Bolton 1-4 Spurs

Is that the new Rovers chant?

The best Bolton players, at teh Reebok, last night, for me, were Holden (sky sports pundit) and Muamba. They both showed more life at the "Bok then the rest of the rabble that we call Bolton Wanderers. Felt sorry for Bogdan as he was the only line of defence as our defenders seemed to be on a one-way trip to Pluto last night. Don't even get me started on N'Gog or even tired-old SKD.



One person to blame for last nights massive failure - Owen Coyle. Not knowing the opposition (although we have played them 3 other times this season - ok 2.5 times), not knowing the capabilities and positions of our players, not knowing what formation to go for, and not having a Plan A never mind a Plan B.



If it is true that Coyle's contract runs out during the summer, then good riddance. That will mean all teh deadwood will go at the same time. New League, New Manager, New Team and New objectives. Infact next season is beginning to appeal already! More games (and that means more value for the season ticket) in a more competitive league. Godd times are coming.

N'ah, they have had that for almost 3 seasons now.

As soon as I saw the team I knew we were doomed. Coyle is a fucking clueless fanny, desperate to stick with the team that got a point at Sunderland at all costs, regardless that Spurs have one of the best midfields in the country.

It had to be five in midfield, but no, so Mark Davies again looks like a complete stump and we are over run.

But, once again, as soon as we went behind our heads went down and we let in two more. This is Bolton under Coyle, ther players have no pride, why should they care when they are paid so well for being very average players? I've said for two years now we need a captain, but Coyle always ignores the obvious.

We are down now, definitely. The team has no guts, no fight. We will lose 2-0 to WBA and that will be that.

Fuck off Coyle and take your shitty team with you.

It was poor last night for the last 30 mins or so, of that there is little doubt. But a victory against WBA, even if QPR beat Stoke, will still make us favourites.

I think Coyle has no balls. There, I said it. Boyata was having one of his better games where he looked comfortable on the ball and looked for a pass when possible, before we capitulated. Reo-Coker has been easily one of our best(better?) players this season but it was his mistake that led to the opener for Spurs. Two quick-fire goals saw us being 3-1 down and I didn't notice a change in formation or instructions. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Sounds familiar, Mr. Coyle? How would we have been worse off yesterday by giving Sordell a run? As optimistic as I am of getting 4 points from the remaining two games to stay up instead of QPR, if that happens, it will be inspite of Coyle - not because of him.

I am pessimistic about us getting the 4 points that may save us but I completely agree that if we stay up it is despite Coyle. Can anyone seriously defend his tactical incompetence? Why spend money on Sordell and never play him?

To rub salt in the wound, we will almost certainly still have Coyle "managing" us whether we stay up or get relegated. The idea of Coyle leading us to mid-table mediocrisy in the Championship is not something I want to think about.

I know he gave it away and it led to the 1st goal but he was looking to pick a pass out but no bugger wanted it, it's always the same whenever he or anyone else gets it a looks up, there is nobody asking for the ball.

The only player who looks to "pick a pass" in our team is Ream.

He will almost always look for a midfielder, if (as is often the case, their standing fcuking still like twonks) he will look for a cultured diagonal.

All our other players will either go long (aimless) or sideways/backwards.

the amount of time Bogdan had the ball at his feet in the first half was alarming, he probably had more touches than Mark Davies did.

Boyata was to the right and unmarked - instead of passing the ball to him and moving towards the wing for the potential return pass, he attempted to outrun the Spurs cúnt who was tracking him. It was solely his error. That said, he still outshone almost everybody on our side in terms of effort. I don't anticipate our having Tim Ream past December, by the way. Somebody is going to wave some money at us and take him off our hands. He is a good player.
