( 1st para copied in from grimsby thread as relevant here )
Oldham up next for us and they've shipped 13 goals... worst total in the Div. could be a chance to add a few more to our total.
although the "shots conceded" stats for Oldham are surprisingly ok. better than ours, even though we've only conceded 6.
maybe their keeper is seriously dodgy. certainly not a game for us to be shot-shy in. Oldham have scored 7 , compared to our 2.
they are rock bottom, with no wins. pressure is on a bit to win this one, but can they relax & be composed....enjoy it...but still graft hard.
I'm actually predicting a win for us here. i'll go 2-1. Oldham have had 2 away games and conceded 3 in each .
we've got to go at these lot. don't sit back and be a tight low scoring affair. Oldham are well capable of getting goals...scored 3 away at
Colchester...scored 2 at home to League leaders Morecambe last week in a narrow defeat 3-2.
we need to bombard them with shots, & get bodies into the box, and let our quality come through.

Bombarding them with bodies in the box and shots sounds great rtf, but unless we change our ponderous approach we’ll be lucky to beat last weeks no shots. You’d have to think that sooner or later the penny would drop that we need to move the ball quicker and start to play it forward instead of sideways and back but somehow I’m not betting on it. Despite my doubts I’m still going for a win and if we get the first goal early I think we’ll get a few so I’ll say 3-1 to the Whites. I don’t expect Evatt to make many substantial changes so I think we will start with much the same team as last week. I do though hope that if he has to make substitutions he’s a bit more adventurous than last week. One last thing, I don’t want to see Baptiste anywhere in the match day squad.

This really is a “must win” game.
Failure to win and we are in the bottom 6 and floundering – also remember that it will then be 4 home games out of the 6 played.
I presume the manager will go with more or less the same team.
Defensively, we have stabilised a bit – not 100% confident with them but as long as Baptiste is not brought in, we will be OK.
I need to see our midfield move the ball faster and forward instead of the slow tedious backwards/sideways passing that has been our style this season. If anyone saw the Bradford v Harrogate game on Monday, just note how fast Harrogate moved the ball. No big boots just fast accurate passing along the ground.
Upfront, I am with AndyL on the Delfouneso situation. He is just too deep. Looking at England v Denmark, Rashford played wide out on the left and, other than some long distance hopeful shots, he hardly ever got in the box. Well, to me, that is how Delfouneso plays. He is just too deep, leaving Doyle too isolated.
Having said all that, we are playing the worst team in the league but be careful as they do seem to be able to score but then also concede ridiculously. Time for Doyle and others to get goals. I need the midfield to help in the attempts on goal column as they all seem too deep for me.
I am stupidly confident as usual and will go for a 3-1 win.

Talking of Saturday's game has anyone got their free match programme download yet? I've had the usual offer to purchase a hard copy, but nothing else.

Not me Kenglo and I’ve also been charged by iFollow for home games despite entering my access code and completing the details as requested. I contacted the club who insisted I took it up with iFollow direct. I did on Tuesday but still haven’t had a reply yet so I’ll probably also be charged for this weeks too. I can only hope Saturdays game is at least worth paying for!

It’s got NIL NIL all over it
Wish I could be more optimistic but when you have a 25 goal striker and it’s took him 5 games to get off the mark, there’s something not right in the tactics and set up (obviously)
2 goals scored in 5 games!!!! What a joke, only, I’m not laughing

I can only hope Saturdays game is at least worth paying for! Best of British luck there whites. I made a cock up and accidentally paid for the Newport match and have exchanged a few emails, the last one was from them asking me for my club code which I have sent them but had no response since and the money hasn't been refunded yet. I need to chase them about it again. They are quick enough to take the money out, almost instantaneously, not quite as keen to give it back. I even tried the chat function before the game started and all they suggested was to send an email, which I had already done, twice days before. In your case I don't think it's right that the club should negate all responsibility, as they have given you the code in the first place. You are applying the code before you pay, because that was what I did wrong for the Newport match. |

www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/18798390.ian-evatt-wanted-bring-peter-kioso-luton-town-bolton/I presume this new guy Kioso will come straight in. bit baffled by the signing. you'd think we'd try and get something we didn't have..a winger , a target man centre forward . we already have a defensive rb or right centre back in Brocky. we have Hickman as right wing back. surely Isgrove is also meant to be a wide midfield / rwb too ? . obviously we do have a winger/forward in Gnahoua, although Evatt didn't show a lot of faith in him giving him 0 minutes last week in a game where we're not creating much and had 0 shots on target. the last we heard Jones' injury wasn't as bad as first feared. and supposedly defence isn't the big issue to solve. attack is . we're back to relying on full backs for creativity !?!?

I think after the Newport defeat there was a noticeable change in Evatt. After the Grimsby game, although i peg him responsible for some awful substitutions, i got the same feeling that he knows things need to change and i'm confident it will be tomorrow.
4-0.

Not sure about today we know what these players are capable of Ian has told us how good this team is he has seen it on the training ground but unfortunately you don’t win games on the training ground. It’s about time they started playing as good as Ian says they can starting today let’s go straight at them high tempo and win 2-1 stay safe one and all COYWM

just reading the complimentary matchday programme. a nice gesture. the PRAVDA style reporting does tickle me though. try this example... guess the score from this under 18's game... T he young Wanderers were once again unable to turn their first half performance in to three points when they hosted their Rochdale counterparts.
Wanderers controlled the majority of the first half dominating possession and creating numerous chances to put the game out of reach of their opponents.
Pressing well from the front Rochdale struggled to get out of their own half.
Wanderers’ Academy Manager Mark Litherland said: “We have got to start winning football matches. We are dominating large amounts of the game but not taking our chances.
*** *** *** *** made your guess yet ***** ***** ***** ****** final score.. Bolton u18's 2. Rochdale u18's 4. a familiar story. this is like a Boxer saying I got a couple of good jabs in early on....but then later i got knocked out. it wasn't a 0-0 or 1-0 defeat. we shipped 4 goals. and if you ship 4 when you're playing well, i hate to see you on a bad day !! things have since picked up since then and we've beat top of the table Walsall. www.bwfc.co.uk/news/2020/october/under-18s-report-walsall-1-2-bolton-wanderers/god knows where we are in the table. obviously player development is as important as results at this level. but still would be interesting to know. |

here's the team news. no surprise Kioso straight in.
Comley in. bit surprised by that. the bwfc analysis fella who does those mini clips
was talking very positively about Tutte's performance last week.
bench seems a bit lacking of attacking options. no Riley .
no sub keeper..yet 2 more centre backs on when already 3 on pitch !?

Appears to be no sound on my PC again unlike my iPad. Can anyone advise if I need a different sound file other than the Realtek one included?

No Darcy again then yet Comley gets another start. Three players who shouldn’t bo on that field today for me. Sarcevic, Comley and Delfouneso. None of them have done anything yet in any game. It doesn’t matter what your wage is or your reputation before coming here, if you’re not doing it on match days you should be out. All three need a kick up the jacksy and the best way to do that is bench them until they get the message. |

Try right clicking on the speaker icon, bottom right and run thro' troubleshoot. There is also a video on youtube to troubleshoot this too. I'll find it and send you the link later. Qut does sound work with youtube, skype etc.? You could check the mute button too. I'm not laughing, it happens. Enjoy the game. |
