Can lightning strike twice??
Can we pot another 5 goals??
Can we not get ahead of ourselves??
This game is not won, before a ball has been kicked in anger
It only takes a Mo Eissa early flukey shot that goes in off the back of Rico and they shut up shop like all other small teams seem to do to get the points!!!
It has to be all about how we set up
The points and the win are not a given, we have to earn them
That said, I’d be surprised if we don’t go in at half time 2 goals to the good

Spot on rioch, we’ve been over confident before and it’s come back to bite us. We should have won easily against FVR and Cheltenham but we struggled and were very lucky in both to come away with the points. The same applies tomorrow and what we do know is that when teams shut up shop against us we struggle to break them down. For me we need to be right on it from the start and get that early goal. I know it’s stating the obvious but we mustn’t get into the slowly slowly walking pace stuff at the back waiting for a perfect opportunity. With the way we’ve been attacking teams recently we just don’t need that so for me we start Dion and Shorty up top again and run their defenders around and drag them out of position. I think we’ll win comfortably but to be fair MK are no mugs and in a false position for me so give them less than the respect they deserve and it could easily cost us. With other teams facing difficult games another 3 points tomorrow could really move us forward. One concern. Will Evatt try to force Kacha back in?

For his position Special K shouldn't even get a place on the bench tonight. He is behind Charles, Adeboyejo and Jerome as a striker and Shoretire and Lee as a 10. If he had any sense he would have used his 3 week holiday and worked with Bradley with a view to him doing that wing back role as that's where we're lightest. He's got Jones there, but ideally we need him as CB cover, and Izzy.
The 0-5 was a real statement win, people will have taken notice. I wonder if managers now will see what Cheltenham almost did vs what we did to posh and think if there's any hope of getting a point from Unibol it has to be that blueprint. (I hope not but makes sense)
MK Dons, in my mind, always try and play it about. They gave us a really comfortable, surprisingly easy win at thier place and I'm hoping for the same tonight. This team should now be scoring 2s and 3s in most matches. They have the confidence.
2-0.

This team should now be scoring 2s and 3s in most matches. They have the confidence. 2-0. I agree on the scoring of 2s and 3s now OM especially the way we’re playing now and we’ve finally got a midfield that’s fitting in and working with our attack which we haven’t really had before. The defence looks sound now with Rico and Toal being outstanding and if Mbete continues as he’s started we won’t even miss Johnson. Actually I still prefer Jones at RWB than Bradley as I think his final delivery is much better. Despite Bradley’s undoubted attacking intent it’s wasted unless it leads to something though to be fair I think both of them are a strength for us. John at LWB has really impressed since his return and has filled a major weakness for us because Iredales never really impressed and is nowhere near as effective going forward as John down that left side. At the moment I’d fancy us against anyone so as long as we don’t get complacent I can see our winning run continuing indefinitely. The Wycombe game is the cruncher for me with their games in hand and if we can win that one or even not lose it, we’ll be well situated for a top 6 finish at least. I still think the automatics are beyond us but you never know? |

Summat tells me that half a million on Adeboyejo might have been better spent on that Langstaff kid at Notts County.
The boy can’t stop scoring and if it’s in you at that level, I’d say he’d be just as good as Adeboyejo at this level
If you watch some of his goals, it’s like watching Andy Walker, he just seems to have a chemistry for finding positions, but his technique at finishing is a joy to see
Time will tell, but VA’s been here a month and not had a shot on target (granted, he’s not played much for us) but the lad needs a goal and he has to be a very for tonight’s opponents

Evatt story today was that the 5-0 could be bettered. Reading the story the areas he's pinpointed is "pressing the full backs"
This is all sounding like a nod to the reintroduction of Kachunga and a return to the patient build up ways.

It's a win tonight for me. We're gettng some momentum and there's a feeling building around the club that we've not had since Sam. The two new strikers look threatening even though they've not scored yet. I think we have goals in us across the team. I just wonder if there's enough games left in the season to get promoted. 🤞🤞

This is one we need to win to keep up the momentum and keep the dream of automatic promotion alive.
MK Dons have as many away wins as us – 6 – and have won their last 2 away games so we need to be careful.
The team more or less picks itself, barring any injuries that we do not know about. The only area of debate is probably do we play Lee for 2 games in 4 days. I think he is essential for the Wycombe away game on Saturday so Adeboyejo will probably come in with Shoretire dropping back into Lee’s position.
We don’t tend to concede at home but, Portsmouth apart, we don’t score many either. It seems a bit of a struggle if the opponents drop deep with a 10 man defence.
Our quality should be enough to get a win so 2-1.

Should be a stroll in the park after Saturday Santos now the greatest centre back ever and wait for it Kachunga is back flipping heck some fan’s are easily pleased. I thought you had to perform on the money week in week out to become a Bolton legend but no a couple of goals and a few clean sheets and it’s legend status. I will hold fire with kissing Santos’s bottom until he proves himself over the rest of the season without any major mistakes. So onto the game 3-1 🤞onwards and upwards COYWM
