Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

The squad is shaped up to play the system which it has done for 2 seasons now - It won't change and I don't think it needs to. We just need to improve in a few positions. It feels like we're a million miles away right now, but I don't think we are

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

Dunno about people who do a better job. I can think of at least three who will be in the Champo next season... Don't disagree Jones, Santos and Thommo all abysmal on the day but I think a player such as Sheehan, a senior pro, whether or not he has a "gaffer" name badge were equally as cuplable. I'm...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

I'm not Evatt out yet. I think I was on Saturday night and whilst I've still not fully simmered after a pathetic performance, I do have to look back at the good the bad and the ugly and wonder if anybody would've done a better job. I'm not sure.... What does concern me though, is where do we go from...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

The 2 Parkinson seasons that ended with the pitch invasions had happy finale's but both were turgid, boring seasons with some absolutely shocking football and results into the mix. Remembered for their relative successes, not for their enjoyment. Most of that Championship season was spent watching ...

They provided our suits for the entirety of last season. Seems we ditched that this season. Shame really, as I thought they looked the bollocks. Players obviously didn't like it

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

Ultimately you can have all the great aways you like but seasons need the success at the end of them to be one you will remember in years to come. Simply not true. Maybe you need success on Saturday to glean a semblance of joy from this season, but I will have enjoyed it regardless, for all the rea...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

Some memorable wins, some fairly underwhelming performances, a million goals, some of them absolutely wonderful team goals and individual goals, the like we haven't seen in many a year..

Increased attendances, some great atmosphere, some top away days.

I've enjoyed it fo' sho'

Not sure the timing of this is great - If she highly vocal of the Greed of the Premier League clubs and is calling them out, she's also calling out the EFL board who pander to the PL clubs and bend to their will every time.

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

I'm currently debating whether to buy tickets now or hold off in the hope we open up another block and I can get seats closer to the front. Does anyone have an opinion on the likelihood of us getting another block now? If people hold off, they won't open any more blocks. If you buy and they open ad...

They might have larger numbers on the day, but they'll all be day trippers, asking folk to sit down and be quiet so they can watch the show.

The quality of our support will be better, as long as we don't go behind! :-)

No room for Bod anymore, especially if we go up. I like him and thank him for his service, but he's playing elsewhere next season.

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs TBC. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

"Rub of the green", something Bolton don't get a lot of, is not just a wish, it's the unknown accident that can occur in the most unexpected time and place either for you or against. Personally, I reckon it's possibly from the ancient Welsh Celtic rugby translation of " Referundinium a clitoristy" ...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

On Santos.. Bloke in front of me summed him up perfectly. "He gets bored and does something stupid" and after he said it, it does feel like that. He can sometimes be so comfortable and dominant that it can seem easy, so he tries Cruyff turns and flicks that backfire. He needs to cut that out. As goo...

Fantastic night of football. Disappointed to lose the game on the night, but we went through which is all that matters. Fair play to Barnsley. They gave that a right go!! Our fans were magnificent. The noise levels were insane. Genuinely wasn't going to go on the pitch, until my wife asked where my ...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

I wouldn't want us too defensive. I don't think it suits us. As mentioned at weekend, they often concede first 20. Win this and worry about any further games, if we get there. 10 days recovery and prep time is enough to go full tilt with your "best" XI in my opinion, but the medical guys might be m...

Not that Mr Evatt will be influenced by it, but taking circumstances into account, maybe this would be my suggested starter team: Baxter, Jones, Ricardo, Toal, Thomason, J.D.C ,Williams, Sheehan Maghomah, Charles, Jerome........ Collins to be held back as a "if needed" choice. This based a a defens...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

Same starting team tonight then? That’s probably what I’d go for, and I think Evatt will as well. I would too, but I do think there'll be some science based changes to some areas. Possibly 3 changes- A Wing Back, Centre Mid and Striker change Wouldn't be surprised to see Iredale come in to help Toa...
