the glorious "I was wrong" thread

[Dr Hotdog]

I was wrong about Bo Hansen. I thought the conveyor belt of exotic Scandinavian talent would keep on giving with this one. Back then I believed everyone we signed from that part of the world was a diamond. Gudni, Eidur, Arnar, Claus, Per & Michael. Oh Bo. You numpty. Wikipedia has him down for 15 goals in the bright white of Bolton. I must challenge that. How many success stories have we had from Northern Europe since that golden age? Just Jussi? Certainly not Braaten, Elmandonkey or Wilhelmsson. Layabouts.

I was wrong cutting Megson some slack once,

I was totally wrong in my intial thoughts about Coyle

I started the Freedman out thread a little late, sorry

[B4E]

I defended N'Gog until the day he left.

Looks like I'm wrong about Freedman but still have hope in him.

I didn't think Phil Gartside was that bad until I found out that we're fecked for money. Out of everything that he's done, the fact we're in this situation where we can't get the player everyone wanted for a million is ultimately holding us back.

Another here for Vaz Te. Still mystifies me, that. I also thought Nicky Hunt could go a long way (not down). Both show how a lot of football's in the mind not the feet.

Thought we could get out of this division at the first time of asking, although I still say it's more interesting than the Premier.

I still DO think Vaz Te will make it, so I'm not admitting I'm wrong yet.

I recall thinking that Allardyce's football had become stale and being bored with it by the end. Really.

I didn't think signing Hierro for what was, in practical terms by the time he signed and got fit, a little more than half a season, made any sense at all. I now believe that he was a footballing God and possibly the best player I've ever been privileged to see in a Bolton shirt ... even in that short period, even at that age.

I also watched Campo play at Centre-Half and thought "wtf ?"

Just watching the man himself doing the Champs Lge draw. He looks a lot healthier than Dougie, cracking tan.

We need to try and pin the bugger on this one.

Do you think this will be his year Bobo?

[General Mannerheim]

i was quick to slate and right off debutant Lukas Jutkiewicz at QPR last season

[TANGODANCER]

I can remember being all excited when Peter Beardsly arrived here. Didn't last long....

God no. It'll be in 4 or 5 years time. Come back then and if I've been wrong I'll freely admit it.

[thebish]

- I used to think Nicky Hunt was a decent RB when he was with us,

the thing is, though - he was!! we are not imagining it!!

[LeverEnd]

Yep forgot about him. Saw his debut at Coventry when he set up 2 goals for Blake I think, and thought he'd star for us. I think they spanked us 5-1 in the return fixture at the Reebok and I can't remember anything else he did.

Bad hunch?

I thought when I saw your name as last post it might be about the EU...

[officer_dibble]

Owen Coyle was my main one. A bit more leftfield was my adulation for Andranik. still think he did not get enough chances!

[EverSoYouri]

I remember watching us "drub" Reading 3-1 and thinking, yeah, Sammy Lee is the light and the way and that Daniel Braaten, what a player he's gonna be for us! GULP!

[Wandering Willy]

After seeing his debut in a friendly, not only did I think SKD was shoite, but I thought fellow debutant Michael Bridges was good!

Don't be so harsh on yourself - you got one spot on.

"There's not much between the two sides so it should be a really close, exciting game."

At Wembley about 10 minutes before kick-off.

In an Amsterdam bar with William the White on that day. We insisted the barman put the match on the TV, showing him our scarves as proof of our affiliation. A few minutes in he asked in a sympathetic voice:

"So. This team in white, they're your team?"
