Re: The Politics Thread

Privatisation. What a failure it's generally been. Like most of the policies prevalent in the 1980's. Sell "the people" something they owned in the first place, on the basis that private business would just throw money at it, because they're philanthropic. Watch as the corporates take divvies each ...

I don’t think there is any conspiracy. It’s just a manager who knows he’s under a lot of pressure to deliver and key players who aren’t yet fit. Maybe have had setbacks in their recovery. I really have believed for a long time that our sports science and rehab etc leaves an awful lot to be desired....

Another big pressure game in the run in. We’ve got to win one of these surely? Even statistical odds would say even absolute trash sides would win some of these. Do you recall us beating Oxford 5-0? Oxford are rubbish and it was in front of a small home crowd and a tiny away following. We all know ...

This is current era Bolton all over. Morning report ‘signs good for Charles and Baxter’. Few hours later ‘doom’.

It happens all the time. We are told player is coming back then suddenly they aren’t.

Re: Race to the tape: 2024's League One promotion campaign

Great result if and only if we can take advantage. Given recent results, I have serious doubts. Obviously hoping I will be proven spectacularly wrong this time next week. It’s certainly a huge boost. We’ve hit the fabled international break rest we’ve been talking about for so long and had the mass...

Re: The Nostradamus file....

Obviously has leadership skills and experience over Forrester, but I think Jones has been poor, excluding an okay second half against Barnsley(?) when he went to RWB. Lacks the game of dynamism that he had last season and I think he's become wasteful in possession and bit sloppy in his defending. I...

I'd be putting Forrester in over Jones anyway to be fair. Regardless of travel.
I think Evatt trusts jones and sees him as key. I suspect he won’t do that until we are mathematically out of it.

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

Let’s try this another way. Derby recognising that we are a good football side decided they would have to perform a rearguard action get numbers back and try and hurt us on set pieces. They ended up restricting the shots we had on target to the same they managed. So they did the job they set out to ...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

I've no doubt that we had more possession & a better XG than the opposition in all of the last 8 away games - however we have won only 1. Yes 1 win out of the last 8 away games - its ok though as we have process & performance. When your proxy metrics aren’t predicting performance then you have to q...

I’m not the manager. The thing is you say ‘we don’t just ignore it’ yet the same words are uttered game after game ‘if we keep up that level of performance we will be fine’…it doesn’t suggest we are trying to examine the reasons we keep not being fine. We just think that if we keep performing somet...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

Derby and Portsmouth have horrendous injury lists. So we aren’t alone there. No, but you're looking for a solution that we've arguably already got. The intangibles probably come down to character. People who when it really matters stand up to be counted. And teams that do the same. When you need so...

I'm glad we're performance and process driven. That's how you get results. Played well, didn't win. Annoying, but sometimes that's how it goes. He's the best manager we've had since Sam for me. Close with Parky, but true. I'm enjoying the ride. Process and performance is fine but there is more to w...
