As much as I love watching Bolton 63’ my grandkids and niece seem to take a lot of my weekends and as I’m not getting any younger unfortunately none of the girls are interested in football so I’ll watch when I can. Take care mate stay safe one and all COYWM Couldn’t agree more chip, I now enjoy watching my sons granddaughter playing for Milmoor girls on Saturday mornings, then taking my daughters 5 year old little princess to her martial arts on Sunday morning. It keeps me pretty busy but it’s far more important to me than watching a bunch of extremely average, over paid individuals pretending to be footballers at the UniBol. I retain my ST in support of my club but if a match interferes with the kids now there’s only one winner!! 😉

Still a long way to go until the January window so we need to just hang in there until then, I'm not sure why Thomason is not being played maybe he's not one of Ian's gang as I'm sure he could give us some momentum going forward. Kachunga is a waste of a shirt he get's shoved of the ball to easy and is afraid to get stuck in. I'm sorry but Delfouneso has to be put out to grass in the window and Isgrove is not a defender he need's to be on the wing where he belongs. It's to early to be talking about getting rid of the manager as he's doing a decent job if only he would stop playing players out of position. Rome wasn't built in a day yes we had a good start but now teams are starting to sus us out so Ian needs to change things around a bit anyway onwards and upwards stay safe one and all COYWM

Our possession stats are very misleading. If they could be broken down by player or territory, then I'm sure Dixon and the two CBs or possession within a couple of yards of our penalty area would feature very highly. We're too slow and predictable at the back. Other teams have worked us out. They know if they have two players pressing Dixon and the two CBs they have plenty of time to re-group into two banks of four, meaning we have to be exceptional to break through. We have to turn defence into attack much quicker. That doesn't mean wholesale long ball but it does mean the occasional long ball is not a bad thing.

Just go and watch how Burnley scored 2 of their goals on Saturday. They are not long ball merchants but they did just what you are advocating westandlower.
