Leicester away

[Prufrock]

That we looked more of a threat playing 4-4-2 when 2-1 down doesn't necessarily mean we should have started 4-4-2. Sounds like Butterfield had a mare, and it cost us. Without access to the medical reports on Ricketts etc it's difficult to know if that was a cock-up on Dougie's part, or just one of those things. Always easier with hindsight, but you do wonder if Butters was the best possible cover we could have got. Not that I'm up for criticising #DougieCool too much atm.

The amount of absolute shite that gets posted before game, only for the same folk to come on after the game giving it the 'I told you so' is jaw-droppingly depressing. #Nofaithinmankind.

Butterfield had the worst game I have seen from a Bolton player. What was Dougie thinking about picking him rather than Ricketts. He gave both goals away. On top first 10 mins, then they came at us and we conceded two goals. Well on top in 2nd half and got a deserved equaliser. Sclupp's goal a matchwinner but against the run of play. Good penalty shout in last minute. Players:-
Bogdan: 6- sound but at fault for 2nd goal
Butterfield: 0- appalling (see above)
Knight: 6-sound but usual anxious moments
Dawson: 7-good but seems to have lost his goalscoring touch.
Alonso: 6- good player but goes awol. He is really a left sided midfielder.
Eagles:6- annoying as usual. Great skill but hides from the ball and does not work hard enough.
Vela: 5: looked a bit out of his depth.
Medo: 8- looks a god player. Tackled well and distributed OK.
Pratley: 5- works so hard but I am convinced he does not have a football brain. Runs up too many blind alleys and passing poor.
Chungy: 8- not the player he was but still good
Ngog-9: held ball up well and laid it off to others. Still not strong enough and can't (won't) shoot
Subs: Rickett changed the game, why didn't he start. Cravies put himself about well and Eaves only on for 10 mins.
Dougie needs to make some major changes whichever division we are in as we are so short of class.
Two home wins could be enough and no team will want to meet us!

I will second this, at fault for the first two goals, passes to no-one and even gave a corner away after no pressure whatsoever from Leicester players.

Surely it's all reverse jinxery though? I thought we'd get a point last night, but I wasn't about to type that on here!

Still feeling a bit gutted this morning.

And to be fair about Butterfield, he hasn't played much for ages. Bit like Sheff Wed fans who are moaning about how poor Holden has been for them.......

I think Butterfield came in as very short term cover cos Mears was ill, but now of course Mears is proper ill and out for the season and then Riley gets injured and is also out.

We ain't having much luck.......again!

Pessimism, I laugh in your face.

Being a true pessimist... double or quits
If we lose, I owe you nothing.

Not that I'm happy about it, I'd much prefer to owe you 2/3rds of a guinness.

I'm sure that most of that pre-match absolute shite is little more than japery. That said, I honestly did think that last night would've been a nil-niller, and would've been delighted with same.

Now then, and I considered putting this in the angry thread. Have Leicester done something to piss Sky off? I sat there last night with Sky's regurgitating Sports News channel on and it promised "All the goals from The Championship coming up after the break". Brill, thinks I. I can watch all the goals and have 22:30 ish early night. They then indeed showed 'all the goals from The Championship'........... except the ones from our game. 'Maybe they're not in yet' thinks I, and proceeded to sit through Cardiff's celebrations for a full hour until they showed, once again, 'all the goals from The Championship'.......... except the ones from our game. So I gave up and went to bed in a grumps at 23:40.

I was so upset I spent fifteen minutes finding the right phone number to ring in and complain about it.
And then it was only to leave a message, no live spokesperson to grumble at... nothing back in the way of apology from the arsewipes yet either. Grrrr

I waited up until 12.45 and still nothing!

Bloody hell Bruce you stayed up till nearly midnight to try and watch the goals in a game we lost?

I always feel too gutted to watch highlights after we lose.

Yeah, I'm much the same. Many of Manish's broadcasts have been deleted without being watched this season. I suppose I'd got into this well-I've -waited-up-this-long kind of mindset.

Do we know though - is it common for Sky not to show bits from Leicester's home games or was last night a one off?

Don't know. They seem to have Leicester on the live games a fair bit though.

Probably just an oversight I guess. Either that or they've got it in for you.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Just got an email regarding my complaint, apparently it was an oversight, the video editing was supposed to hold the Leicester Bolton goals but for 'reasons unknown' they were not submitted to the News team. They hope it didn't 'spiol the enjoy of the rest of the programme' [sic]

So they haven't got it in for me then? I'm quite disappointed now.

No personal vendetta, always disappointing that realisation.

[boltonboris]

Disappointed to say the least...But we are still very much in this

Word for word what I was thinking

[boltonboris]

Butterfield is on loan from Southampton isn't he?

Don't they play a pretty high tempo pressing game? No wonder he's not kicked a feckin ball for them..

I dread to think the damage a Prem winger could do to him..

[Athers]

Butters! Wow mate. The worst part was not that it seemed like a lack of 'sharpness', but that his supposedly experienced head went as soon as Dyer twice successfully jinked to the byline to put a cross in. Then on the 3rd or 4th time Dyer is clever enough to take an additional touch, a stupid 18-yo's lunge comes in and it's a penalty.

Would have to see their second again as the winger was flying when he received it but it was a big old gap on that right...

As for all the passes astray, he's not the first player to misplace a pass but it was really terrible. Still, even with all that deserved scapegoating I've just done, I really don't like seeing one of our players cheered from the field sarcastically.

Missed the first goal due to the horrendous traffic and nowhere to park, ended up running the last two miles ffs! What a location for a ground that is. Terrible.

Given the level of effort in a second away game on short rest, and that other results not too bad I'm not too downhearted. I still think we'll finish above Leicester too.

[Athers]

I've also just remembered another Butters moment, right after conceding I said to my mate we need to calm down as Charlton scored two in succession against us. Straight from kick off we pass it backwards and an easy long ball under no pressure sailed about 10 rows out of play! Perhaps not as awful as that "backpass" though

At least DF was man enough to give him the hook, a performance for the ages.

Butterfield will be one of those.. "Fvck me, remember that shithouse we had on loan?!"

Bit like Otsemobor

[jaffka]

That John Dreyer was crap as well
