Trotters (A)
Views: 757
Just done my research into the Trotters... think we need to be wary of the big man up front.

If we could have a striker who was half decent we would be ok.
I’m not asking for much. Just someone a bit better than we have now.

Thought Bolton look like the ones who need better strikers. If ours got into the positions they did we'd have scored them. Our problem is we never get an opening like they had.
Shame Phillips couldn't keep his shot down at the end, that'd been a nice ending to the season. But overall a reasonable performance after a shaky start.
14th in the league is a good finish. Higher than I was expecting at the start of the season.

I’ve been urging Phillips to shoot for some time as I think he’s got a powerful strike on him, but the last three games, when he has put in a powerful strike, all three have gone over the top.

With more attacking ambition and a more open style, would we have won more or lost more though?
The eternal question.

Based on the way we were so exposed today and should have been 3-0 down after 20 mins, we would have finished with fewer points.

Looked like we were struggling to adjust to the shape and individual responsibilities. The game should have been out of sight after 15 mins. One of their missed chances was unbelievable. However, we really grew into the game. Was much more enjoyable than our average showing this year.
Just wish Roberts wasn't so scared to shot!

The game Harvey White had summed up succinctly by the highlight of them twice passing straight at him in their own half and him promptly returning the ball both times.
For their goal Phillips looks at his man, sees where he is, then decides five seconds later the bloke must somehow be somewhere else.
The key thing this season is when we do shit stuff it's usually compensated for by something else elsewhere. We got a point in each of the last two games after a first 45 where we looked completely gone.

Will he make an impact today after being seriously disappointing in his previous appearances for us? Looks a twat with the backs cut out of his sock though.

I think he's better than the other three number 9's we have, albeit two are now on loan in League Two

Re: Appéré

Very much like the other strikers we have he's a NL or L2 no.9 who might hit a purple patch and get double figures at our level once in five seasons.

I do that with my socks at home. Makes me run much faster.
Tried it with my swimming trunks to see if it improved my lap times. Got thrown out of the pool.

Shaky start from Boro

Getting a few chances now though.
Problem is, whenever Bolton lose possession to us, we almost instantly hand it back to them.

Gk error from TAH, ball squirming underneath him when it should have been a routine stop.
That'll do his confidence a load of good...
Jake Young with a composed volley from 8 yards on 76 minutes.

See when Young gets the ball in front of goal he can be effective. When he is out on the left running at players, not so much as shown by his other opportunity today.

Agree 100%, play him as a central striker regularly, or bin him off.
I'd bin him off. But I'm happy to be proved wrong.

I didn't notice anything.
And suspect him being subbed off was because he was on a booking so no point risking Drysdale giving him a second booking and him therefore missing the opening game next season.

Think I read somewhere he joined us us aged 8 , but of the ones I have seen more of in recent times Hicks and Doherty look promising but have said that about a few in past .
