We play our own brand. Attack them from the off. We however need to manage well the 30-45 mins period when we tire by consolidating and not shying away from tackles. We also need to observe their change of tactics in the first 15 mins of the 2nd half and and adjust quickly from the bench if necessar...

Keep thinking negative thoughts and talking about the past is non-productive. Clean sheet, fresh start and Barnsley are just another team in our league. None of the past matters, only the future. Lately, I read of a man who said, "Our best defence is offence. No matter how well you defend, unless y...

Hypothetically, would you take a draw on Friday? We have pretty much everything in our favour going into Friday, so anything less than a win would be disappointing for me. Gun, help me to understand the "everything" we have going in our favour on Friday so that I can be as optimistic. For one not i...

Now is the time for the players to show that they have the fight for this. Neither Barnsley, Oxford or Peterborough are going to just hand it to us. We will have to fight for every ball and have the stomach for it. A "take no prisoner" mentality. Not seen that consistently in this team, so really ho...

No time to be tinkering with the side. Not much difference between Jones and Iredale to me, but Jones just edges it. When they both play, Jones on the right and Iredale on the left, our defense is all over the shop and very exposed. They make us significantly weaker playing together. Evatt prefers t...

My focus would be on the playoffs.. Stay with Taylor to start at CB instead of Santos Morley instead of Sheehan Dempsey for Maghoma Cameron for Collins Baxter Jones Taylor Toal JDC Dempsey Morley Thommo WIlliams Charles Cameron Yeah, I know Evatts ego will not pick a side like this, but Posh will no...

Not being promoted is disastrous. I'd be happy (or very unhappy...) to be proved wrong, but I don't think it is disastrous at all. My prediction would be that not being promoted basically means we start next season in League 1 and try to get promoted then, whilst also trying to progress in the cups...

Aye, had a week off, got a week off afterwards. Play the strongest team without taking any risks. If Derby are 3-0 up at half time you can always take people off then. This. A million percent. It's effing sport. Play your strongest team all the time and try to win every game you play, or just don't...

Will Posh show their hand ? I doubt they will be playing their strongest and maybe instructions will be to get at Collins. Sheehan. Maghoma and Santos (if he plays) and soften them up (or injure them) for the play-offs. Also, if we play our strongest, they will assess.. ok, Bolton has put their best...

I've swung from optimistic about the playoffs to deeply pessimistic, I just don't think we can defend well enough and we're struggling to score from the millions of chances we make. It feels like there is an easy formula to play against us, put 10 behind the ball and try hit us on the break or from...

Feel pleased for Cameron and his goal. A good Pro. Its also nice when we score from a header. All season our wingbacks play in crosses on the floor to our forwards/midfielders which 90% of the time in my estimation are cleared. I guess the reason is that even although we have tall players such as Ad...

I am quite surprised how optimistic we are. Bolton really has some great fans. For me, we focus now on the playoffs because thats what it will be. Some minutes now for those coming in, some psychological work to win those 3 playoff games, get the niggles sorted out for our key players, and have a se...

We are already in trouble... and its not the forwards I am concerned about. Its the defense. Toal has played RCB, then LCB, then CB in the last few games. One days its Jones in, then Iredale, then its Forrester. We are not settled and I fear the worse if we dont have a settled central defense in the...

We seemed too anxious, looking quickly to shoot at every opportunity without patience and played Shrews game, especially in the first half. Defensively, without our captain we looked very vulnerable. A good side would have cut this defense open today. Looked better in the second half with Maghoma th...

We take care of our business is all I ask. Every game will take a massive effort. I have been around the block too long to believe we "should" win 3-0 or whatever... The ball is round and games unpredictable. You can dominate and lose. That's why we love the game. Full of surprises. All I ask is tha...

Fabulous game of football. When I saw the team sheet, I was concerned about one thing. Jones over Iredale. My concerns manifested itself in the opening 10 mins. Kamara. I have watched him play before, and he is dangerous and pacey. Toal was covering Ogbeta too deep, and Kamara was able to exploit th...

irie Cee Bee

Good game. Its on a knife edge. Can't call it but we certainly are looking dangerous and our defense is standing firm, having learnt how to deal with Kamara pace on the right. They are going down easily, so we have to be careful, especially in the penalty area.

irie Cee Bee

Well Jones comes back into the starting line up. I'm a little surprised by this but its clear that Evatt believes Jones can be relied upon to offer exactly what he requires. I personally would've stuck with Iredale as part of the defensive three but I trust Evatt to make the right call. Lovely to s...

Coleman, Charles, Forrester, Jones, Williams, Dempsey and Jerome the bench I would say.
So you're expecting Iredale at LCB and Ogbeta al LWB? I'd agree with that

Forrester might be left behind for Morely to have more cover in Midfield.

Nlundulu will be interesting - certainly offers a different dynamic, maybe more for the following games. Might see a return to no keeper on the bench.

Very risky Dibble. Too much at stake in this run in to not have Coleman on the bench.
