  • Stockley off leeburn on in the middle, why not?
    Because the problem isnt the Striker?

    How many chances has Stockley wasted for us today, bloke is an easy target because he hasnt put it in the net this season. 

    Payne or CBT for Kirk at the moment is the best solution
  • Bolton have worked very hard with the press and we've just not been able to get any sort of passing game together. Let's see if there's a plan B for the second half.

    Fucking passionless shite. Why didn’t the players give the Lino and ref pelters when they scored their first.  I expect garner to moan like hell to the ref at HT enough to get a red about their first goal but he won’t because he has no passion for our club , just like the guitar player owner. Utter minge!
    What?
  • Great Brownie," a slight chance of handball" ffs man open yer eyes it was as blatant as you can get it,,
  • Golfie sure is active for a man who has been claiming every other post for the last couple of days that he was disillusioned/going to stop going/taking a step back etc 😉

    Garner's system is scarily open. We give the opposition so much space. Think we will concede a lot of goals this season. 
  • when will we ever get a decent manager who will pick a team and a system that will make it difficult for the opposition.

    If it’s not working have a plan b for fucks sake.
  • Bolton first goal was put in by the player hand.. reply has shown ..

    He'll be dominated too. Is there not a way we can play both up there? Got to be some flexibility with the formation. 
    I don't know that going to 4-4-2 is going to help our being dominated in midfield. I don't know that 3-5-2 suits us well.

    Watching the goals back - our defence is dreadful. Hasn't improved at all from last season, it's still so easy to get it out wide and then find a man in the middle. Maybe 4 men unmarked for their second?

    Go and Google all the top managers in the premiership. Google their name and ‘plan B’, and see what comes up and report back here thanks.

    Thanks Colin.

    Currently 13th. It took 2 managers 46 games to get there last season.....Garner's taken just 7 👏
    FFS mate give it a rest for Gods sake !
    But he’s right - for various reasons I’ve not been for two seasons I went to the last home game and it was atrocious football utter crap unless you like the ball passed across the defence twenty times before they hoof it up the pitch to Slugley the centre forward.
    crap players crap owner, crap manager no investment, bullshit excuses. Same shiite different owner. Tossers the lot em and they expect people to pay for the pleasure.
    I think it's important that you're taking this in stride.

    We are short on our left side, Bolton are using the width. Garner needs to think how we reduce that threat. He doesnt have too many options with no experienced full back in the squad.

    This blokes quality. 
  • Feel sorry for Claydon as he is being targeted by Bolton and he’s having a mate. Lost the ball for their first and sold himself during the build up to the second. Mind you  he is getting no help from
    Kirk
  • Stockley is playing in a system that doesn't suit him. Garner apparently watched videos of last season's games so must have seen that Stockley does not suit his system and he must have known of Chuks difficulties and didn't attempt to recruit a striker until just before the window closes, guess the T&MS know better

    Hate the Stockley pile on.

    You can't fault the fellas effort. He is not suited to this system at all.  That is not his fault. Nor is the fact we decided to let Washington go and not replace him meaning we have no option but to start and play Stockley in a system that does not suit him week after week.
    It's a football forum at the end of the day and players who play rubbish will get criticised
    That’s fine, what gets frustrating is when people want to blame everything on one player. Stockley isn’t at fault for all the misplaced passes in midfield. Stockley isn’t at fault for the midfield losing second  balls all over the pitch. Stockley isn’t at fault for the number of players being left unmarked in our box. What Stockley has done today is struggle to get on the ball and hold it up but, as I noted earlier, the service to him has been really poor. But this thread is mostly about Stockley. Can’t you see why people feel like that is him being singled out unfairly?

    No one on here think’s any player should be immune from criticism. Just some balance.

    I'm not sure either but continuing as we are will likely not change anything.

    In which case why didn't Garner push harder for a Striker to replace Stockley - All the players signed appear to be his choices, so if he knew that JS was so limited he should have pushed for him ahead of others who arent starting.

    Well, we have solved the problem of lots of possession and not enough shots.

    It's Charlton coniving to beat themselves day.

    some many players off the pace this half. We have made Bolton look good and they are very average. 

    Midfield are pretty rubbish with the exception of Dobson. 

    The system is making Stockley look like a donkey. Maybe he is? Kirk bloody awful and their second goal directly from his stupid mistake. Fraser and Morgan... just not doing enough, no balance there at all. 

    Got to improve dramatically second half otherwise we're going to get tonked. 
    Totally agree 're JS. 

    On the 32nd minute he did what I felt was his first positive thing via a neat touch to another player in a red shirt. 

    THIS is what we have to work with at least until January.
