I would also vote for this team with Jeff King instead of Vela. This should have been the attacking, "offensive" team, put out against Burton.

Not hard is it Pedro you could be manager, King instead of Vela. I will be in Kings Lynn with the wife for the weekend with media black out from 12.30 up till 4 o'clock on Sunday then I will check the table. Not expecting any joy but will have a glass of wine if we are above the drop line. For me it should be over now and us on holiday. 2-1 COYWM fingers crossed.

That's pretty much the type of team most of us have been hoping to see all season Pedro. I personally wouldn't start Hall, I'd have him on the bench along with King and put Ameobi alongside Alfie and I would replace him in midfield with one of Henry or Pratley just to shield the back four but other than that, bring it on. Like Chip, I'd back you for next manager too. 😉

Back home to Switzerland in time to suffer on i-follow. The team suggested looks good to me. What about Obasi? Is he injured?

Drop Vela AND Ameobi, bring Ameobi on if needs must as I think he’s been running around aimlessly. He probably thinks he’s the best player we have since his Bristol City goal and he could be right as the rest are fairly shite anyway but I’d still drop him as he doesn’t do anywhere near enough for the team
As I’ve said previoisly, I don’t want to see any player drop to their knees in despair if we do get relegated as they’ve only themselves to blame, but if they’ve given their all in the Forest game and got the win and we still get relegated then that’s a little different
COYWM let’s live the dream

(With apologies to Paul Anka and Old Blue Eyes)
The Manager's Lament.
And now, the end is near, and so I face the final fixture,
The fans cry out for change, but will I play my usual mixture?
No Hall, the fans will call, and my I say, not in a kind way,
And Ken, will tweet again, "Let's do it my way!"
No wins for so many weeks, the struggles raged all through the season,
My talisman had to be sold, so I was told, for business reasons,
The fans all surely hoped to see a different style of play,
But no, oh no not me, I did it my way.
For what is a manager, what has he got,
If not hoof-ball, then not a lot,
No pass and move, or skill and flair,
Just play the ball to one who's not there,
The season ends, I'm losing friends,
But I did it my way.....................

The joys of retirement RFTR...watching on Sunday will be stressful enough, but I hope some magic dust will be liberally sprinkled at the Macron and that Derby, Preston and Fulham do the business!

Forest have failed to score in four of their previous five away games (D2 L3), losing each of the previous three.

From LOV: Bolton have recorded just one league victory over Nottingham Forest this millennium, with just one solitary celebration of three points in 12 attempts since October 1999. Looking back further, we’ve won just two of the side’s last 16 league clashes in the last 25 years. And, even further back, we’ve won just four of the last 24 matches against Forest in all competitions since 1980. Slightly more encouragingly, three quarters of those wins in the last four decades have been on home soil - although we’ve only beaten Forest on two of their seven trips to the Reebok / Macron Stadium. The run should have ended at Forest earlier in the season but, in true Bolton fashion, we bottled it despite dominating the match and lost 3-2.  |

If you were Ken, or anyone else, and you owned a restaurant and you had a junior or sous chef who was picking up all sorts of awards and meanwhile the head chef was producing food so bland that it was putting customers off coming back and ruining the places reputation. You would think the logical step is glaringly obvious. Get rid of the useless chef and bring in Mick McCarthy. (Joking, you would clearly look at bringing in the chef and making sure he had that bit of extra support to make the step up) You would not that useless chef cook for the most important meal of the year. (Mother's Day I dunno) I've exhausted the metaphor, but for me it was obvious certainly from Birmingham that Lee and Kelly should have been given the remaining games. |
