bizarre article. he wants to see Mboro type attacking spark. this is the team that lost 1-0 to Leeds at wkend !?!?!
then he goes on to say :
"The Whites boss added: “We have good options in the squad like Liam Feeney who is a wide player that is mobile and quick.
“We played more of a tighter unit against Forest but I thought when Liam came on he did well and helped us".
Feeney DIDN'T COME ON AT ALL. he didn't play a second as i said in my match report. is he getting confused with Trotter ??

& i don't know know whether to blame Iles or DF or both..but quite ridiculous lengthy moaning about budgets for rest of article :
"Freedman’s frustration in the transfer market as he heads into the final two weeks of the summer window will only intensify tonight when big-spending Boro arrive at the Macron Stadium.
Spanish boss Aitor Karanka has been busy in the summer with new faces almost in double figures.
The likes of Adam Clayton from Huddersfield and Lee Tomlin from Peterborough have been joined by several of Karanka’s countrymen at the Riverside Stadium – the most notable 24-year-old Kike for a reported £3million from Murcia.
Freedman is unable to compete with the financial clout at Boro and admits it makes for a difficult task tonight.
But he is confident his more modestly assembled squad can match the Teessiders.
The Scot said: “It is a very tough test. The manager has come in and been backed very heavily this summer.
“He has recruited very good players and paid a lot of money for them so they are going to give it a right good go this season.
“Boro have had a quiet few years but in the last year or so they have recruited players like Tomlin, Adomah and Clayton the other day.
“Ayala is another who I looked at myself but the asking price was £1million.
“Fair play to the chairman up there he has once again backed his manager to get them challenging.
“They have a good blend.
“The Spanish boy, Kike, they bought up front is a very good player.
“They spent £3million on him but I think it is money well spent.
“When you have that type of player, you have to play a certain kind of way.
“The problem is when you are spending that kind of money you are expected to go to Leeds and come to Bolton and get results but the Championship doesn’t always work out that way.”
i don't mind him lowering expectations and putting things into perspective for 1 or 2 over-optimistic fans who were brought up in PL era and still can't get over it, but do we really have to face this tripe in every article.
a world of difference to what Holloway is putting out. tbf, i think IH is probably over-doing it the other way. DF just throws in that line at the end giving a bit of belief after all THAT LOT... before it draining away at belief. big wow..so they've signed someone from the mighty peterboro and even one from Huddersfield. yes, and we've got some who were at PL clubs last season..Moxey, Mason , Spearing has come from a top 6 club, Beckford has played at PL level, as has Wheater, as has Ream for a short stint. has Tomlin, has clayton has Kike ??. no !. i might have to revise my prediction to a 2-1 loss. he's making enough excuses for himself and the players pre-match.
