Norwich Match Thread

[campo21]

Thought we started well but without creating any real chances, then they scored it knocked us back and Norwich took over.

Second Half ... Norwich again had the better chances, Lonergan and some bad finishing kept us in the game till they made it 2-0.

We kept going and Clayton missed our best chance so far of the game ... then Chungy scored, still lost tho.

Positives ... Chungy, Lonergan and Pratley

Negatives ... we lost, didn't create any real goal threats apart from the two ... sad to say Tim Ream for me tonight had a stinker

Beckford and Mills had a stinker aswell but nowts new with Beckford he always has a stinker!

Have to agree chip and blood Mills and Ream had poor games. Would have to watch it again but I got the feeling that they were being pulled out of position to cover for Threlkeld who I thought looked nervous and was out of position a lot

[campo21]

Threlkeld is not ready for 1st team football yet JJ he was out of his depth tonight!

Watched it in the pub good to see nearly everyone in the pub was still a Bolton fan,despite the Freedman years, thought Mills was sh**e, but after suffering 2 years of Douggie it wasn't that bad, he has to be the worst manager in history

[gallopingchip]

You'd have to say Nigel Pearson knew what he was doing dumping Mills and Beckford on us. As for Threlkeld unless we play him for half a dozen games or more we aren't going to know if A. will he improve and B. Is he good enough.

[lord_hooray]

Yes they are both dreadful, they are earning a fortune as well, Beckford needs at least 8 chances to get a shot on target, he needs to be binned sharpish

[Whatsmore]

It's not up front campo it's that they are creating chances. We aren't.

Beckford's not had a single decent ball

Beckford could of had a decent ball off Pratley but he was on the wrong side of the defender the lazy git i never want to see him in a bolton shirt again![/quote]Spot on there campo.Beckford for me is worse than that donkey we had in early 80's moores I think he was called.Beckford for me is lazy,arogant,sulky,and sh1t.He makes sordell look like shearer used to be. :/ :/ :/ :/

This is going to prove a monumental job for Neil Lennon and his staff.

If I did a job as bad as Freedman has done at Bolton I would be thoroughly ashamed of myself.

Lennon will be aware by now of the desperate state the squad is in, the bad habits they have formed will take time to eradicate. I like the manner in which he answered the media last night, not a happy bunny , but he wears his heart on his sleeve and says what he thinks.

If he keeps us up he will have performed miracles in my opinion.

[JC White]

Totally agree Eric. He has to work with this squad until Jan at least. His return of six points from four games is not bad, if you think of it as drawing the three away games and winning the home game. We have to start keeping clean sheets though (easily said than done) I believe he'll keep us up

[lord_hooray]

Freedman should have been sacked at least a year ago after our worst start for 107 years, (that's last season not this). He really was diabolical, everything about his management was tragic, it was so boring to watch and when he talked about his football philosophy I really wanted to harm the twisted *******, how he had the nerve to say we deserved something out of some games when we had been massacred I will never know, what a dreadful 2 years it was.
