If Bolton score before HT, 1-0 flatters us, let alone 0-0.

Why the actual living oxf*rd is Savage pressing MOM's man there, leaving MOM with his thumb up his arse and a hole behind.

Absolutely dire, we look every bit a relegation side tonight.

What an utterly attrocious half of football, if Bolton could shoot the game would already be over.

Think the game plan is just to try not to concede and hope that’s enough. Certainly not geared to create anything whatsoever.

The only good thing about this mess is that Bolton haven’t troubled Pereira yet.

He’s been hopeless in every game this season.

Savage has been poor so far this season, compared with how good he was looking last year. On a yellow tonight, chasing shadows. Hook him for Elliott?

I know it won't happen.

0/10, utter dogsh!te. Not sure what the tactic. is other than to press badly, leave open spaces and look embarrassingly bad. Noel probably telling them to keep it up, we’ve just shaded it.

I'd love to know what Elliott has done / hasn't done because Fraser is not good enough.
Hunt has to take Fraser off please at HT, replace with Elliott, move him into the hole, Wing and Savage in quarter back positions

Pereira - untroubled bar the post where he was beaten
Abrefa - defended well, but not enough help.
Dorsett - defended well, wasteful going forward
Burns - ok
Williams - good
Wing - not involved enough
Savage - everywhere, but not working with the rest of the team, and wasteful
Fraser - not involved enough
Doyle - fine, but wasted out wide
Kyerewaa - trying but too raw
MOM - barely trying

Desperately need someone whollat least make the defenders life awkward and put themselves about upfront. MOM is just so easy to play against.

Also need Doyle/Elliott connecting midfield and attack, with someone else LW if Doyle.

oxf*rd it, put Doyle upfront, Elliott for Fraser and Camara for MOM.

Agreed. Although it's not Fraser's fault that the manager is playing him out of position.

that's true. I also feel sorry for Mark O'Mahony, probably wishes he wasn't always getting long pointless balls up top.

I know we're not servicing MOM well, but agree he's barely trying. You want a bastard of a CF who gives the opposition no freebies, even on a hopeless lost cause of a long ball. But they're getting uncontrollably headers every time and can simply lay it off to their midfielders to control the game.

Wow, awful performance no idea how we're not losing.

Headless chickens, u11 chasing shadows, no control. utterly inept performance way off it.

At least we have a club
