Re: Between the lines. Home to Reading, Sat 21st Sept/ 3'oclock.
Big Sam weighs in. I suspect this has become a significant issue for Evatt now. When greats of the club are openly criticising him in public over his one note style then well it’s bad news. https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/24599547.ex-bolton-wanderers-boss-sam-allardyce-ian-evatt-style/ Aye he...

Re: Between the lines. Home to Reading, Sat 21st Sept/ 3'oclock.
The initial improvement in the 5-6 games prior to the new year under Craddock may simply have been a hangover from Hird, which gradually wore off - and then Craddock's methods took over ? It could be like Mjallby with Lennon. Again I've no idea how much influence in League 1 a coach has against the ...

Re: Between the lines. Home to Reading, Sat 21st Sept/ 3'oclock.
It's a huge game for Evatt, I do suspect that if we lose then he may be relieved of his duties this weekend. I 100% think that Craddock was the wrong choice, it was the easy choice we should have brought in a more senior external coach to challenge Evatt. I'm not sure of his (Craddock) influence v E...

Re: Between the lines. Home to Reading, Sat 21st Sept/ 3'oclock.
3-0 Bolton, our poor form since NYD has been down to Craddock's coaching, should never have appointed him in the first place - just watch us go now !

Re: Between the lines. Home to Reading, Sat 21st Sept/ 3'oclock.
This dark cloud is actually Ian Evatt and his over complicated tactics.

Re: The ianevattable sacking
It says to me that he (Evatt) isn't looking to change anything, it will be more of the same 'over complicated' football that the players can't play but he'll try harder to get the team to play it better (his Plan A 2.0) - its utter madness / lunacy. I'm not sure how anyone can justify this approach....

Re: The ianevattable sacking
There is a worrying (IMO) article by GT this morning in the BN about Evatt's style of play, why its so intricate and not like other League 1 teams - all preparation aimed at keeping the club in the championship (if we ever get there).

Re: Options for the next manager
Whoever the next manager is I just hope that he appreciates the BWFC support more than Evatt has, every time things go wrong he has a sly dig at the fans like the 'negativity towards me' comment post match on Saturday. Almost 4,000 sold for Arsenal with a week to go, a match with no absolutely no ch...

Re: Between the lines. Home to Reading, Sat 21st Sept/ 3'oclock.
I wonder if there are some issues in the dressing room or behind the scenes with some backing Evatt & some not. I have seen a few reliable comments elsewhere that Evatt's been on a charm offensive over the past few days and is surrounding himself with yes men (perhaps that's why Craddock & the Analy...

Re: Between the lines. Home to Reading, Sat 21st Sept/ 3'oclock.
But yes it’s that type of player identified there that we lack. Pace, skill, directness and ability to just beat people or fly past them. Without that I feel we are a very poor show. It feels all very much of a muchness. 100%, how many transfer windows has Evatt had since Dapo left, he's had ample ...

Re: The ianevattable sacking
If they are shaking up the staff then they have to get that right and Evatt has to be willing to listen to a genuine tactical expert. That's it though isn't it, he doesn't listen to anyone - his his way or no way, he thinks that he's the next Pep when he's clearly nowhere near being a top manager. ...

Re: Between the lines. Home to Reading, Sat 21st Sept/ 3'oclock.
I mean, if we lose this one he’s definitely gone, right? No he's Mr Teflon, he'll go when he's ready & on his terms and no one on the board has the stones to stand up to him or disagree with him. He's now basically said twice in 3-4 months that he needs time to think about whether he can be arsed c...

Re: The ianevattable sacking
Like I said, it didn't feel like there had been a major change yesterday. If he's staying then it becomes about how he turns it around. He's lucky to survive that performance. I'll look forward to vast improvement on Saturday. I honestly don't get it, if he didn't have answers and didn't know how t...

Re: The ianevattable sacking
It will be interesting to see what the actual attendance is on Saturday, not the published attendance as this includes 1000's of ST holders who don't come to many games - the actual no of people in the stadium.

Re: The ianevattable sacking
If Evatt thinks Saturday was negative, if we go behind against Reading it will be Megson esq. There is no goodwill left amongst the supporters & his post match comments on Saturday made this much worse, it really is a sticking plaster decision by the owners & a very poor ill thought out one at best...
