BWFC v QPR Match Thread

For some reason I cant explain ...I got a good feeling about Doidge ......no idea why !

After a 💩 week let's hope we can end it on a positive note with 3 points I think I will stick my neck out and go for a Bolton, Lancashire double 3-1 and Lancashire to come back with the T20 trophy 😀😀😀

Well that's my double gone Lancashire have just taken a beating against Worcestershire COYWM at least give us a wanderers win

Well the luck couldn't last much longer rftr could it? And people question why I don't go. One up top at home again against a struggling team and still no sign of creativity in midfield with Oz. Revert to type? Has Parkinson ever been a different type?

Well I don’t manage a football team for a living and even I knew what today’s outcome would be!!!
Yeah of course it was a guess at the score line but given the week we’ve had and today’s headline of ‘let’s do it for Eddie’ you just knew we were never on for a victory..
‘Wally with the brolly’ he might be, but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out how to our fox Parkinson.

Waste of time moaning about tactics etc coz its never gonna change under this Gonk.!! There are too many posters on here who can`t or won`t see the wood for the trees. Parkinson will empty the Reebok. Next 5 matches...…..Middlesbro away, Ipswich away, Derby home, Stoke away and Blackburn Home...….2 points from that lot if we are lucky.!!! I swore blind I would not return to the Reebok while Parky is in charge....turns out I was wrong. I will be going to the Rod Stewart concert next June. He might be getting on a bit now, but one thing is for sure....He will be a bloody lot more entertaining than anything Parkinson has served up during the last 2 years. Should listen to Whites 63` ….he seems to be not far off the mark most of the time.

Well I was certainly right there!



Our home form is dire. No entertainment whatsoever.



We set up as an away side would. One man upfront totally isolated with no one within 20 yards of him and 3 midfielders who all play deep.



Shocking!



We set off very slack again and QPR were all over us from the off. Our sole idea was high balls forward to our one man standing miles away from his colleagues who made no effort to help him.



QPR started with the tactic of putting the ball behind Wheater and Beevers for their nippy forwards to get to and it unsettled us badly. QPR’s midfield passed and moved and totally dominated us.



We had one chance when Ameobi got his head on to a long free kick but headed poorly wide.



The first disaster struck when, not for the first time, QPR broke into acres of space down their right. A simple ball across and Freeman, a midfielder note, nipped in front of a slow Wheater and scored. Totally deserved as we had done nothing.



We were just not at the races but then Noone missed a glorious chance when a loose ball fell to him 12 yards out on his left foot. Instead of blasting it, he tried a fancy sidefoot curler and put it wide. Terrible.



By this time Ameobi had left us injured and Wildschut was on the left and Noone on the right.



Nothing changed though and I cannot recall us having a shot on target in the first half.



So into half time and a pep talk from the manager? No chance! Everything remained the same. QPR just out passed us as every side that has come to Bolton this season has done.



We pressed a bit then committed suicide. Firstly Noone totally missed a challenge on their left when he should have won the ball. QPR got to the edge of the area where 3 defenders all managed to fail to get a challenge in and the ball was crossed. Grounds then had acres of time to clear but the QPR man, another midfielder note, took the ball off him and scored. At least 5 of our players could have cleared that attack!



So 2-0 and the manager brought Magennis on and played 2 upfront. Why not from the start?



We then pulled one back when Magennis blasted a free kick through the wall and through the keeper with 20 minutes to go.



So a barnstorming last 20 minutes? No. It improved a bit and we pressured. Olkowski made the goalie make a save a last but it was so poor. QPR just battened down the hatches, went defensive and won easily.



I mentioned above that both QPR goals came from midfield players. None of our 3 midfielders actually got into the QPR box. We were so negative.



This is 100% relegation form.



Ken Anderson keeps calling for people to attend home games but there is no entertainment whatsoever. We play negatively and hope to grab something. We have been second best in all 4 home games.



It is awful.



2 wins out of the last 7 home games. Awful





Alnwick - 6 Not really much to do.



Olkowski - 6 Looks class but must bear a share of the blame for the second goal.



Wheater - 4 Troubled by the pace of QPR forwards. Some good tackles but could not dominate.



Beevers - 5 As Wheater, it was a struggle in the air.



Grounds - 2 Dreadful. We were wide open down our left all match and his ball control for their second goal was school boyish.



Lowe - 3 Totally dominated by QPR’s midfield. Not a positive pass from him all day.



Williams - 4 From being a terrier at Preston, he was awful today. QPR’s midfield just passed the ball around him.



O’Neil - 4 Another who slipped from being good at Preston to awful today. His free kicks were appalling.



Ameobi - 3 Glass joints. A couple of hard tackles and he was done. Contributed little prior to his injury.



Noone - 3 Missed a glorious chance when he tried to curl the ball in from 12 yards instead of blasting it. Started the disaster of the second goal with a pathetic challenge.



Doidge - 4 Tried hard. Won his first 2 headers from our hoofs forward but discovered there was no player around when he flicked them on. Got out-muscled by the QPR defence. Needs to strengthen up but hopeful at least.



Wildschut - 3 Little contribution. Some disappointing final balls.



McGennis - 5 Put himself around when he came on.



Oztumer - 4 Given just 10 minutes at the end.
