recruitment ...

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

What were Pompey's long term injuries? 10? 3 in Feb? It needs different thinking. Some different personnel and a few ounces of nous. Sure, but Pompey are an outlier in terms of injuries and results. Mousinho did a great job. Evatt didn't. That's pretty much the nub of it in an onfield sense. Recrui...

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

Sheehan spent most of 90 minutes, putting their 9 between him and Santos. It was spookily effective. No one could get the ball to him.

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

Sorry, that we'd go up... Yup. I thought we would this season and believe that we *should* have and Evatt has to take responsibility. He had a great chance to get the autos and I can work somewhat with the injuries issue, but it was still there to take. The final is another issue entirely. The play...

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

You're missing the story, Insano. The engine room is recruitment. It's not there fault if they reccomend botleless fckrs. It's the managers for not setting them up right. Who's said any of that? The players bottled it. The manager fecking it up put extra pressure on them and made them bottling it e...

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

Stay if he's up for it. Go if he's not. Never liked him as a person, but rate him as a manager. Personality failings have been on show for a few months now. Needs to sort his head out and find the drive to scream into another season. Nothing less than that will do it. We have a better chance of pro...

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

Even Kachunga had the bollocks to have a go at Wembley. No fear. Losing the pizza cup would've been a "meh" so maybe they played with a little more freedom however yesterday not one of them took a risk. It was a do not lose situation that we all know and love. Helps when the manager sets his side u...
