Not sure what Taylor Swift relevance is? Other than every song of hers I’ve ever heard sounds exactly the same as the one before……and every Bolton performance bar a select few seem to be frustrating in the same ways as the last? I think in history we’ve seen a lot of teams like us - great in possess...

Lets face it, we're play off bound. I struggle to see a reality where: - Derby lose to Carlisle at home - Bolton beat Peterborough away - Overturn a 4 goal deficit Might be better to do the Barnsley Semi and meet Lincoln in the final given the form of the teams. Play offs can change everything. For...

I've swung from optimistic about the playoffs to deeply pessimistic, I just don't think we can defend well enough and we're struggling to score from the millions of chances we make. It feels like there is an easy formula to play against us, put 10 behind the ball and try hit us on the break or from...

It’s good we won. Collins is outstanding. As is Maghoma. The concern is that we need so much to score a goal. Our second goal we stood a simple ball up to the far post and it’s a goal. We need more of that. Too often we opt for the pull back and that’s ok sometimes but we overdo it. Its a lovely on ...

Every credit to big Dan - looked good when he came on

I don’t know what you were watching but I admire the optimism.

Microcosm of the season this. Trying and failing to walk it in when we need a no nonsense laces through it approach. Need some players next season willing and able to strike a ball. If you try and recreate Arsenal of 2000’s this is where you land.

Has that sort of feel aye. We have a better team than the other play off sides but it’s down to the players and manager to lift the mentality, raise the work rate, stop feeling sorry for themselves and realise that anything you win in football is hard. No side will roll over. There is far too much ...

We're three points behind with 2 to play. I'd be delighted if we won both and Derby didn't! Whilst I think that's unlikely, it would be stupid and defeatist to put a half assed team out tomorrow, only to find Derby slip up. As others have said, we got automatics, coming up from the 4th Div on the l...

I mean I want to win the game but would be delighted to lose it and the next if we won the three after that. We’ve had a massive slew of absolute crunch must win games in the last month or so. We’ve not won many (any?) of the most critical. I am pretty relaxed about the next two. No more injuries, d...

If you left a grandchild an Olympic bronze medal you had won, would they be immensely proud and see you as the third best in the world, or think if only you'd tried a bit harder you could have won gold. Sadly, too many think the latter these days. This reflects in seeing Ian Evatt as getting praise...

The more touches and passes we take in and around their box the less likely we are to score. The more quickly we shoot or get delivery into the box the more likely we are to score. I think statistically the opposite is true. The teams who sling the ball in from wide areas score less goals, than the...

Well I for one - as the eternal optimist - reckon we're going up in 2nd. derby are going to lose and draw one, we're going to win both our games. remember, you heard it here first, and you're all welcome by the way!! I think we'll go into the Peterborough match with Derby guaranteed 2nd and we win ...

Agreed on Charles - am hoping what we saw Tuesday was a reflection of him not being sharp, and the way to sort that is a start on Saturday. We’ve seen that in Evatt sides it can take players weeks to get up to speed. I’m not sure we will see a fully fit and firing Charles this season again. It’s wh...

I think in isolation Evatts comments look very defeatist. You play on till it’s mathematically impossible. But I think he’s reflecting on Santos, Sheehan and Jones and probably weighing up that he may need to protect them somewhat across the next two games. If they were fully fit it’s a different qu...

Cameron Jerome interview. Says it how it is. “But ultimately you have to look at yourselves sometimes. We have been in the position so many times where other teams haven’t done what they needed to do but we haven’t done the business either. “It is how you are over a 46-game season and if we fall sho...

Also, above and beyond any systems or otherwise we absolutely have to stop getting done over and over by the same cut back set piece! Yeah but that should be easy to sort. The other two goals we conceded in the last two games where we showed an unbelievable amount of softness and lack of defensive ...

See my fear with Oxford is we would assume we would coast the home leg, and that usually spells trouble. Fundamentally we are finishing third or fourth and really should beat anyone we play. Blackpool wouldn’t want to play, given our record of bottling local derbies. Yeah Oxford I had the same thou...
