My Bolton prediction

[Brin]

Well the way we didn’t put Weds to the sword when we had the chance, the poor first half showing against Reading and the mistakes made against West Brom then I can only see us losing this one.

The set up with one up front is now so boring it’s unbelievable. Warne is intent on inviting opposition to score first and expecting the team to play catch-up.

All the talk of we have only lost twice in the last 12 games is rubbish. We need wins not draws!

Yes this league is damn hard but we knew that before the season started. We must be the only team in this league that plays one up front and it’s starting to show.

Unless we bring in new players come January then I can only see us scrapping to stay up, which will be a shame after all the effort put in to get promotion in the first place.

As for not using Proctor in a ‘two up front’ one can only guess.

Nouha Dicko on loan from Hull.
Can't get a game there but a relegation rival so they might not want to.
SE said he was a nice lad too

I’m not sure it’s got anything to do with the formation I think it’s how deep we sit at times.
Yesterday Vyner played a long ball up front to empty space.
All our players were deep in our own half the ball came straight back and they got a corner.
This happened over and over again us giving them the ball by just hoofing it.
Second half was better but the damage was already done.

Halfway through the season we’ve done really well and we are out of the bottom 3.
I think Warne has done a very good job overall and we’re lucky to have him and the fans leaving early yesterday was poor imo however it’s everyones choice.

Having said that we’re gonna have to start playing on the front foot more like we did against Derby at home.
If we don’t we will pick up less points than we’re capable of imo.
See you all at Bolton Utm

Just what we need, but I can't see Hull loaning him to us, unfortunately

Why all the mention of Nouha Dicko, are we saying Smith is no good? Don't forget we only play one up front.

Play Dicko (or similar, as we're very unlikely to sign him) alongside or behind Smith. Thought that Smithy was probably our best player yesterday - he missed some chances, but so did the rest

That’s the worrying thing Brin.

I’m not going with confidence but if we don’t put a shift in I think fans will start getting on certain people’s backs , some of which don’t deserve

That’s whats getting me mad, why can’t the management see what the problem is when some of us ‘wise’ fans can

Dicko is a prime goal poacher. He knows exactly where to be in the box and where the ball is going to be played.
He's also very quick which is something we lack. Neither Smudger or Proctor are quick so he'll bring another dimension to our game.
