Bolton 0-3 Fulham

Morning losers, today is the day when Bolton get their just desserts. Come on Fulham!!!!!!!!!!

Bolton Team: Bogdan, Ricketts, Wheater, Ream, Alonso, Mark Davies, Reo-Coker, Pratley, Miyaichi, Ngog, Petrov.

Subs: Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Eagles, Knight, Kevin Davies, Klasnic, Sordell.

Not surprised at the team at all, it fits best with our 4-5-1 tactics. It's time for Ngog to grab a goal today though.

1-0 Fulham.

1-0 Fulham - soft goal imo.

Free kick - Bogdan set up fot Riis pile driver and instead Dempsy just chipped it in the other side of the goal.

2-0 Fulham.

HT 0-2 to Fulham.

Summary

Bolton - play with wingers putting in plenty crosses but no one to put them away!

What's the point in playing with wingers then?

Alonso beaten time and time again - Duff walks inside of him and Dempsey scores - but offside.

Duff tricks him way too easily to go outside and sets up the second goal.

Need a left back that can defend - Alonso simply can't.

Better to have Ricketts and Steinsson on the left - than to have Alonso floundering time after time.

You can't score from every cross I'm afraid.

Rubbish first half, and another example of Coyle being a bit dim. If you're going to pepper the opposition with crosses you need a target man, and men in the box. We had neither.

We had men in the box, unfortunately the cross didn't land perfectly on their head.

Do you think we've been dangerous from any of them so far? I don't.

I'm not knocking Ngog but for a big bloke he's not really a threat from crosses. If the plan is to put in crosses - then why are we playing him?

Davies was the best for this tactic but he's a spent force now.

Klasnic can put the knock downs away but he isn't suited for the lone attacker up front role.

The 4-5-1 system is really meant for the forward to hold the ball up with the midfield supporting - Coyle doesn't play it that way.

Davies and Eagles coming on but unless Kev is back to his very best I can't see anything for us.

Going 4-4-2 with Davies and Ngog - Coyle is fucking useless.

I don't think we've been dangerous in any facet of the game.

We don't have a shearer type who's lethal from crosses but i don't think it's good practice ban crosses just because you don't have an archetypal target man.

the alternative is what? Passing through the middle? We can't do that either. At least the crossing tactic is percentage football, it might cause some concern.

the main problem has been giving the ball away, simple as that.

3-0. This has really spoilt my night.

Utter shite,

With Blackburn & Wigan both losing this was definitely a big chance missed. The games remaining don't look so easy now.
