Bolton v Reading... Match thread

Imagine

If the 11 players on the pitch just rip up the rule book, ignoring all of Evatt’s tactics and just went for the win (jumpers for goalposts type stuff) cavalier to say the least, but we won 5-4 4-3 3-2

You wouldn’t hear me complaining

Where the fxkin entertainment gone?
Do I and countless others have to YouTube the Sunderland 6-0 or Exeter 7-0 games to find it (entertainment)

It’s so so boring watching Bolton Wanderers that I’m ashamed to be a fan at this moment in time and I’m ready for a new groove, which ain’t owt to do with Evatt

Clear off lad

Bolton 1 Reading 2

No o2m, you’re never getting too old for this

I harp back to Barcelona v Man Urinals (Messi Xavi Pique etc) pass pass pass Pep Pep Pep and the world was raving
Yes it was entertaining and quite brilliant in parts but once they had a strangle hold of the game, you know, couple of Messi goals up, they just passed the life out of me

Jump forward 15 or 20 years and he’s still doing it
That’s why we have all these stupid in game stats (possession % - defensive touches in opposition box blah blah blah)

Give me Rioch and Todd’s exciting football anyday

I sort of see that and no doubt both Wembley games were bigger. But when was the last time we got the opportunity to play at a top 6 game.

The Papa Johns was great but I didn't watch this seasons or any other seasons final. So I imagine any Premier league fan wouldn't have watched and may have seen it. Similarly Playoffs. Huge for us and L1 may have watched, may not. But I doubt it really got into the consciousness of the man of the street.


We don't go to Emirates often. Was it Anfield with Lennon the last real big one? Even that was Championship so straight to 3rd round. This isn't like White Hot Days where it was year in year out. This will be a huge game for Evatt who was non league 4 years ago. Think you may underestimate how much he might want this.

They've had North London Derby Sunday, Champions League THURSDAY?, Man City Sunday this is THE chance to play them and imagine the headlines if we can pull it off. That's national headlines.

Price from Henry Winter on Readings perilous predicament and also about their manager. (We’ve been here as well - Anderson / Yongge)


“Losing Selles would be a disaster. He’s doing a good job in trying circumstances. If he left, Selles would be picked up swiftly by a better run club. Reading fans post messages of support to Selles and his squad. They will back them loudly at Bolton Wanderers today. It’s about finding the balance between demonstrating support for the team while demonstrating against the owner”

Surely, we are a better run club??
Fancy a job Reuben??

May not need a new manager if we do the job today chip. At least he’s moved back to a sensible formation with 3 in the middle and just the two Dion and Vic up top. Just unsure about our wingbacks and I’d like to have seen Williams start instead of Schon but he’ll probably come on later? As long as they don’t start the slow sideways stuff that team should be good enough so let’s hope for the 3 points and a good performance?

Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal Charles with a penalty well deserved COYWM

How’s the manager doing so far Chip? 😀
