Talking about Saturday's shambles in today's BN Douglas, in amongst his usual drivel, came out with this one : "We haven't got a team that lies down.... in the last 10 minutes we had three or four players going in for 50-50 tackles and refusing to give up".
Three or four? So the rest of them presumably had given up. But Douglas is quite happy that three or four hadn't. Its quite an insight into the bloke's mindset and helps to explain the lack of any kind of determination and winning mentality we have to endure.
He also says "We are going to win a game of football, its just when". The answer to that is when he's gone. |

He's at it again
This is what he said at the start of the season
ANDY Lonergan has been told he will start the season as first choice for Wanderers.
With speculation growing over the future of Adam Bogdan, Dougie Freedman has confirmed the Hungarian keeper will not be fit to start the Championship opener against Watford in eight days’ time.
The Whites boss agreed that Lonergan was in “inspired” form after the pre-season victory over Port Vale on Wednesday night and has now challenged the former Leeds United man to keep hold of the gloves.
“Andy has stepped right up to the plate and he will start the season for us,” Freedman confirmed to The Bolton News.
Mind you it wasn't a difficult decision seeing as Bogdan was injured, who else was he going to play?? and his stint as No 1 lasted all of 1 match even though he had been in "inspired" form in pre-season
Now he is saying
"We can go and loan a goalkeeper but I think the form that Andy Lonergan showed on Saturday, and in pre-season, means he deserves an opportunity.
“I believe in him and he is very capable."
If he believes in him and he is very capable, why was he immediately dropped when Bogdan became fit again? and once again only gets his chance following an injury?

Why was Czech dropped at Chelsea for courtouis? He's an awesome keeper who's been consistently superb year after year most games. Younger up and coming keeper starts to flourish, he's the future, you have to play him. Bogdans doing well

I am not saying that Bogdan isn't/wasn't doing well, I am commenting on the stupidity/inconsistency of comments that come out of Freedman's mouth.
As it was Bogdan didn't kick a ball in pre-season, and not until the Cup game against Bury did he get a game, but even though in Freedman's own words Lonergan was outstanding in pre-season, no doubt because we lost 3-0 to Watford it was all Lonergan's fault and gets dropped out of the team, but now Bogdan's injured we have to call on him again.
It doesn't breed belief in anything your manager says to you and hardly breeds confidence.
and if you stopped trying to play both sides against the middle you might have realised that was what I was saying

Both sides against the middle ? Pretty simple really ? Bogdan was carrying a minor injury, Lonergan had a great pre season, and was praised for it. Bogdan is our no.1? End of? Bogdan gets injured so shock horror, dougie recalls the reserve keeper !!?? What a ridiculous decision he should have put Ream between the sticks !!
I'm not playing anything but it's not rocket science is it?
Just another poor excuse to get another dig in eh?
