The most disappointing thing is that for all their Premier League experience, Bolton were there for the taking today. Oh well.
The run had to end soon and where better than at dull depressing Bolton we go again at the massive club next week. The tinkerman has tinkered once too often BWP on would love him to score I'm one of the few who feels he's unlucky to not of started more games
BWP's problem in my opinion is that his finishing is really poor. Now i know he scored almost 30 last year but if his finishing was anywhere near what it should be he'd have scored more then Rhodes last season I'm certain, he can get into positions that cause problems but one on one with the goal keeper I would rather put my money on the keeper saving it then BWP finishing it :/ I bad mouthed pritchard this season too and he's proved me wrong so I won't complain if BWP does too though.
The thing is this season in games BWP has started he has had very few opportunities to score then got dropped I know the BWP debate is a bit marmite but I rate him
I'd love him to do well, but I don't think he's cut out for this level, i agree dropping him was a bit harsh but still, he is a great league 1 player but only a mediocre championship, not that I'm an expert, I still think Hollands could cut it at this level and was certain he would be one of the players to step up with flying colours, there goes my career as a scout
Expected to lose, but disappointed we didn't have a go. What's the use of bringing on subs with 10 minutes to go when you are already two down? Especially when you have players on that you know cannot or shouldn't last 90 minutes (Jackson, Haynes, Kermorgant, Frimpong, Seaborne)? Only consolation is that what happens one week doesn't seem much of an omen for what is going to happen the following week. We, and most of the teams in this division, blow hot and cold from one match to the next.
I was a great Hollands fan too. I don't think his problem is lack of ability. There is something else going on in the background, whether health, fitness, or personal issues.
Just got a text - Terrible game with a bit (more) forward movement could have won. Tired players not replaced again reactive not proactive subs. No fan of Pritch but missed today. No attack from Frimpong at all. Jacko clueless and slow. Beautiful ground good Addicks turnout. Isn't Ngog supposed to be useless? OK, one good run over - let's start on another one.
