Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
I had the pleasure of visiting Pittodrie, last weekend, watching Aberdeen v Kilmarnock. Aberdeen won 2-0 comfortably and it should have been at least 4-0. Kilmarnock had played in Denmark on the Thursday before and looked tired. Daniel Armstrong played for the first 57 minutes until being substitute...

Re: Welcome to Bolton. Wrexham (h), 18/08, 3pm
The game was summed up by the fact that in the closing minute the ball breaks to Arfield on half way for a chance of a break. He stops. Holds the ball. Lets Wrexham get everyone back behind the ball before deciding we should resume our sideways and backwards passing. If anything sums us up it’s tha...

Re: Welcome to Bolton. Wrexham (h), 18/08, 3pm
Also lots walking out saying nothing has changed its just like last season - again I'm sure this will be disputed and I'll be lying. In response to Malc I was in the West Upper near to the North stand, deffo plenty boos as it actually surprised me. I'm not for a second saying everyone was delighted...

Re: Welcome to Bolton. Wrexham (h), 18/08, 3pm
Just back from the game - nothing has changed at all tactically, lack of intensity and zero creativity - intensity and drive increased with Dempsey & Matete last 10 mins. I though Wrexham where poor, we should have hammered them in the 1st half - everything is too slow, walking football again but w...

Re: Full Steam Ahead to Orient (a) 10/08, 17:30
I think we almost played four at the back against Mansfield, when we had the ball at least. If we attacked down our right, Tutu went forward and Williams sat back. At the same time, all three centre halves shuffled across to the right so Forino was almost playing as a right back. The same happened i...

Re: Confidence-Builder or Unnecessary Distraction? Mansfield (h), 13/08, 19:45
Could Victor lead the line with Collins and Dion behind him maybe? I think that would be my personal preference but tonight, Victor moved to the right hand side with Charles in the middle. And how did that pan out? Could it be a three man set-up that would rattle teams if the three of them kept rot...

Re: Confidence-Builder or Unnecessary Distraction? Mansfield (h), 13/08, 19:45
My thoughts from tonight. Southwood looks an OK keeper and is good at kicking it long. Passing and distribution is pretty poor but will improve. He is short for a keeper. I thought Forino defended well but his passing was not the best at times. Osei-Tutu did well on the right and is much more attack...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Not that we were still after him but according to the Daily Record, Queens Park Rangers have agreed a deal to sign Brest's former Celtic (and Blackpool) winger Karamoko Dembele.

Re: 2024, hoodwink and bamboozle the public
Certainly a bit of a different reaction to that weirdo with a crossbow who killed the BBC fella's family. Saw very few posts trying to organise a riot, no "Rule Britannia," being sung in the streets. Just an unfortunate event. I am not defending anyone but there is a difference between the crossbow...

Re: Tonight's Football
Phil Foden is a super, special player. Has to start for England. You'd hope so, wouldn't you? Because he's also brilliantly flexible positionally, which would allow for in-game tweaks, let aloine in-tournament. I'm not Southgate (clearly) but I can't see how he leaves him out now, especially in a 4...

Re: To be continued. Home to Cheltenham, Tues Jan 23rd , 7-45.
Not a great game but a gritty performance. Certainly not one for the purists but three points all the same. I’m not sure if the conditions really came across on the stream but the wind was horrendous tonight. Just watching crisp packets swirling around the pitch and shirts being blown around the pla...

I wasn't quite sure where to post this so as Gethin Jones has left us short of defenders, I thought I would put it here. Anyway, Gethin played 78 minutes of a warm up match for the AFC Asia Cup for Australia v Bahrain. The Aussies won 2-0. What did catch my eye was a certain J Iredale being on the s...

Re: Contract expiry
Morley had extended his contract until June 2027. A bit of a surprise decision. He hasn’t been great this season but was probably our best midfielder against Lincoln. He seems to have 5 or 6 good games then goes off the boil.

Just been looking at Guinea Bissau, their African Cup of Nations record and upcoming fixtures. They have only qualified for three tournaments - 2017, 2019 and 2021. They have yet to win a game and in each tournament managed just one draw out of their three games (they have failed to even score in th...

Dion Charles scored tonight for Northern Ireland. Six minutes later he is substituted due to injury. Apparently he got injured making a sliding tackle. Just hope it is nothing serious.

Re: A Storm Brewing. Burton Albion V Bolton, Saturday Aug 26th 3 0'Clock,.
Forrester did well when he came on. Evatt has to play him instead of Iredale who was dreadful as he was against Wigan. For me, he should never play in the back three again. Iredale is a traditional left back and nothing else.
