There is another aspect to the argument, however, if Mavies were delivering consistently, he wouldn't be Mavies of BWFC, he'd be at Chelsea or Liverpool or some such.

Very relevant point. Any of our players who were consistently outstanding would be targeted by clubs with more money and we'd probably have no option but to sell. I see a few tough seasons ahead before that can change that, with winning the fans back Item One.

Fully expected to see it collapse to the floor halfway through like when the ball hit's a TV camera.

I was expecting it to cut off and then restart with him sat at the bar in his local

OfficialBWFC just tweeted the teamsheet:
Lonergan, Mills, Dervite, Ream, Vela, Danns, Feeney, Mavies, Pratley, Chungy, Cravies.

Make an XI outta that. Who's RB? Vela?

Has to be Pratley.

Anyway, isn't this the Mavies thread?

Why are we defacing it by talking about Pratters?! And all those others??

Hope not. I didn't think so at the time. It seemed like the right sub to make at the time as he wasn't having a particularly good game and Spearing coming on tightened things up a bit

Just my little joke portraying DF as an alike tramp (or hobo!). Had to think of something cheap and nasty. Yuk.

Never thought he'd make it as a proper centre mid. Passing, tackling, tracking back, harrying...great game last night.

Very real comparison with Paul Scholes at his best (with a bit better tackling)

Have they put something in the water, in Bolton? He was nearly anonymous first half (and that first 10/15 mins, totally so). Not just him of course, Clayton looked lost and Feeney could have sat in a deckchair. When we went at them second half, he was excellent.
