They're both very good sides. This is the thing about next season and why it's not going to the the parade some Bolton fans think.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Fri May 06, 2022 11:33 amAye - but they were still 4th in the "Away" table, they only lost 5 away all season...with MKD 9th in the "Home" table, they also lost 5 at home. Wycombe have lost 2 at MKD this season, both by an odd goal...
So taking everything into consideration, I'm non the wiser.
I was confident we'd make the play-offs, but everyone at the top just kept winning and it was us who fell short.
This is both a really winnable league and hellish difficult.

Re: Tonight's Football
Yeah - you're talking to someone who never thought we'd make it this season. I think 3rd to 7th will be a more achievable target for us next year. I'm certainly not on HMS Pisstheleague....GhostoftheBok wrote: ↑Fri May 06, 2022 11:38 amThey're both very good sides.

Re: Tonight's Football
This season isn't radically different from last season, other than we have a much better baseline to work from and more money.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Fri May 06, 2022 11:50 amYeah - you're talking to someone who never thought we'd make it this season.

We still need to have an amazing window to get out of this division.
We can win the league. So can about 15 other sides. Most of them will be a bit crap. Hopefully we're not.

Re: Tonight's Football
Anyone who thinks we will storm the league no problem is obviously not used to watching Bolton wanderers or indeed football. Tough league. We can win it with the right signings and a fair wind. We could also finish mid table. I’m hoping we get it right and at least hit top 6.

Re: Tonight's Football
The defensive shape is much better now. We've got our patterns and triggers drilled down in 3-4 different systems. Partnerships are forming up front. We absolutely never quit.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Fri May 06, 2022 5:26 pmAnyone who thinks we will storm the league no problem is obviously not used to watching Bolton wanderers or indeed football.

Set piece are still an issue, but it's 100% about recruitment and preseason being injury-free.

Re: Tonight's Football
Huge mistake from the Wednesday defender to let Sunderland score. Wednesday has a shocking half really.

Utd are losing 4-0 at Brighton. There's a lot to say about the vindication of modern football recruitment and coaching, but ultimately it's just very funny.

Re: Tonight's Football
Man Utd’s problems come down to desperately poor owners and poor folk running it. Appointed bad managers then got good ones and shown no patience. Finally settled on an absolute joke in Solskjaer.GhostoftheBok wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 6:52 pmUtd are losing 4-0 at Brighton.

I’m interested in what part of modern football recruitment you’d sign Pogba who in my view is one of the biggest frauds in English football I’ve ever seen. But I guess there will be a new definition thrown out to explain that.

I was talking about Man City currently being in talks to sign Pogba according to a series of reports.GhostoftheBok wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 8:24 pmI'm not sure what you read that to mean, but the vindicated modern methods belong to Brighton, not Utd.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 8:14 pmMan Utd’s problems come down to desperately poor owners and poor folk running it.

Re: Tonight's Football
Oh, fair enough. The report I saw was that his agent (same as Haaland) had offered them Pogba. I don't think it's a planned transfer, so it would be out of character - they'd definitely have a meeting about being offered a players like Pogba, though. De Bruyne needs his minutes managing and they have some young mids who need 2-3 seasons before they're ready to step up. The Pogba at Utd and the Pogba elsewhere are very different players, so it depends what their team think they'd get from him. If they think they'd get Juve Pogba for 3 seasons they might go for it.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 9:15 pmI was talking about Man City currently being in talks to sign Pogba according to a series of reports.
Purely as a personal view, I think he'd do well with Rodri behind him; but I don't think they'll do the deal. I could be wrong, but it feels like an agent trying to get his guy a bigger offer elsewhere.
Probably worth noting that, for a fraud, 10 goal involvements in 16 starts this season is pretty impressive.

Was a good game.
A proper football club wins. A bunch of plastics loses.
Can’t ask for much more than that.

Re: Tonight's Football
Yup. I think MK Dons are a very well-run club, but they're also a crime scene. They're the only club where if they folded I'd find it hard to feel bad for them. If they'd have gone up with AFC going down it would have felt very wrong.
Re: Tonight's Football
Think City will be happy they waited a year.

Re: Tonight's Football
People seem to have forgotten they also have Alvarez coming in, who is a superb prospect. City are getting in two of the finest 18-yard-box predators in world football, both for bargain prices by current standards.
