Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
120-odd goals in all competitions this season tends to indicate that we're pretty solid up top. Yes, there's questions over whether Charles, Collins and Adeboyejo can make the step up, and we certainly need better options than we currently have (though JDB is an interesting counterpoint - he was ju...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Jeez DSB! :-) Where's the midfield general when you need one! I like Geth - but would he be a decent enough CB, one division up, should we get there? (Same on Toal/Iredale for me)... JDC to run for 50 games a division up with really piecemeal cover? Ogbeta is a loanee (not sure I'd buy him), Maghoma...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs TBC. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
"Rub of the green", something Bolton don't get a lot of, is not just a wish, it's the unknown accident that can occur in the most unexpected time and place either for you or against. Personally, I reckon it's possibly from the ancient Welsh Celtic rugby translation of " Referundinium a clitoristy" ...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs TBC. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
We're a better team than Oxford. It's a one off game, they are a good side and can beat us, but we should win. We're a better team than Peterborough, but they have two or three players who if they turn up can really hurt anyone. So I'm happy it's Oxford while being a long way from job done. DJ - ho...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs TBC. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
Not saying that we will lose I merely want us to show Oxford the respect we should afford them. They have the ‘finished 6th’ momentum and the way they nullified Peterborough was the way some teams have had success against us this season. On the plus side I think if we play at our best and take our ...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs TBC. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
Cheers mate. There are no unbeatable teams in the play-offs. Most are there because their abilities are a bit more patchy than the top 2 and a bit less patchy than the team that finished 7th. I also think we're better on the front foot than ultra cautious scrap. I don't think we set out to defend a ...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs TBC. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
There's a big step between confident and complacent. I doubt I'd have much to compare between our recent performances and theirs, but we should absolutely view them as the team that's got every bit as far as us and knock outs don't give chances to come back next game (at this point). I want us to be...

Re: The Nostradamus file....
Agree with most of this as a "viewpoint," mate. I think it would be interesting, in that we're often told, "doing this the way we're doing it is the best way, by far." I'm fairly sure some of the advocates of what we're doing are similarly vocal, in their beliefs as the great unwashed and have sugge...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock
Rico had a shocker for their second, and nearly lost it in the first half under no pressure. Thought he was hard done to for the first though. Toal stopped his run after Santos head had gone down. A small mistake but I think it's emblematic of when we're bad, which is when we get caught between two...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock
If they can't, it's pretty legitimate to wonder how they'd cope a division higher and/or wonder whether they can get us there in the first place. Contrary to my evergreen optimism and positivity, I sadly think I know the answer to how we might cope a division higher :cry: (doesn't stop me wanting u...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock
For sure, the big differences between a £10m player and a £1m player has a lot to do with consistency of doing the good bits. I reckon anyone who ever played at any level has at some point done something really well at league standard. Scored a worldie, perfectly timed the last ditch tackle, made a ...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock
Over the season, we're approaching 1 in 3 where the oppo have scored at least 2. If that doesn't undo us in 10 days, it needs a lot of work. And if it does it needs a lot of work! There's little merit in pointing out there's two teams. That's how football works. We know there's two teams, can we ju...
