Official Match Thread Bolton Wanderers v Southend United

[rhrussell]

We need MM out of this club and employ an experienced manager, and Ron your press
comment this week just shows what you think of the fans, YOU will come out of this club smelling of roses and a shed full of money, We the fans will be in the s....t

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Sadly I think it is now too late to save our league status.

It certainly will be if we don't pick up a hatful of points between now and the end of December.

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

Anyone still think Kelman and Humphrys were ****? Thought not.

 

[Shrimper44]

Why I'd Goodship still on the pitch? Goodship and egbri absolutely rubbish.
I'm 74 years old and I think I could pass the ball.quicker and better than either of them!

Even with a dodgy knee ?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

I swear they are watering down the vodka these days... going down far to easily

Quantity tells in the end Austin

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Replace Egbri, Goodship and Hobson with a bit of quality, and we might stand a chance.

Some will say Hobson is improving, but he studiously passes; he can't run, and his touch is shovel-heavy.

Those three are unlikely to win you anything.
Sterling, R Taylor and Acquah are no cop either.

But the key word is 'quality'. White, Elvis on his day; Macca's nous, and maybe Demi? After that, we are non-league standard.

I'm a big ron out man but this manager is terrible, his tactics are dreadful. He hasn't a clue, we had some very senior players out there today which everyone has been crying out for, yet we were second best all over the pitch. We didn't have many younsters playing today and we were still **** poor.

 

[GBJ]

He won't score goals in senior football at the moment, not in this team. We need a big strong experienced proven goal scorer. That's the only thing that will save our season

Oh I agree we need reinforcements. I’m just going on the basis that we won’t clear this embargo anytime soon.

I also agree that this situation isn’t necessarily the best environment for Rush to be dropped into.

However, we can say with absolute certainty that the current attack isn’t working for whatever reason, so something needs to change.

 

[Gridelet's contact lens]

We have to watch out we don;t drop straight through the Conference Prem. MM needs to be relieved of his duties.

Sadly, I wish it were about tactics.
It's about players - and this lot are no good no matter the tactics or formation - it really is that simple.

 

[Spenser]

I’ve supported this club through thick and thin, but I’ve gone past the stage of caring anymore as the club has just become soulless. It no longer feels like the club I’ve always supported anymore... and this must be the same for others.

Yes.
Routine 3-0
Goal difference - 23
Next worst in Division is - 11 then - 8

We were terrible in a higher division last season and we are even more awful now.

To think one of our most illustrious posters was telling us to be proper fans and look forward to watching young players who care about the club play in League 2!

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Sorry ron but MM simply isn't good enough. Tactics are hopeless.

 

[blueblueblue]

Sorry ron but MM simply isn't good enough. Tactics are hopeless.

Agreed he's dog ****. I thought Bond was bad but this guy takes the ****.

 

[gatecrasher]

Walsall firmly glossed over just how cack MM is, wish we never won it so he'd be gone by now. Ron has literally stuck two fingers up to the fans, he knows we are down and he doesn't care as it saves him money, its all about the stadium he doesnt care what state the team that plays in it is

 

[delr]

At least next weeks game will be free

yep - 'free' points for Stevenage

 

[danburyshrimper]

OXLEY 7 - on a hiding to nothing
ELVIS 8 - Excellent yet again from Elvis , gave everything, superb player
WHITE 7 - Commanding, composed, controlled, steady
HOBSON 7 - Didn't much wrong , great distribution
KYPRIANOU 7 - Excellent match again , great balance + deserves more games
EGBRI 2 - Cant knock his effort but again was awful. Not good enough.
DEMETRIOU 5 - Buzzed about nicely
OLAYINKA 5 - played out of position again and struggled. What a player he could be!
McCORMACK 6 - strong, imposing, missed him when he went off
DIENG 7 - Won plenty of headers , gave us another option attackingly , but no support
GOODSHIP 3 - No confidence , no bottle, has pretty much given up.

SUBS:
STERLING 5 - is a striker. we need a striker , yet played left midfield + is no good there
ACQUAH 5 - won a couple of headers
R.TAYLOR 6 - Been banging on about him up front + he caused plenty of problems with his aggression , size , mobility + exactly what we should have had up front all season in the circumstances. Needs more chances up front!


No shock that we lost heavily again … we play every game effectively with 9 men - Goodship & Egbri have no quality to be playing at this level. Its taken almost half the season for Molesley + his coaches to start coming round to exactly what we have all been saying since week 1. When we have a physical presence up front , get the ball forward quicker , don't ponce about at the back + get some confidence , we are a half decent team.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Sadly I think it is now too late to save our league status.

Yep all but relegated at the end of November and the season didn't even start on time.

We now need 1.25 points per game to even have a chance of staying up. That's not far off play-off form, from now until the end of the season!

 

[E for B and Billy Best]

I see the project and process are coming on a bundle. Still by next week our glorious leader will release a press statement blaming everybody but himself and spouting a load of ol' nonsense that sums up to the square root of **** all.

They say the table doesn't lie and the next 4 games against teams near the bottom will tell the truth about how good (bad) we are.
Time to find out if there genuinely are two teams worse than us.....
