Re: Love thy Neighbour...Bolton V Blackburn Sat 6th Oct.17-30

Terrible error from Grounds, but other than that we're not playing badly. Blackburn don't look great shakes so we can definitely still get at least a point out of this. COYWM!

Re: A stroll in the countryside? - Stoke City (A) 02/10/18

TBF the other lad kept a clean sheet and made a very good pass for the goal! Why should Alnwick get his place back automatically? Alnwick is a great shotstopper but Matthews looked better on distribution and I'd agree irrespective of Alnwick's fitness keeps his place until proven otherwise. Same wi...

Re: A stroll in the countryside? - Stoke City (A) 02/10/18

You'd have to assume that we will make some changes for this one, but options are limited at the moment. I'd guess O'Neil, Wildschut and Vela would be in contention to make the starting lineup.

I'd certainly take a point ahead of the derby at the weekend.

Re: Carpe Diem....Versus Derby County at the Unibol, Sat 29th Sept.

Terrific win and 3 points I don't think anyone expected. Without wanting to sound too much like Ken Anderson, hopefully this victory encourages more fans to show up for the derby next weekend.

Sounds like Hobbs has been excellent the past couple of games, so does he now go into our best XI?

Unable to watch the game yesterday but really encouraged by what I've read on here this morning. Especially pleased to hear that the boy Williams impressed, just a shame he's not ours!

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

I didn't want ALF to go (still smarting from that one, as it's becoming clearer that we're not going to find an adequate replacement this window), don't want Vela to leave, but Beevers? Not sure about that one. He puts some great blocks in, and Hobbes - as good as he might be - has a terrible injur...

Re: Bolton Under 23's the Champs.

Does anyone on here with contacts at the club have any insight into which of our youth players are considered the brightest prospects? Based on the limited info you get from match reports it sounds as though Navarro, Politic, Connell, Turner and obviously Hall seem to be the most prominent players i...

Re: Bolton Under 23's the Champs.

Another victory for the U23s last night, this time against Coventry. Connor Hall on the score sheet once more, with rumours swirling that he will be loaned out this week should we succeed in bringing in a senior striker.

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

We surely need another striker? If Magennis were to get injured our only option would be Donaldson, given that Hall has shown himself not to be ready. Even assuming Magennis stays fit we could really do with a different striking option for the bench.

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

If we go off gossip then both Beevers and Vela are likely to leave before the deadline. If that were to happen, the club had better know what they're doing and have replacements lined up in advance. Really??? Seems highly unlikely to me. Iles said this morning that there 'could' be some incomings w...

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

Insane? had a good description of Vela, premiership athlete, league 1 skills. If he wasn't local he'd be long gone. If someone's offering something decent we'd be fools not to take it. What's 'something decent'? Unless we're talking £5m+ I think it would be absolute madness to sell now. ' You might...

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

Not sure how anyone would see losing Vela as a good thing, given how much we need his energy in midfield. He's not the most talented midfielder ever, but he's a better footballer than Pratley and he does that job better. We've nobody else in the squad who can do it. what about Williams? He seems to...

Idly wondering if the £900,000 offer was for Gary Madine. Interesting that he was in the stands in midweek.
Surely even Ken wouldn't think that Cardiff would accept a £5.1m loss on their investment in 8 months.

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

Nixon suggesting a few clubs are sniffing around Vela. I'd guess quite a large percentage of our fans wouldn't be too concerned with Josh leaving at present, but he strikes me as someone who could blossom in another team and come back to haunt us.

Aye.

I think it'll be as tough as the Bristol City game.

1-1.
Sweet as a nut.

Fingers crossed Sam I Am is back for the Super Whites to put on another show for the cameras.

Re: You can't buy character; but you can apparently get it for free.

Some of these lads we've picked up this summer must have already become fairly valuable assets. In terms of resale value, Magennis would be £1m+, Lowe £1m+, Olkowski maybe £2m. Credit where it's due to our recruitment team.
