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

[Richie K]

Has been play offs at the very best for a while now unfortunately.

 

[forever changes]

We are an experiment in football philosophy to Johnson not a club who must get promotion from L1

 

[Kenna]

We’re making them look like Man City

 

[Daffy]

Imagine taking 6000 away to watch that shower of shite
Fuck off Johnson
Pathetic

 

[Safc88]

Same

Absolutely fed up

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Its hard to play worse than the first half, but trust us to manage it

 

[Cypher]

Get the Ewok out man

I don't like this comparison. Not only were they universally liked they also could organise a defence: they fucked off the combined might of the Empire from Endor with little fuss.

 

[Rizla]

The next 30 minutes will tell us a lot about the rest of the season. Do we have any kind of mentality to put a fight up and show some face?

 

[Mowgli]

I’m working on the assumption that points will be allocated in the remaining games based on the way we play in them, rather than results in the past.

How many teams concede more than half of the league and finish top 2? Enlighten me.

 

[Jonnyb2]

This is vintage filth.

 

[Yuri]

Sack Lee Johnson

 

[Deleted member 41188]

Our away form is rank.

Absolutely pathetic.

 

[TravellingMackem]

I know Johnson isn't the best manager but the 1st 2 goal have been down to players mistakes. Ignoring Doyle, the 1st I can be forgiving to Hoffman as the ball comes from a long way and the 1st bounce, about 12 yards from the box, takes it another 8 or so yards but the 2nd bounce it seems to slow up so didn't go as close to Hoffman.

However the 2nd goal is down to laziness from Winchester. He's already running back after Afolayan plays the ball and already has 2 yards on him. Yet he must have been jogging back and let Afolayan get ahead when the 2 come back into view and is 2 yards behind. It's only at the last second Winchester puts another spurt in but why not put the spurt in before that? It's laziness and playing the chance game as he could have easily kept in front of Afolayan who wasn't even running at full sprint either.

:edit: 3-0 now of course

Defence doesn’t matter really when we haven’t even had a shot yet! Setup is incompetent

 

[Sweeper]

Johnson.

If he’d got caught under the ball, or had not bothered to mark the centre forward, I’d definitely have blamed him.

 

[Veteran2]

I'm just sick of us signing players who are not ready to play

Me too.

 

[woodlebert]

i just don't get it

he ends up going back to the wingback system anyway so just f***ing stick with what works instead of tinkering for the sake of it

It’s mad we don’t start with 3 at the back

 

[The Little General]

Wigan and Rotherham must be pissing themselves at us. I know there's still a lot of points to play for but with LJ in charge, the playoffs are the best we can hope for.

 

[Binxy]

Just go.

 

[Sunderland06]

Predictable and boring.

 

[praha12]

What can you say.....?
