Nero Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 First half was a typical Wednesday first half. Very little happened. Couple of well worked chances sent wide.We looked reasonably comfortable except for long balls and crosses. They scored a after some pressure through cross and us not clearing. After half time it was pretty awful. We were pressing on but not creating anything and we got picked off twice on the break. Abdi is not a partner for Bannan. We were wide open. Bolton were pretty bad but they were still better than us. And then.... I don't know if it was subs or they got knackered but we absolutely bulleted them for the last 20 minutes. Scored 2 out of 5 good chances. The Carlos stuff was too far away to see properly but he was clearly pissed off and getting manhandled anout. 2 more points. Some of our fans have lost perspective. 1 idiot dragged his daughter out after an hour screaming about fxxxing Carlos. It was pretty poisonous 2bd half until the first goal. Bolton. WTF. Just promoted and they get 3700 against our 2600. Pathetic tinpot support and crap soulless ground. MoM Rhodes for the goals Wallace was awful and I'm a fan Wildsmith......

fpowl Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Only thing I disagree with is the first half. i thought if they had a bit more quality they could have hurt us more. They destroyed us with pace and directness by running at us around the back and showed much more urgency I agree because their final ball or finishing was poor it made us look more comftable that what it appeared but a better team would have took better advantage having penetrated our back line and getting balls into the box. how we can nearly outnumber an home team at this level on a Tuesday now night was a joke. their fans made it feel like an under 21 atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bez Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Disagree. We were the better team and played nice footy. Created chances against a defensive team but didn't put many away. They did very little beyond set pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggoisgod Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I've been and it was fkn awful until we were 3 down Wildsmith was appalling Tom lees distribution was embarrassing Abdi blowing out his are all game showed nothing FF clearly not arsed Winnall completely ineffective..get rid imo Rhodes isolated until big Dave came on...then scored twice Worst game I've ever seen Wallace have Bannan poor and too deep again Starting eleven only pudil, reach and Rhodes can take any credit Positivea for me were Dave, Matias and joao who all looked up for it at least As for Carlos I think the pressure is telling...and rightly so we should have smashed them with that team...

owlmanc Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I was there tonight. Make no mistake about it Bolton are a VERY poor team. We looked void of ideas... No quick passing, intelligence going forward and positional play not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leetheowl Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I was there tonight. Wish I hadn't gone. Apart from the last 15 minutes it was dire. Not as bad as Preston, but dire nonetheless. Carlos is a lovely guy but I think he's run out of ideas. Hope he proves me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

station road owl Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 we walked out after 3rd goal, was an utter disgrace and a spineless performance from every single player. I wouldn't have kept carlos on in the summer and at the minute he's doing nothing to prove me wrong. things defiantly need a MASSIVE improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty0wls Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 As an owl who didn't go it would be easy to think from just reading some of the stuff on here that we were a lot worse than we actually were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
