Re: Between the lines. Home to Reading, Sat 21st Sept/ 3'oclock.

Big Sam weighs in. I suspect this has become a significant issue for Evatt now. When greats of the club are openly criticising him in public over his one note style then well it’s bad news. https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/24599547.ex-bolton-wanderers-boss-sam-allardyce-ian-evatt-style/ Aye he...

Matchday Programmes

Bit of a long shot... My daughter has started wanting to collect programmes from this season - mainly to collect the player cards that they've started doing. I've gotten all the league ones from this season, but I think the Mansfield one also had the cards inside. So two questions, then - 1) can any...

Re: Options for the next manager

My god I completely forgot about him Series suggestion for next summer: Full-Backs I've Forgotten Think Lennon alone might have signed about six, and then ignored them all when he started playing wingbacks cos his mate David Brentan Rodgers did, even when our results showed what a daft idea it was ...

Re: Options for the next manager

This is a question for anyone who watches more than I do (everyone). When Schon first played, I forget the game, but I saw a lot of favourable noises on here. Now, it seems like he's awful. My question is... Did they buy a decent player who showed what he can do in the first game, then got told to ...

Re: Between the lines. Home to Reading, Sat 21st Sept/ 3'oclock.

There's a few who get the heart pumping a bit quicker - in a good way. A crunching tackle or great defensive play gets the crowd going just as much as a tricky winger - Rico has done that on occasion, Forino did so on a couple of occasions in the first half. In midfield, when Tomo or (vs Huddersfiel...

Re: Terriers Barking, But Can Bolton Bite Back? - Bolton v Hudderfield - 14/09/2024 @ 3pm

I don't think Forino was our worst problem on Saturday. Thought he had a decent enough game in the 1st half.

Re: Terriers Barking, But Can Bolton Bite Back? - Bolton v Hudderfield - 14/09/2024 @ 3pm

Having kept a running note, it's still not toxic. There were boos, but it wasn't deafening. There was also a short-lived "we want Evatt out" chant after goal 3, and smatterings of fans joined in with Huddersfield's "sacked in the morning". It hasn't reached the atmosphere of the end of Megson, Coyle...

Re: Terriers Barking, But Can Bolton Bite Back? - Bolton v Hudderfield - 14/09/2024 @ 3pm

Just found: Duff has faced Ian Evatt more than anyone else in his managerial career, winning two, drawing four and losing three of their nine meetings between December 2020 and March 2023. So Evatt has more wins v Duff - Hmmmm But Duff's a PROPER manager, dontcha know. Not like Evatt with his new-a...

Re: B Team Thread 22/23 Season

I don’t know whether anyone on here is clued up regarding our youth teams these days, but I’ve noticed that a lad called David Abimola seems to score in pretty much every game he plays. I realise that regional youth football is not necessarily a fantastic standard, and there are plenty of kids who ...

Re: "Yes, we have no bananas!" Away to Barrow by the sea. Tues, Sept 3rd 7-45. -45

That one where McAtee danced through but the keeper just about stopped him? I was angry he didn't square it to Collins. However, on reflection I wonder if he didn't look across and see Collins was offside, because he ws offside an awful lot. I hope those two can link up together behind a 9 - whoeve...

Johnston playing all of them onside. Awful defending as a group.

So many misplaced passes from Tomo today. Radar must be slightly out of alignment. I was just thinking, if Sheehan misplaced that many he’d be strung up from a lamp-post. I do like Tomo though. 2-1! Collins! Yep. I like them both. I think Tomo escapes criticism for a fair bit as he's a grafter, whe...

Re: Grecians from Devon? At home to Exeter Sat,31st Aug ,3-0'clock

Ainsworth has QPR's worst loss rate for anyone who got over 10 games, doesn't he? 19 lost in 28 tries. 10 of his last 14. His win percentage for the season, at the time of his firing, was 14%. I'd rather not appoint a pub quiz question. He had a summer window and then produced that. I've suggested ...

Re: Grecians from Devon? At home to Exeter Sat,31st Aug ,3-0'clock

We need a manager. Someone who will come in and knows how to run a club top to bottom. Who knows how to get out of this league. The last thing we need is some more modern football experimentation with Sharon and the boards money. Still Gareth Ainsworth for me. Out of work. I think he would take no ...

Re: Grecians from Devon? At home to Exeter Sat,31st Aug ,3-0'clock

I’m interested so humour me, if you have the time and patience, but who would be the top of your list? I'm in a foul mood, mate; but Ruben Selles is in a next to impossible situation at Reading and has nearly a 40% win rate whilst playing good footy. Steve Robinson has made his mistakes and come ou...
