    Hark at her, must be one of my many admirers from Stalk missing my presence in shaking things up on there.

    I appreciate in your shite snivelling life it is easy to get incredibly jealous of mundane success like being able to splash out a crazy £200 on a regular plate with OWL on it. Crikey you should wander down Claywheels Lane on matchday where its actually more unique not to have an OWL plate. 

    Now if you bothered to look properly on this thread you would see it was an auspicious edit of an original post from 2 weeks ago, to make it appear how knowledgeable I was, to then ironically self congratulate myself. I appreciate for you as an intellectually challenged person that you ably demonstrate, such humour is a difficult concept to grasp 

    You forgot the full stop.

    Fuck me i am good at this analysis 

    You're very good at blowing smoke up your own backside, that's for sure. Look at me, I have a personalised reg plate and own my own business. Who'd have known??

    Aye. We lost 2-1. Ross Barkley pen equalised and Alonso scored the winner. Think Martin Taylor fucked up for that goal.

    Can't remember Bolton's first goal. Was kinda embarrassing losing to a side managed by Owen Coyle.

    Really? Oh dear. That would be just typical! 🙁

    It was actually the first goal to put them 1 up. Header from a corner IIRC (yeah, it's always happened). 

     

    Their second was quite an impressive solo goal from Mark Davies, who I think was very close to signing for us at some stage after. It caused a Bolton fan to tumble onto the bottom tier of the West Stand. 

    It was either at the beginning or in the middle of a terrible run of losses and lack of goals for us. 

    Rather jack than lose to Fleetwood Mac

    If only Gibson and Windass were fit ... 

    I can see Wycombe, Plymouth and Sunderland winning on Saturday so we must win handsomely tonight. Portsmouth is not an easy game.

    Just out of interest what were you expecting from Nuhiu?

    The back end of that 17/18 season he only got a run of starts because he was almost the last forward left standing and he finished top scorer. That was the season the clamour for Hirst to be playing started cos we were that short. 

    He formed a very effective partnership with Forestieri, who arguably had his most productive games when alongside Atdhe, and possibly could have done the same with Rhodes or Winnall if Carlos had tried it instead of throwing off the bench to defend corners in the last ten minutes. 

    He was never a striker. He was a centre forward who offered something different to everyone else we had at the time. We rarely played to his strengths. We used him as an isolated outlet to try and hold the ball instead of throwing balls into the box for him to compete for (which ironically happened in that 17/18 run) He's one of those players who did whatever was asked of him while he was here and loved the club, unlike some of the players on here. He didn't steal a wage either, unlike some on here, and he never threw his teddy or refused to play, unlike some players we've come to hold in high esteem. 

    I don't think his attitude, professionalism and application was as good as people are making out. The dopey **** couldn't even jump for a header. He would have been very dangerous and effective if he could have mastered that simple skill. 

     

    Not the worst, by any means, but he certainly doesn't deserve the adulation he gets from our fanbase.

    Nuhiu?  Top scorer in the 2017/18 season when he possibly kept us up?  Oh well maybe some of our fans prefer being in League One and giving it the large one at places where there’s almost as many of us as the the home fans.

    I don't see the relevance. Granted, he was in good form towards the end of that season, but to say he possibly kept us up is some stretch.

     

    Just emphasised what he was capable of when on his game. No coincidence at all, given his contract was expiring.
