Crewe vs Bolton

1-1 at the moment if anyone is interested. Petrov equalised from the spot for us.

A small ray of light in that Knight got injured early on.

So that's all our centre backs injured now. Great.

Nah Ream and Mills + Ricketts if need be.

Ream and Mills are injured aren't they?

Are they? If they are i must have missed that! Apologies.

That's what I read elsewhere.

Looking like 4 pre-season games against weaker opponents, 0 wins, 0 clean sheets. Pretty ominous.

If Coyle was given the push tonight we could still salvage this disastrous season.

Don't forget. The BN says he is ready to spend again.

I must admit I know I said pre season doesn't matter but a few more goals wouldn't have gone a miss during our friendlies so far.

Davies on his own up front with not another recognised striker to be seen.....oh apart from Eaves.

What was Coyle meant to do? Ngog is injured and Sordell is at the Olympics.

Recall Sordell?

I'm reading twitter and apparently Pratley played up front in the second half over Eaves.

We had enough subs.

I was just saying it's worrying the amount of strikers we actually have on the books at the moment.

When Newcastle won the Championship they lost 6-1 to Leyton Orient in a pre-season friendly, we still have a chance.

It is possible that our dear manager has been told (on the side) that a very good loan deal is all but complete. I certainly hope so for I cannot understand why this crucial position has been ignored.

I suspect Coyle thinks Ngog will bang 30 goals in by Christmas.

Someone is taking the piss here ... and the prime suspect is Owen Coyle (as usual).
