Good morning.
Well we won despite ourselves. And if you listen to Owen Coyle, against adversity. As previously on ER, I’m bored now. Nobody died and Bolton fans need to look at themselves reviving the Muamba chant late in the game to rouse their players. By the same logic maybe we could have got more out of our lot last season by flashing up images of Wilson Palacios’ relatives on the Jumbotron?
So in a football context…
The positives were certainly Bale who looked like a man restored. Modric planted in front of PNB and Livermore worked excellently. Adebayor and Rafa looked like the mature and talented chaps they undoubtedly are. The most positive positive of all is Arry managing us again.
There, I said it. We have a manager who for the second time in only a few days appears to have grasped what needed doing and acted accordingly. This underlines of course how he went AWOL on us, but it’s refreshing to see him back and taking an interest.
Negatives?
Well we kept making chances and missing them will be the cry. All I can say is I would rather we did that made just 3 chances all game. So no call for anyone out or anyone in from me.
One niggle is I have to question the sanity of these long rang shots unless they’re thunderbolts of eloquently placed. Have you too noticed the increasing, ‘Whaaaat?’ from every guy that misses to his frustrated team mates after missing? Hopefully this can be ironed out by Arry encouraging them to occasionally think of others when in a shooting position.

2nd….and good performance overall, showed that the confidence is back in time for the EPL run-in….my only question is corners/set pieces again? When did we last score from a corner, what’s our corner/goal ratio?
though the corners were much improved last night…
I must say, i thought Livermore was also super. Moved the ball around simply and effectively, Working alongside Parker + Moddle very well. We should be well chuffed, we gotta goodun there
yeah very promising with our youth comin through!
especially those with a chicken badge birth mark, who run through a brick wall for THFC
A good win plenty of chaaaaaaaannnnnnnces *jol voice*
Winning mentality and confidence booster.
Let’s destroy Chelski and get on and win this thing.
3rd and the FA cup is still on anything less would be annoying given the efforts this season.
COYS
Thought the Defoe introduction was 15 mins too late. With VDV dropping off all the time we were clearly a man light up top and overloaded in the middle with nobody running on beyond Ade. He was immense again – so much unselfish work and intelligent link play – such a shame he learnt his finishing at the Auntie Wenger two yard tap in school.
