And I don't know where to begin with describing the shiteness of Twardzik. Lost every bout out there and completed approximately zero passes. He'll be murdered in league 1.
Iles said Twardzik started in (central, defensive) midfield, switched to right-back when Derik limped off, and played the second period at left-back. Was he equally awful in all three berths?
I missed the right back part, he was awful at left back and much much worse in midfield.

Twatdik should, for shame alone, either pack it all in or go & join Lennon in Edinburgh.

PP should be able to smell a dud.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

My bad. When starting RB Derik limped off, they brought on Twardzik in centre-mid and shuffled Vela from there to RB. Our Czech hero only played awfully (or worse) in two positions.

Only seen him play a couple of times, but on both occasions he was truly dreadful.

Opposition was no. 25ish in Denmark, so not particularly impressive. Helsingør had a couple of quality players only. Their big centrehalf looked very decent indeed. Taking the lack of quality into account I'm a little less positive about the Bolton performance. But all in all a pretty fair summary.

The individuals praised in the article were indeed the best on the pitch. Madine m.o.m - believe it or not!

Okay so long story short, im australian and live in australia, and my sister works as a paramedic in London. Im flying up thursday, and want to catch a bolton game for the first time in my life, during one of the days my sister works.

So basically i plan to go watch the Crewe game on the 22nd, and so im asking for your help. In the most simplistic way possible could you supply advice on how i could get to the game from London (Staying in Fulham). How much roughly does transport cost? Duration from Fulham.

Cheers

There are frequent direct trains from London Euston to Crewe on a daily basis. From Fulham to Euston I would suggest the underground. The train ride from Euston to Crewe could be as much as £100 if you don't book in advance, online. Paying on the Day on our Train system is a mug's game (unless dosh is no object). That train ride I would suggest is around the 2 hour mark - probably slightly less.

Here is some (probably more accurate) info:

Just stick Crewe Alexandra into Google and then do Directions, choosing the train icon and it will show you the route and timing. Basically you need to get from Fulham to Euston on the tube then the train from Euston to Crewe. The stadium is near the train station. You can use thetrainline.com to get train times and buy tickets, or pay more on the day. Bear in mind if you book advance tickets there is nowt to stop the game being moved to a different date and scuppering your often non-refundable train tickets!
