Re: Bolton v Stoke
True, but they don't chop and change to much even in europe. I think delap's arms will get a rest tonight, they may rest 1 of the back 4 too and start with walters and jones up front with crouch rested.boltonboris wrote:If 4 players play for Stoke from tonights lineup, I'll be amazed. They've a big squad.Jokers in White wrote:We will see just how hard they have trained this week come full time sun, stoke's players should be knackered after the amount of travelling and games they will have played. Hope its raining because delap can't throw a wet ball!

Disagree. We certainly didn't look confident against QPR until we scored. And we've rarely looked confident since. You can win the odd game even when confidence is shot. I think they're a fragile set of tarts as as it is, and I don't think the atmosphere around the club has recovered since Stoke. I think psychologically beating Stoke would be a massive lift, would frame the debacle, and allow us to move on, far bigger than beating Wigan, or had we beaten Swansea. And massive for Coyle,who hasn't recovered. I still think there's an indirect, pervasive influence from that Stoke game around the whole place. We want catharsis!

Re: Bolton v Stoke
We will win this one. Bet we will see Jones and Jerome up front which we can handle. They have no depth on the wings and will be useless in CM and slow at th back. We need Ngog and Tuncay to stretch them and Petrov and Eagles on the wing to keep the FBs honest. Play the ball into space for our forwards to run onto and lom for the ball over the top to expose their lack of speed. Steady the nerves lads and 'ave a right go. They are tired, press them high up the pitch and give them no time on the ball.

Depression is just a state of mind, supporting Bolton is also a state of mind hence supporting Bolton must be depressing QED

The Wanderers are coming up the hill boys,
They all laugh at us, they all mock at us,
They all say our days are numbered,
Born to be a Wanderer, victorious are we....

They're going to twist the knife and taunt us mercilessly, aren't they?
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Re: Bolton v Stoke
Massive game but I can't see us winning this....but Coyle won't go even if we get dicked 4-0 / 5-0
If we're lucky we may just get a draw, but I suspect that Stoke will be up for this far more than our set of overpaid excuses for professional footballers & coaches, their fans will revel in taking the piss out of us about wembley for 90 mins. We'll start well for 15 - 20 mins at a high tempo and then Jussi will make his usual lethargic cock up and then swear at the fans for moaning, then the players will revert to type and roll over wanting their bellies tickled, and then after the game we'll get the same old excuses from clueless Coyle
But I really hope I'm proved wrong and this Bolton team & Coyle finally grow a pair and we get a vital 3 points, because another loss to Stoke especially at home would be very damaging especially to the fans who witnessed the Wembley debacle and they may turn on Coyle vocally.
Let's hope that for once this week Coyle & his pals have actually studied Stoke and come up with system & style to beat them, instead of concentrating on darts & ping pong competitions.

Re: Bolton v Stoke
Dear Jim,
Please can you fix it for us to somehow not get dicked on sunday vs stoke...maybe some kind of flu epidemic in the stoke squad, or give their keeper the runs...not that they'd need him but hey, Pratley scored from the halfway line once, and i bet a Kevin Davies penatly would have a chance then. Anyway i'm babbling now...nothing worse than 0-2 please.
Yours,
Jimmy
