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...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
Not sure you necessarily have nail on head regarding all our fanbase. Some of our off-day performances since January weigh much more heavily than a Dougie Freedman special, 10 years back. I agree that more often than not, we'd win this, but we will have to overcome weight of expectation and play wit...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
Dunno what your actual gripe is, mate? Just the yoof ballooning about how many we have sold vs Oxford. I mean we all knew we’d not be selling this out and Oxford probably would. They have lower attendances sure. But a big catchment area for a day out and it’s far easier and cheaper for them. Really...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
^^ Not quite. Had the Derby game ended as a draw, they'd still be on 90 and we'd have been 89...i mean 5npoints in front is pretty decent on a "fine margins call"...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Strikers has the capability to "evolve" depending what happens to Bod/Cam. I'd prefer to have an alternative 70 minute option to Dan, unless he's kicked on a bit, post injury. Anyone got a spare £50k a week to land Jamie Vardy on a free? I mean maybe add whatever Bod and Cam are on, combined togeth...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Well, yeah. Of course the number of errors has a direct relationship to them not having the ball and being defensive v them having the ball and attacking. I mean, that just feels intuitively logical. But however good they system is on the front foot. You will need to defend, pretty much every game....

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Whilst the defence is unquestionably an issue, how much of that is because we are seemingly much more attacking this season. With a total of 121 goals scored this year, it's obvious the trade-off has been with defensive rigidity. That's part of my grump. Something around 30% we'd have to score 3 or...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Hmm, well I wrote a post and then got booted. Plus side, it'll save you all a lot of reading. Basically, the main issues with our defending isn't who's in the back 3, it's where we lose the ball and how often the defenders have possession when we attack. Wide players who can dribble past defenders ...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Presumably Paris is the #1 target in midfield. Sheehan is player of the year and everyone else is under a long contract. So I suppose it depends on whether Evatt feels that department is strong enough as is and just needs a reliable Championship player, or if he thinks it needs a big boost. Strongl...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Hmm, Worthy wants someone a bit more solid. I prefer Randall defensively, suspect Bradley might cost a few quid, but Ogbeta for me doesn't bother nearly enough defensively..

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
I have Ogbeta as improving going forwards, wanting in defence. He'd be a no from me, unless they think they can work his defence, better. More critical for me should we go up one. So yeah 2 WB's. I'm fairly sure in MF you've described most of the attributes for MF general, Ghost. I'd be a bit concer...

TBF DSB, they spent all day avoiding Radio, TV and the Newspapers. I reckon if it got an update, they might include football forums too!
