Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Klaidi Lolos heavily rumoured to be joining us from Crawley Town. Putting the Lols into the transfer window. He's got a goal every 2.6 games last season in league two. Seems like a decent strike rate. Would've initially had this as a B-team signing like Matheson style, but who knows. Our B team has...

Re: Division Three, 2024/25

Ashley Fletcher to Blackpool on a 2 year deal. He looked a class act several years ago in Parky's last championship season. His stats since that Middlesbrough spell though, look decidedly average.

Re: Division Three, 2024/25

Peterborough seem to have a really good model and have generated some serious money over the years. Presumably, amongst all their successes (Toney, Clark-Harries, Smodicz, Makail-Smith etc etc) there's been a few duffers too. I see Huddersfield snapped up a wing back from Lincoln yesterday and their...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Looks like a very good signing. Wycombe fans largely gutted to see him go. A free transfer with huge potential to either thrive and move on up with us (fingers crossed) or sell on for serious cash.

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

Much as I distrust Nixon, I suppose it's highly likely he knows and chats with several agents. Potentially, agents will know if there's some uncertainty around our management situation if they're getting little feedback from the club when pushing their clients? I've no idea if this is how it works b...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Shoretire leaving Utd on a free. Given his education and the bits he showed, we could do a lot worse than offering him a years contract, with B team and PJT matches to see how he progresses. That's assuming he's not fending off 2 and 3 year deals from L1 & L2 clubs. Giving it up if we sign him. Cou...

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

Good question by AT. If we'd have fought hard at Wembley and been narrowly beaten, I'm sure I'd be in the 'Evatt stay' camp. To be fair I'm only just in the 'Evatt out' one, even after the limp performance we did put in. Dan could become a huge millstone for Evatt though. Much as I love the guy and...

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

I voted go but it won't be the worst thing in the world if he stays. Since we apparently needed to find £20m if we went up, perhaps we're better off in a small pond for now. The biggest reason for sticking with him right now, is the very real possibility any replacement would be much worse. When Nea...

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

It was fairly clear as early as 10-15 minutes that we'd started badly and whatever we were attempting to do, wasn't working.

Given how often we've frozen, choked or been outfought in previous high profile games, I'm unconvinced that Evatt is capable of learning from this most recent one.

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

Emotions are still running high at present and I'm still seriously fecked off but trying to look at it calmly; Pros - Season on season improvement in terms of league position. A healthy points total this year that would have seen us promoted in other years. Attractive football more often than not. R...

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

Since he's improved our league position year on year, he's worthy of being kept on but is the approach or anything going to change? Will we still choke in the big games and the local derbies? No thanks re Duff. Good coach but dour shite his teams serve up time and again. Ainsworth? One trick pony at...

I'm not in the Evatt out camp yet but if he walks, & I think he might, I hope we'll be giving Alex Neill a look. We've known all season that they're a talented bunch but with no bollocks between em. 5 or 10 minutes in and you knew we were fecked.

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

I'm not buying the Oxford shut down our midfield angle at all, I saw Thomason, Sheehan, Maghoma, even Ogbeta in plenty of space asking for the ball but it never came. The defense wouldn't take the risk of passing them the ball, so it just went back and forth then hoofed to no-one when it got too em...

Re: Tonight's Football

Saints denied a clear penalty. No VAR in the semis but operational for the final. If they're brave enough to overrule the ref, that would definitely have been given.

I’m not ashamed to admit the last few months have been personally very tough for family reasons I won’t go into and it’s taken a big toll on me personally. Whatever...

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

I doubt anything will beat the 1977/78 season for me. I was young, had never seen Bolton in the top division, we'd just missed out the year before so very happy days - we'd have got 89 points that season under 3 points a win. There were a couple of games, we had more than 50,000 on. I enjoyed that ...
