If the following is true from Marc Iles then I am lost for words

"Few have asked about #bwfc playing two up front. I put the question to Phil Parkinson, and he said: "We did. Erhun Oztumer is a striker.""

Not his best quote.

Unchanged XI. Dyer on bench, Donaldson ain't.

Well, just the one change. Wheater in for Wilson.

Re: Carpe Diem....Versus Derby County at the Unibol, Sat 29th Sept.

Lmao maybe front foot was the wrong way of putting it but this was definitely a more positive, aggressive performance. I know some of you like to deny PP is ever negative at home, but slotting Otzumer - who was excellent - in there today was a big difference from the Sheffield United game when our ...

Re: Love thy Neighbour...Bolton V Blackburn Sat 6th Oct.17-30

As much as I dislike this 'team' (the town smells when you're driving through - and what else would any sensible Boltonian be doing), I do have to say that when all the recent court/winding-up malarkey was taking place, it was the pie-eaters who were most vehement about us (like really!). The coupl...

Re: A stroll in the countryside? - Stoke City (A) 02/10/18

Also, starting to worry about lack of goals, especially since we're shipping a lot of them at the other end. I wouldn't say that I'm relaxed about it but in this barren spell we've played three teams who I expect to finish in the top six, and two-thirds of an away match with ten men. Not to mention...

Re: A stroll in the countryside? - Stoke City (A) 02/10/18

Ryan Woods was absolutely quality. A joy to watch. I personally didn't think it was that bad. We were beaten by a better side. They had better players. I also think that the goal was rightly chalked off for Megennis grappling Williams. I think Stoke will be top 6. Pretty much this. The first half w...

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

I’m assuming it’s a dig at iles in part. To be fair to him he only reported BM right at the death and I think he’s been fairly consistent since. We were poor against Sheff U and QPR...the signs were more promising in the latter. My main issue with it is it’s only a couple of weeks since Ken himself...

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

So, just two days after beating one of the better teams in the league, in which we put in one of our best performances, and which leaves us just one point away from the play-off places, our Chairman has decided to issue a public statement firing barbs at the local media, the manager, and the support...

Re: Carpe Diem....Versus Derby County at the Unibol, Sat 29th Sept.

Get the Feck in!! Parky got the preparation for this one perfect. We clogged up the area around the edge of our box, let Derby have it everywhere else including in some dangerous looking positions out wide, and they didn't have the players to break it down. They didn't really create many chances, w...

Re: Carpe Diem....Versus Derby County at the Unibol, Sat 29th Sept.

Terrific win and 3 points I don't think anyone expected. Without wanting to sound too much like Ken Anderson, hopefully this victory encourages more fans to show up for the derby next weekend. Sounds like Hobbs has been excellent the past couple of games, so does he now go into our best XI? I hope ...

Re: Carpe Diem....Versus Derby County at the Unibol, Sat 29th Sept.

Sheffield United are the best team we've played, certainly at home. They controlled us completely and didn't allow us the space in the middle that we had today. It helps that Oztumer is having more of an influence as he's clearly our most creative option in behind the front man, but I don't think t...

We're playing on the front foot and looking good - just like many of us have been asking for :) With respect, we're playing that way becaue they're allowing us to. It isn't the first time we've done it. It's the first time we've done it at home this season from kick off lol. Just shows what we can ...

Re: Carpe Diem....Versus Derby County at the Unibol, Sat 29th Sept.

A brilliant half. Committed and hard-working. They've looked dangerous but haven't created anything that can really be described as clear-cut, largely because of our players throwing themselves in the way and fighting for everything. We're having a lot of joy by hitting it long and catching them out...
