I think the trouble is she took her football counsel from Evatt. So when she asks ‘what’s going wrong’ it’s only natural to say ‘well I’ve not got the right players’. I'd agree with that but it feels like this time it's the other way round i.e. the sporting director is top dog with the manager seco...

One thing that stood out to me in the two friendlies is the new players are a step up on the ones that were here last season. So I'm inclined to trust the scouting team. The usual caveats about YouTube aside, I've got to say he looks incredible in that video. Although you do have to wonder if he's ...

Should clarify that I didn’t see us challenging for the top 2 in May and still don’t now. I suspect we are fighting for 6th-4th at best. Is there anything that could change your mind bwfci before the season kicks off? Probably not - always we have to hope but there are some strong sides again in th...

I still say young lads who are full internationals and have played across Europe have more potential than Collins who is now in league two at 28. But I agree with your reservations on Gale. I note that Schumacher has said we need to make him ‘understand his role off the ball’ which maybe screams wo...

What we’ve signed this season all have higher ceilings than what we had before but there is no guarantee they hit their peak here. But the peak of what we had before was probably bottling league one play offs. They were simply not a promotion side. Is there a particular reason why I should think, f...

IMO for us to seriously have a chance to challenge for promotion, these two strikers that SS says he still wants need to be proven & names that at least a few fans may of have previously heard of (apart from googling !) - players who we all go 'now then that's a good signing, he will score goals in...

To be fair, I'm also intrigued about Warren and hope that he has a big future.

Despite Schumacher's warm words though, he presumably still has quite a bit of developing to do.

nicholaldo

I meant to say I’d rather stick with what we have. Warm weather, beer and in-laws got in the way 😊 The article published this morning by Marc Iles, he sounds quite upbeat and I can’t remember him being this optimistic pre season , anyway 3 weeks today, can’t wait. I'm not sure exactly where this op...

It's interesting (to me at least) that Taylor is preferred at left-back. We aren't currently blessed with options in that position so perhaps we're using him there early in pre-season whilst minutes are managed because he can do a job, but I thought he was primarily a centre-half and that maybe Inwo...

In Iles' latest article he has Schumacher quoted as saying he wants more "personalities", which would seem to confirm he's referring to the type of person rather than mere numbers. Whether he means leaders or "good in the dressing room" types, or both, I suppose we'll soon find out. Not sure he did...

Not to be a Negative Norman but I do think too much can be read into these things.

nicholaldo

I'd be surprised, and somewhat alarmed, if we go into the season with Hutch as second choice.

Is the thinking that Teddy boy will get the yellow jersey ?

Without a doubt.

nicholaldo

I'd be astonished if we decided to go into the season with Johnston as first choice left-back.

nicholaldo

Back to the Collins rumour. If it is true that we'd be willing to sell him, then I'd rather the club buy his replacement before we sell him. I'd rather not take the chance of selling him then finding out we can't get the replacement we want. I'm not sure we - or any club really - has quite that muc...

I hate the use of "Bolton Wanderers is".

Get in the bin.
I noted that on the Dalby story. What’s that all about?

I assume we've got a new social media bod in.

Welcome aboard, Xavier.

Hopefully he's just the type we've been crying out for in midfield.
