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

He can't stay IMO, after yesterday I think he's lost the majority of the fans.

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

Just seen santos didn’t bother fronting up for interviews. Get rid of that spineless c*nt now. I appreciate that he's the captain, but surely we can't just single out Santos. Why on earth Evatt thinks that Santos is capable of being our quarter back dictating play is weird, every time he had the ba...

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

After that non performance yesterday I honestly can't see how he can continue as manager - it felt as bad yesterday as the the Stoke semi final did, but the performance was even worse yesterday against an average Oxford team who just played un complicated football. From memory the Oxford keeper didn...

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

How anyone and I mean anyone can defend Ian Evatt after that disgraceful, shameful, spineless performance is behond me - I know that there are happy clappers who can't hear a single word of criticism and just accept mediocrity. Bottlers end off, a team of robots managed by a robot - I don't think th...

Re: No nonsense, Ronseal type of deal. Barnsley Away. 3rd May 2024 19.30pm

It's not easy to watch, is it. The silly fouls in the dying moments of each half. Keeping it exciting! How do yellow cards work? Do you get suspended for the final with two in the two legs? I was just about to ask that question. Great result controlled the game without playing well - Santos immense...

With all due respect, I’m certain that neither set of players will give a feck what Marc Iles writes.
On this occasion though Iles is correct.

My point is that I’m not confident that whatever leadership Jones brings to the table is compensating for him being a fairly mediocre player. Not just that, but playing him is also causing Evatt to play three right footers at the back, which is suboptimal for balance.
This 100%.

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30

Thomason & Jones really poor yesterday, I think Thomason needs a rest and Jones although he's one of Evatt's favourites has been poor all season in the RCB position. I know he's decent going forward but Toal is a much better RCB and we need to stop conceding so many goals & IMO Jones is a big reason...

Re: Season 23/24 Predictions

I'm just finding it a bit hard to see where Charles and co missing basic sitters is Evatt's fault. Must be me.. Of course its Evatt's fault, he's the manager, he signs the players & he picks the team - if our strikers continually miss easy chances / sitters then he's not brought in the right strike...

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

Some of Evatts language the past couple of weeks has been extremely defeatist. Next year will be harder etc, Water pistols, leave the disappointment till summer about missing out on 2nd, which hasn't been mathematically confirmed yet. Dampening expectation with 2 to go is really disappointing. We s...

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

I've been so confident that things will go our way. Didn;t see that coming last night a joke of a game. The referees are not just complicit in football being ruined, they actively encourage it. Ref telling the keeper to go to the other side of the area, then giving him the thumbs up. Deliberately t...

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

IMO if we don't go up via the play off's he has to go - end of. He's improved absolutely nothing this season in a weaker league despite good financial backing from FV. I've said it before and I'll say it again tactically he's a robot, everything is pre planned & he isn't flexible enough - look at wh...

Great 3 points - at this stage of the season its about results not performances.

Re: Not between the lines...V Reading at home Monday Apr 1st 3-0;clock

Enjoyed that. played well - top squirters ! Collins & JDB, it was obviously reverse psychology from Evatt all along and it worked. It does make you wonder though after today & Oxford why we can't play like that more consistently ?

Re: Not between the lines...V Reading at home Monday Apr 1st 3-0;clock

I suppose the alternative view is he is taking the pressure off 3 lads who clearly aren’t delivering the goods. Surely he should be firing them up - motivating the lads, telling them how good they are, yes we have injuries but he should be saying that he has so much confidence in them. If a £750k p...

If Collins or JDB score today they should run over to Evatt & squirt water in his face. A packed out expectant home BH crowd, and he comes out with this - its always excuses from him, as you say Nicho the players will certainly be up for the game after this....not ! Very poor management before an im...

I see Evatt's come out with another pre game motivational speech - he never learns.
