exactly, nice football is fine on a good surface in good conditions...when those same conditions are sh1te as at portsmouth you adapt to them and tappy lappy football is a big no-no, hit the fecker long and turn the defence.

We had Stewart, Dajaku, Gooch, Neil, on the halfway line yesterday ...

... they stood and watched while Doyle passed to Hoffman who passed to Batth who passed to Doyle.

Eventually one would panic and launch it into touch ...

... just put Stewart wide, get Hoffman to hit it to him and pull their big number five out of position.

FFS, it was excruciating.
 
Considering the resources available to him and what he has achieved the Bolton Manager I would put in contention judging how they totally annihilated us yesterday and were very unlucky to be beaten by us at the SOL . He has taken a promoted side who were doing quite well early in the season had a wobble but have won their last three games and made some interesting signings who he was quite comfortable putting straight in to his side unlike LJ who brings in players and seems to agonises about playing them . I can see Bolton ending the season quite strongly not just on yesterday’s performance but the feedback in the lead up to our game - we could do worse by giving an up and coming Manager a chance .
 
I was impressed that we got Johnson. On the surface he seemed a few levels above what we got previously. A mini coup I thought. Seemed the right man for the job and, at times on the pitch this season, we certainly acted like it was the case. However he just seemed to have some fundamental flaws, one being his man management and I get the feeling it hasn't just been performances and results that has caused him to get the bullet. Player power may have struck again. Not saying that they have downed tools but maybe they have damaged them and not been arsed to buy new ones.

Agree, wish him well. Hopefully we have a plan and not a knee-jerk reaction

It’s just such a bizarre one. Manager of the month in December, gone in January. Backed all the way through the transfer window and gone a day or two before it shuts. Wycombe away, Accrington away, these fine margins summarise modern football and everything I hate about it. I’m not gonna stick my neck out and say he would have got us up or not, but managers are rarely given any time when it goes tits up. Still adamant that if broadhead didn’t get crocked in the arsenal game things would be different.
