Bolton Wanderers Post Match Thoughts

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

I actually come out of the ground when most of fans have gone and still managed to end up standing in car park, that is the worst I’ve seen in HOME fans trying to leave the ground.
Think it’s a case of club and stewards not talking/ listening to each other

Thats another reason why I stayed at home yesterday, just don't feel safe in ground any more. I assume there was no enforcement of the mask rule?

Gru to answer some of your questions yes hopefully some of your posts are being deleted
We know about your droning on about replacing Viktor with Vickers ( can’t be arsed to repeat rest of team everyone has seen it enough)
Your obsession with Wood knows no bounds “it’ll cost us sooner or later” well it must be later we’ve lost ONE game in what 22 with him playing there so I say bring it on
As far as not knocking Wood do us a favour you’ve been knocking him for an eternity or it certainly feels like it!

The fact that some think we should be able to steamroller a team like Bolton, shows how far we've come.

I'm no tactician, so can someone explain the logic of bringing everyone back for corners/set pieces? It leaves us no way to get out and doesn't help with numbers because it just frees the opposition up to bring a extra man forward. Bolton were leaving a man up yesterday, which ties up two of ours.

Lasterman, I've said it time and again and ironically yesterday to someone, where was the last time you saw Warne leave a man up front while we defend a set piece/corner?

By doing so any other team wouldn't leave a one on one they would have to bring two players back so, it lessens their threat of attack especially at corners. There was a perfect example of this yesterday, where Johansson collected a corner and looked up to throw it out to one of ours but there was no one there so he had to hold the ball and wait for them to push up field.

Come on Warne, leave Rathbone up front. Apart from Chio he's probably the second fastest at the club from a standing start. By all means leave the big men back and that includes Smudge but, be bold be brave and leave us an outlet at least.

Depends on whether or not you employ man to man or zonal systems.

Man to man you can leave a player upfield but with zonal you need all back to cover all of the spaces.

I asked breckin about this at the start of the season. He said he's like me, old school and would leave one up but he recon's the statisticians say less goals are conceded with all the 10 players back. Who are we to argue about stats.

I think it was Wigan a few seasons ago leaving 2 up. Both were very quick and stood near the touchline. I don't recall them being effective as a outlet though it did leave more room for there keeper to catch more balls into the box. Saying that I think it was 1.3 so prob was effective

Richard Wood,let's put this to bed for once and for all for one poster in particular.
He is a Millers legend plain and simple, an example of everything that is right with modern football .
On the pitch he is playing the best football of his long career, a leader of men and an inspiration to our younger players, is he good enough for the championship? Probably not,but I'm sure he will be around for some time, inspiring and coaching future Millers defenders.
I'm sure most fans will agree with me.

Meanest defence and best goal difference in the league.

Let’s do what Bolton do and leave a player up when defending corners. That sounds like a plan. It ‘s patently working for them.

Not.

Could do for us though. You'll never know until you try it as they say.
