I think you offer fair points there BWFCI - But just feel you/we may need to remain calm if it's not going our way - Barnsley do have pace on the counter attack though. Cole and McAtee are sharp, direct and busy. If we get the wing-backs too high and Thomason and Maghoma are caught ahead of the ball...

boltonboris

Barnsley will be bang up for it, they want to play end to end, especially at their place. We don't want to be 2-0 after 20 mins. I don't think Boris is talking about parking the bus for 90. But you start solid, frustrate them in a game where they want the initiative and then take advantage of the g...

boltonboris

What we do not want, is Thomason being the one who gets the ball deep. he was their trigger last time we played them in that first half and they hurt us.

Get the ball into Sheehan and get around the ref every time they try and saw him in half

boltonboris

I have me doubts, that we can keep that intensity for 180 minutes (or even 90). There will be ebbs and flows and we need to understand when they're happening and how to counter them... Yep. If anybody thinks we're going to bang on it for every minute of both games, they're mistaken. In the first le...

My starting team would be

--------------------Baxter
------------Jones, Santos, Toal
--------------------Sheehan
Cogley--Maghoma--Thomason--Williams
-----------Charles------Collins

With our home form, I'd be glad to get out of Oakwell with a draw, especially if we're under the cosh a bit, but I believe we can go there and win.

We'll likely be the better side on the night, have more ball and create more chances. It's about f-in time we won one of them!

boltonboris

I'm not sure I'm as comfortable with him holding everyone to account over a failure when there's still the chance of us NOT failing. He knws the players better than we do and maybe him telling them how good they are publicly and that we've been unlucky etc, is what the players need to hear? Maybe gi...

There is too much talk. Too much ‘keeping of receipts’. Not enough ‘we are going to internalize this and come out and absolutely win every game we need to’.

He's get criticised if he came out and said that

Who are you referring to? Presumably Maghoma.

Maghoma, Dempsey, Charles to name 3 recent examples

But it happened earlier in the season. This week has been more evident though, as it was the business end.

boltonboris

It ain't a good look

boltonboris

Probably not worth its own thread, so I'll put it on here. One thing I have noticed recently and it's a problem for me, but obviously not them.. Recently, we've dropped valuable points in games where we've scored but drawn. At this stage of the season where every win was crucial, I saw players all o...

boltonboris

Plenty of fight in the first half. Foot was taken off the gas when they knew Carlisle had no chance. Exactly!! Fvckin meltdowns on here when we don't win. I'm sick of seeing people rounding on the players like we should steamroll every team we play and when we don't it's because they're leaderless ...

boltonboris

I'm just finding it a bit hard to see where Charles and co missing basic sitters is Evatt's fault. Must be me.. Of course its Evatt's fault, he's the manager, he signs the players & he picks the team - if our strikers continually miss easy chances / sitters then he's not brought in the right strike...

boltonboris

I might have missed it, and apologies if I have, but has anyone come out and said that the whole financial workings of the club are predicated on being promoted in 2024, and if we don't do this then we are all doomed and half our squad need to be sold for half their value just to keep the lights on...

boltonboris

We can make substitutions depending on the goings-on in the other match. We can remove and replace literally half out the outfield

boltonboris

I gotta say (in a non-gammon way), that we'd be absolutely gutted if Derby lost and we didn't get what we needed after playing a weak side. If I were resting a few - and I'm not against resting some who might be tired/carrying niggles, I might want to keep them in close proximity to the bench, on t...

boltonboris

Whatever decision Evatt makes will be the wrong one, unless we go up, by some miracle..

If we go weaker and Derby lose, he'll get panned
If we go full strength and Derby win, he'll get panned

boltonboris

As a standalone game, earlier in the season, we'd have been very happy with that performance. Yes, we should have scored more. But we played well and we'll take those positives into the play offs. Collins is firing now and he looks capable of creating something whenever the ball is near him. He hit...
