*~*~* Bolton v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[zebediah]

Massive 45 minutes coming up, a promotion team will react and get something from this game.
A team that feels sorry for itself will be playing in this league again next season.

 

[Ch1982]

Not often I say this but with our structure now should be easy to bin this clown. Absolutely disgraceful he can’t get a tune out of what is a very good set of players.

 

[Plank]

Looking forward to Brent’s latest excuse later on

“Our USP was left back in Sunderland today *massive smile*”

The fire just wasn’t in the bellies today

 

[doodlebugs]

He’s not wrong. Anyone with an ounce of sense can see we are not good enough for promotion. The very best we can hope for with Whiskers is a semi final defeat over two legs

,haway the whiskers

 

[Chewit]

Give it a rest. The club could do without a minority of “supporters” who can’t wait for us to lose, to suit their agenda.

Your a brave man. If this thread was reflective of our fan base .. you can only conclude we have a fan base which is emotionally unstable, what bunch of fannies.
Cutting out all the abuse and intemperate comments this game has one central issue. Why did he move from a back 5 to 4. We play better with 5, it suits the players with 5. Someone has to ask the question cos Iam dumbfounded

 

[Gloucester]

Prichard and one of the new wingers now please

 

[havanaman]

They have to dig deep and get a least a point from somewhere.

A point’s not enough against teams of this quality, but if we get one no doubt LJ will talk about our fighting qualities and team spirit, with Wigan and Rotherham sniggering.

I don't think it's arrogance. I think he's just so bad tactically he doesn't see it until the ship has sailed.

Hes thought, "it's Bolton, they're shite"...he is clueless man. Shud never have got an interview, never mind a job.
That's Safc for you.

 

[Scorer]

Big half of football ahead regardless of result really. I like Johnson but there have been a few capitulations and there’s a bit too much tinkering with shape for my liking. We have the attacking ability to still get something though if we start 2nd half well.

 

[everstar]

its ending 2-3 or 5-0. Only two options.

 

[i am will]

Too late now. I'd just replace Doyle with Flanagan. Batth is doing OK but both goals have come from the left centre half area.

Not for me if we keep 4 at the back it could end up another Pompey/Rotherham

 

[Wayne The Punk]

the worrying thing for me would be no changes at half time

 

[houst69]

No way are we getting back in this

 

[safcpauluk]

Dajaku, embo,neil can't compete when it's full on pressure. Stewart is all over the place , he needs to play on the shoulder and we need to give him some service.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Are we also holding him accountable for the 3 1/2 years before he got here like?

In the 3.5 years before he got here, we never got beaten the way we do under Johnson.

 

[Gaz]

Get the next goal and we will win this.

We haven’t looked like scoring, and look like conceding every time they come forward

 

[deleted user 785]

It’s alright lads Gooch has put some crosses in

Far more deserving players of stick today but let's just blame Gooch eh?

 

[abbs]

That was so bad iam now ironing the bairns school shirts

 

[hardlife]

This is the thing with Johnson, could go on a run to the end of the season, the playoffs start then the f***ing wheels fall off again......needs to FO.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Players out already, hopefully LJ apologised for the back four before giving some of them a roasting
