Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
We’ve been a laughing stock at Wembley twice now. Not sure which performance was worse… maybe Saturday is still too raw. Stoke. Easily. We were crap against Oxford. Really bad. But they didn't absolutely batter us like Stoke did. If Stoke had fancied it they could have turned it on and had 8 or 9. ...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
We didn’t. We were the team they didn’t want to play. We absolutely did. Let's not rewrite history here. "Fat Sam and his hoofball merchants" were constant targets. After the loss in the final against Boro it was there for months. Same when we were going bust. When we went down under Owen. I could ...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Nice touch this. I wish him well. Never rated him in the beginning as his work rate, defensive side and flirting in and out of games with flashy dribbles didn't impress me. But credit to him, he clearly worked on his game and became a valuable player to us in the end. Which is also to the credit of...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
So with Paris gone we need to replace what he offers, but the player we sign also needs to be able to win the ball, battle in the air and lead the team by running through brick walls.

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
I have my reasons for not liking some people in football. Alex Neil, Danny Murphy and others. I'd not want them associated with my football club and I'll leave it at that.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 7:21 pmYeah, if they don't make you wanna vomit, that probably helps, but we're a football team, not a dating app.

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
None of these things are related of course - parking issues, flags, the performance. All entirely independent. But it just all adds up to the ‘mental picture of the day’ that will last. Kind of symbolic. They're not related other than the club higher-ups should have sorted the details on the non-pl...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
Change to a 433, however you cut it, and the FB isn't the striker's job anymore. Dion's pressing stays contained and we get more minutes out of him. Essentially you press with 3 (or 4 if you want to play a 10 to do that) rather than 2. Dion's phenomenal work rate aside he's not quick enough to run ...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
I think he'd take it unless he has better offers in the championship, we are a more attractive proposition than some may think. If Alex Neil wants to get back into football, I don't think wages would be an issue - great stadium, decent fan base, good chairwomen, ambitious board etc. possibly a dece...

This is a bit shambolic. https://twitter.com/BurndenAces/status/1792595962667339975 The whole thing was a shambles. The ticket mess up, the logistics around flags/clappers, parking, etc. You can blame the short turn around time, but there's no way stuff like parking shouldn't have been worked out w...

Has a promotion to the championship and premiership under his belt already. Sure he might not fancy it. But I definitely see the logic.

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
But it’s about creating the sort of spirit and whatever that Oxford had for the last 12 games. They weren’t the best side but they went up. Because their collective overcame sides with better players. You get what I’m saying. That’s the job next season. Being the tactically best manager getting eve...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
Nope, born 6/9/02 so he's 21. This season just dying now is also the final underage season for Matheson, Khumbeni, Sithole, Hutchinson and Carty. So does that mean we currently have zero outfield players we don't need to register? I'm befuddled by birthday cake and wouldn't trust my recall right now.
