www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/18754842.bolton-wanderers-boss-ian-evatt-pin-points-issue-causing-clubs-slow-start/good grief ..one horrific line in this : "It’s taking longer than we wanted,” he said. “We analyse every game and though we have been beaten in the three league games, we could probably have won all three in different circumstances, taking our chances. I don’t think there has been much in the games." yes perhaps if we'd bunged the ref enough we might have. can't think of many other ways. thankfully, he does improve and get close to the truth here : The stuff I look at – and we have an algorithm for this – is how much distance we’re covering.
“The more you cover, the better chance you have of winning games. And we’re not covering enough, not showing enough intensity with and without the ball.
BSA used to talk about the number of high intensity sprints, and we aren't getting those at either end of the pitch. a lot of stats available to the wider public now. pity ones like these aren't. is Santos even capable of a high intensity sprint ?

My worry too rtf. When he came and said he was trying to emulate Pep G and more particularly Chris Wilder I was hopeful he’d call a spade a spade but I’m afraid he’s coming across a bit soft. I can tell you that from listening to many post match comments from Wilder, I’ve never heard him gloss over the facts. If they were bad he’s called the team out, not in a caustic way but that he was disappointed with the performance and sometimes even When they’ve won. He expects the team to go out to win every game, whoever they’re playing. I’m not saying Evatt doesn’t but coming out with comments like those when everyone who saw the games knows the truth. It just winds people up I’m afraid and will quickly lose him respect if he doesn’t stop it. I know he doesn’t want to be too hard on the players and he has been critical but not hard enough for me. Strangely I think he’ll sort it for this week and with a few adjustments I actually think we will win on Saturday. Yes, I know, I’ll go and have a lie down

I actually think we will win on Saturday. Yes, I know, I’ll go and have a lie down You're learning whites! I had fingertips on keyboard. lol I hope too that we win, although I can't see it. I will buy a match ticket. If we lose and it's a good game, he gets a reprieve. If we lose and it's abysmal, then the club have to be thankful that they sold 8000 season tickets. There won't be that many sold if we're a mid table team in division four for a few years.

I won’t be able to watch this game because it’s my little granddaughters 4th birthday and I promised to take her to Blackpool to see the lights. Surely though, they must come good at some point because however much we criticise a number of the players, the squad overall is more than capable of doing better. I agree with IE that if we can score and take the lead it may lift the pressure and start a revival so hopefully by hook or by crook if we can do that on Saturday the comeback starts there.
