I feel ashamed to say that I'm a Bolton fan after that

Never be ashamed of being a White. Always speak their name with pride. That is all.

[thebish]

Dougie isn't the one to be replaced. It's our f*cking defence. Mears Knight and Baptiste shouldn't be allowed to wear a Bolton shirt. Oh and Beckford is clueless, missed several clear cut chances despite good build-up play. We've got seven hours left to bring people in... SORT IT OUT DOUGIE

Ill let you in on a little secret

We have until Monday night

nahh - the loan window opens for a bit longer than that...

I meant for money purchases that we won't be making Bish

[CrazyHorse]

hello rovers fan here in peace, prepare for bad spelling and grammer im dylesxic lol

what a game that was eh?

first half we were better after beckfords miss and could of gone 3-4 up before you pulled one back. then second half you tore us apart and our defence couldent handle you then we get a lucky third and never looked back it was all us from there and could of had more. a brilliant game of football

Hi Adam. Welcome to the site.
I really feel that Dougie Freedman should be your next manager; he could really do a job for you.

of the players you mention..

knight - dougie made him captain
baptiste - dougie's man
beckford - dougie's man

Wheater is his man too. Gave him a new contract this summer.

[mrkint]

Thank god, it's full time.

That were a right laugh wasn't it?

At least your steel breeches were saved.

Only caught the first half and a bit then stream died. But yeah that weren't great.

Maybe the managers to blame.

Maybe the players. Maybe terrible injuries

Or maybe it is time to accept we are just a poor, unattractive football team nowadays.

yeah - but he didn't mention wheater!!

[wanderers_on_tour]

Dougie shouldn't be too blame. He puts out a respectable side each week and seems to be a forward thinker behind the scenes.

However the longer he picks and supports this dross at the back the worse his position is going to get.

Dougie's blameless?

No. Sometimes its hard to get the right sentiments when your posting from your phone after a game but read the last part of my post.

I just don't think he should be fired, nor would I want him to. I've seen us play a lot worse and win games like today, of at least come away with a draw, today was about the individual mistakes of individual players and not a collective group. Players who are in desperate need of replacement. That's Dougies responsibility now.

Defence is shit and all 4 are Dougie's choice. I felt it needed saying

[Wandering Willy]

Bring back KD.

dougie said today (yesterday?) he doesn't want to ship any of them out...

[wanderers_on_tour]

Baptiste is being played horrifically out of position. We need left back cover and a new central defender before windows end (premier or loan).

[ChrisC]

Bring back KD.

Preston would never let him go. Ripping up trees down in League One.

[Worthy4England]

Bring back KD.

Our work here is done.

I'm getting a nosebleed with the speed our "goals for" column is ticking over at the moment, with all these fast pacy strikers.

[SmokinFrazier]

It shouldn't be that hard to make a defence of Mears, Knight, Wheater and Baptiste into a respectable unit. They'll never be great but they are so shambolic because the tactics are awful.

Hang on. You said every manager in the division would love to have our defenders. Why would they if they'll never be great?

I'm confuddled

Aye it's feckin' grim. Where's that buck stopped at the moment?

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Frazier's half right that those players should make a defence. They did last season, with one addition.

I can't help think it comes down to the KnightWheat partnership, from which everything bad springs; we could have Cafu and Maldini in their pomp either side and we'd still concede at least a goal a game. In fact, it's going up in every game they play together, unless we play three defensive midfielders in front of them, which surely gives you a clue.

I'll say it again: Matt Mills must be really, really f*cking shit to not get a game past those two.

[Worthy4England]

I coulda sworn one of the Palace fans said they were awful at the back (which I seem to recall they were), before they signed an ex-player as defensive coach? Can't remember his name, but I think he chose to stay put in the South....

[newboy]

Just got in left just after the 4th goal. We were abysmal from front to back Boggers aside. The centre back pairing is one of the worst I've seen Knight is a lazy clueless sack of sh1t, Wheater looks as if he's in pain and unfit. The midfield pairing of Spearing and Medo have the ability to boss the midfield but didn't. Prattley Beckford and N'Gog does not work headless chickens is the term that springs to mind The Brazilian who's name escapes me at the moment is a luxury we can't afford at the moment. Apart from Boggers Chungy is the only one who had a half decent game.
People calling for Dougie to go if he does we're still left with Knight who will still continue to draw his salary the man should be sacked his job is to defend it's clear to all he's failing in his duty if he was a security guard he'd have been sacked for the number of daylight robbery's that have taken place on his watch. Having said that the team as a whole did not defend Blackburn to their credit did defend as a team.
Everyone knows where the main problem lies the centre back pairing it's been like that long before Dougie came in that should have been the first area to be addressed . Instead we brought in more midfielders and if the rumour is true we're linked with another one. We also brought another striker in Beckford It can't be that there are no half decent centre backs out there (half decent would be an improvement on what we've got) Uncle Edddie is going to have to dig into his piggy bank or risk having the best stadium in the lower tiers. Until the centre back problem is addressed and Knights arse booted out the door no more of my hard earned is going on this lot.
