Bolton post match thoughts?

[DonPageFanClub]

Just listened to the interview - he just doesn’t see it.

We didn’t deserve anything from the game - we hardly had a touch in the first half and created zero. Excuse after excuse.

As soon as TS puts the bottle down, he will be on the phone from HMS Old Soak to pull the trigger. Then we will have six weeks of the usual rubbish before we end up with Richard Wood until the end of the season. Disaster

If you look at the stats . We had the 3rd most shots of any away side in the league today. So to say we didn't create anything isn't true . Powell Martha and Nombe. All had good chances to score.. I think James hit the bar or it looked like it from where I was sat..and Hugill and Nombe both had half chances with headers late on ..we were worth a point in my opinion today .. did you honestly see that much of a gulf between us and Bolton, because I certainly didn't, there 3rd and were 4th bottom , there isn't that much between any side in this league.

The difference is our keeper made three top quality saves, they coasted in the second half and turned up the pressure when they had to because they had the ability to. Also Douglas cleared off the line and blocked a certain goal, Powell blocked two certain goals as well. We improved in the second half but the Holmes’s/Douglas decision was horrendous and we called it a the time. If Douglas was injured the club captain was on the bench and he has had a decent season, watching Holmes’s at Salford and last week nobody would put him on unless we have to play him. We are not a team, we have a few decent talented players that are carrying the rest, a coaching staff that prefer big boot to football, owners that have lost interest (as have a lot of fans), a under performing recruitment team and a training ground that is so unfit for purpose that multiple managers and ex-players have commented on and clearly is linked to the injury issues. This is a club in crisis and too many people involved are not up to it or not bothered.

Nah, this training ground line is just an excuse for bad players. Maradona played on a tip of a pitch, Pele played barefoot, Best played on a mudbath.
Good players can play on anything. End of

If it makes no difference for good players why do clubs spend so much on the training facilities?

....spend it or pay tax???

John Robertson played 250 CONSECUTIVE matches on slag heap pitches.
In contrast we now have handbag carrying prima donnas demanding this that and t'other and getting injured if someone sneezes at them.
I'd pick Robbo in front of any of them.
Wrong am I?

Thought today we were worth a point. First half we were poor. 2nd half we were the better side.

Just for yak. Not sure why Douglas came off for Holmes, only hamshaw knows why he did that.but hamshaw biggest crime today and for a number of games was putting Martha in the games. Ok we are limited on options. But FFS hammy. He's a passenger

Agree about Martha.
We had a better option on bench than Holmes if he had to take Douglas off.
How many of MH signings have worked?

Poor recruitment generally.

Poor recruitment generally.

And that poor recruitment started with Hamshaw himself

The decision for TS is about the January window, a good window could keep us up, but what is a good window for us? Do you trust Scott and Hamshaw with another window?
1, . MH indicated that Martha was wanted, so sell if we can make a bit on him
2. Keep Nombe with agreement to invoke extension but allow him to be sold in the summer
3. Send back sheriff, Holmes’s and teeter
4. Get rid of Kelly, J holmes
5. Compromise agreement with Hugill if possible, but at least try
