Ricketts said:
“Obviously Andy Lonergan has come in and played really well, but it’s the whole team – the forwards and midfield prevent the waves of attack.
“We know as players we are giving our all to defend that goal – we don’t want that ball going in the back of our net.”
Ricketts did reserve special praise for keeper Lonergan, however, who came in to replace the injured Adam Bogdan and has yet to concede a goal.
As The Bolton News revealed yesterday, Hungary international Bogdan hopes to be back in action against Ipswich, leaving Freedman with a big decision to make in goal.
And Ricketts has been impressed with the ex-Leeds United man.
“Lonners has huge experience, he’s played for years at this level,” he said. “He’s just slotted in. He’s not played all season but he’s come in and been fantastic.
“We’ve got a No2 keeper who I wouldn’t like to say how many first teams he’d get into in this league.”
*********
Should the manager go with Lonergan who has kept two clean sheets in faultless performances or revert to Boggers who is returning from injury.
We know Dougie is not a fan of playing people who are not 100% fit so why take the risk with Boggers? Lonergan has done well and not spilled anything to concede goals either.
