BOLTON v THE PIE MEN

[BWFC_Insane]

And prior to him joining Wigan? Or do we expunge those from the record when calling upon Wiki?

Klasnic can 'knock em in for fun' if that's what we want anyhow.....

[bobo the clown]

Was it just my hearing, or did Tuncay get announced as the Bolton Man of the Match, just as everyone was leaving the ground...

Strangest one in a long time for me...

Nope, you're reet. Me and matey boy both raised an eyebrow at that.

I'm trying to think of any other candidates.

er ............................. nope !!


That a guy who only played 30m could even be considered for it says it all.

90 in 274 over his career, like i said hardly knocking them in for fun.

So one in three. Now let's compare that with Mr Davies and M N'Gog, shall we?

Which is exactly why matey boy and I raised our eyebrows.

Got to agree bobo, whoever was named Motm it would have raised eyebrows. No one deserved it yesterday, all were piss poor.

simple - the less TIME they played - the less bad (measured in badness minutes) therefore, last man on= best man.

There's logic in there somewhere.

[Wandering Willy]

They should have given it to the crowd who had to sit through that shite.

Im pretty sure the sponsors behind it are going through the whole first team as the season goes by regardless of who has done what - Im not sure if Ive heard them announce the same player more than once!

[Gail Platz]

Aye, all fair comments. However, I note from yesterday that Wigan left Rodellega on the bench. He'd be the first name down at our place. That's a worry!

Goof player when he can be arsed. All too often he can't.

That's why he's not starting cos half the time he's having a massive sulk.

He is seriously overrated. I don't know what the big fuss is with him to be honest, he seems to have this reputation of being a good player but he hasn't done anything since he smashed a corker in against Villa at the beginning of last season.

Says something when Di Santo can get in the team in front of him!

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Wigan have completed three times as many passes as us.

I don't think I've ever seen such a low number of completed passes as us so far. It's barely one a minute.

We're getting outnumbered and dominated in midfield.

Playing 4-4-2 is not attacking, it's surrendering.

It needs to change, now, at half-time.

Asked Opta but they couldn't confirm. What they did say was that overall, we had the second-worst passing accuracy by any team in the PL this season and our worst passing accuracy since playing Wigan in Mar 2010.

I've nothing more to add except this. The decision to revert back from a successful formation undermines what faith I had allowed to build up in the recent run of better performances and results. I thought he might have learned, but it seems he hasn't.

That is an unbelievable stat.

Fewer than two passes a minute. fecking hell.

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Wonder what Swansea's are !

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

That is an unbelievable stat.

Fewer than two passes a minute. fecking hell.

Sadly, some still say that 4-4-2 is the best way to passing, attacking football.

Even worse, one of them is the manager. From The Guardian's report:

That they [Wigan] were level at that stage, however, pegged back by a fine Mark Davies strike after Gary Caldwell's header had finally put them ahead shortly before half-time, was almost ridiculous. Bolton were truly awful during the first half, and only when the manager, Owen Coyle, had made three substitutions did his side begin to look capable of taking advantage of Wigan's failure to make their superiority count .

It was not a question of the formation being at fault, said Coyle, somewhat testily, when questioned about his decision to play 4-4-2 with Kevin Davies recalled up front alongside David Ngog.

"It's not about tactics, it's about players, and the bottom line is we can't expect to play for 30 minutes in the Premier League and expect to win games. Having said that we very nearly did because after we levelled we were the team in the ascendancy – and still playing 4-4-2, the same shape as earlier in the game.

"We need to defend better collectively, and if we do that we have shown we can win games. We simply have to make sure we're out of the bottom three after the last game of the season, and I remain totally convinced we can do that."

Dear....





God.

Firstly...umm, derrrr.
And secondly - it's the new tactics, they're called 'being totally convinced'.

As you ask: in their home game against Wigan, Swansea attempted twice as many passes and completed three times as many.

The lady is not for turning. Prhaps he is mad afterall

Maybe introducing alcohol into his nightly horlicks will start to clarify matters.
