MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (a)

[Snowflake Royal]

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

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.

oxf*rd him, maybe if he made an effort to challenge anyone/win the ball, except for the yellow, or when in our box, he'd have more joy.

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.

Forgot Kyerewaa and Fraser were even playing

[URZZZZ]

Done OK to restrict a decent side to zero shots on target so far

Disappointing offensively of course but let’s not forget this is still a side who have been playing together for no more than two weeks. Difficult to build patterns of play, relationships etc at this stage without a pre season

Would like to see more from Dorsett who is far too stand off ish and any form of composure from Wing + Savage wouldn’t go amiss but not playing as bad as being made out IMO - something in this for us

[Snowflake Royal]

Bugger me, passing accuracy 56%.

That's not fair on the boys. I reckon half the passes recorded as fails are actually hoofs to no one. It's not innacurate if you never intended it to go to a Reading player.

[WestYorksRoyal]

Part of me thinks it would be typical for us to nick this 1-0 now.

It’s the system and tactics that are the issue. Pressing badly and leaving holes all over the place.

They’ve had a few preseason and 4 other games

[traff]

I see no plan, no structure, no passion, no hope!

I want to believe in Noel but there are so many issues I don't think he knows where to start. Next signing needs to be off the pitch as the management team looks as naïve and clueless as the team on the pitch.

You're reminding me of Lucas Joao.

At least Joao knew where the goal was though.

[Snowflake Royal]

It's a bit like school children.

We've got the ball! Must sprint forward/make this pass create a goal...

What do you mean I'm deep in my half with 1 player forward marked by three defenders?

[Jackson Corner]

Why did we not buy Chem Campbell? He would have been better than any of that crap. The mighty Stevenage could offer more than us?

MOM's not even wrestling the defender to try to turn them.

[Snowflake Royal]

Well, we can't play much worse this half.

[Snowflake Royal]

You know what. Stick Savage upfront. No defender is getting an easy game from him.

[Linden Jones' Tash]

Those attacking stats dont need AI to tell you its poor.....

[Orion1871]

Well, we can't play much worse this half.

Now now. Let's not be hasty.

[Ascotexgunner]

.

I wondered what the NH stood for on Noels shirt....the last bit might confirm it if this continues.

[Hound]

Williams has been decent. Burns as well. Some hope there

[Orion1871]

Game over.
