Re: Match Thread: Pasties and Pies - A Tasty affair! Bolton v Wigan (H) - Saturday 19th Aug / 12.30

Psychological? my arse. Too fcking soft when up against it. Well yes. Though some of it is mentality. Santos yesterday instead of rising to the fight of Wyke waved his arms round and basically gave up. Not just the example but he never got into the team to rally them as I’d hope a captain would. Sh...

Re: Match Thread: Pasties and Pies - A Tasty affair! Bolton v Wigan (H) - Saturday 19th Aug / 12.30

Ok. I know our aim is promotion, but it's also not a god given right either. There's half a dozen teams in our league who also have the aim of promotion, and we can't all get it, so some will fall short. If we're one of them, so be it. It's not that long ago we were facing having no club. For me, if...

See, I do honestly get all that. Todays performance stank. There's no denying it - and trust me, I'm not denying it. My issue is , 1 bad performance seems to completely and irrationally undo all of the previous really good ones in some people's minds. People talk of the same issues being around for ...

Re: Match Thread: Pasties and Pies - A Tasty affair! Bolton v Wigan (H) - Saturday 19th Aug / 12.30

Agreed. Although I do think some fans need to grow up and get over the fact it's a derby (or not given the previous discussions). It's either a win,draw or loss at the end of the day. We are judged at the end of the season on where we are in the league, not on head to heads against rivals (or not).

On the plus side, all the rest of the teams on 9 points lost, so we're still up there near the top. Had we conceded one goal fewer, we'd be top Ah. So they must all be shite as well right? Assume all of their collective players are either soft/bottlers/crap/lightweight/simply not good enough? And t...

Well this puts a different complexion on the transfer window now. Anyone fancy Morley and Sheehan? Anyone? No it doesn't. We've still won 4 out of 5 this season.

Weird half of football that. Watching on wanderers TV whilst on hols (really decent coverage by the way...) We don't look that bad at all, and they don't look much better.

We're up on the majority of the stats they're cycling through at half time, apart from the only one that counts sadly...

Re: North by North West..Bolton v Fleetwood Tues 15th Aug 7-45.

You've consistently said we need a first choice RWB and JDC is cover haven't you? (& apols if not & I've got my wires crossed). I don't see why he can't be 1st choice. He's barely put a foot wrong in a white shirt so far. The fact that we don't yet seem to missing Bradley at all - player of the year...

Re: North by North West..Bolton v Fleetwood Tues 15th Aug 7-45.

JDC plays the full 95 mins... Amazing. Not only that, a brilliant 95 minutes. Forwards and backwards, just great. Forwards yes. Backwards….ok I guess but not brilliant. Jesus effing Christ. The guy was incredible tonight - he's played virtually every minute of pre-season and the season so far and h...

Re: Shirty McShirtface: Help pick the Wanderers' kits for next season

Superb of the club to listen.

I'd be happy with either 1 or 2 (and 3 was the least worst of the old choices...). Nice to see the little bits of red returning on the first 2 choices now though (something lacking from the current home kit)

Re: Shirty McShirtface: Help pick the Wanderers' kits for next season

To be fair - and whilst I think they are a very poor selection to choose from - they have at least tried to make them relevant to us rather than just identikit designs - the red away one has the lancashire rose all over it and the green one has our Elephant and castle emblem as the pattern....

Re: Can we be Imp-erious this season? Lincoln, H, 05/08

Thought we were excellent today - very professional and well-drilled. No bad performances in there at all I don't think. Lincoln were shite though. Shouts out to Santos (again!), Iredale, Williams and JDC Also - were Lincoln the softest team every to grace the Reebok, or have we developed a bit more...

Re: Pre-season 2023-24

It doesn't matter what actually happened or not - our pessimist friend has obviously decided that Vic & Dan are his first targets that aren't fit to wear the shirt, not good enough for league 1, pub-team standard etc etc etc. Don't worry, he'll soon move on. I reckon he'll be back onto Santos next -...
