    Reckon we might need another though.

    With the tough run of games we just had hopefully a couple of wins will stop nose bleeds in the final third.

    It's a grand old team to play for.........

    Why hasn't he given Barkley a run out?

    barkley is on & looks to attack everytime he has ball or lays it off , need that mentality to spread through the team & then we will see better performances

    He should\ve had more then 5 mins at the end.  I would have put him on as soon as we'd gone 2-0 up.

    -----------------



    To be fair we often complain when our players don't shoot outside the box and keep looking for the next person to pass it to and he was in decent positions outside the box for the couple of times he got it there.

    when he did pass it went backwards , at least he has a go & yes its not a bad thing shooting at goal

    It is kind of a bad thing wasting EVERY attack though.

    tbf we waste attacks most of the time , fh with 6 player running to goal with ball wide , cross comes in & easily dealt with because nobody had the sense to hold back for the easy ball , i.e. 3 forward 3 hold back bolton would have been in **** creek , basic really

    Thought you might have calmed down, with us winning. I know Sheitz is still alive, but to moan about Barkley having a go when were 2-0 up is a bit naggy really. He is still only 17, and obviously was trying to make a mark in the short time he was on, and for that i dont blame him, as he just isnt getting enough game time at present.

    I just think it's his style of play. He did the same against QPR.

    Youthful exuberance imo.

    If one of these had flown into the top corner  by now from 20 yards people wouldn't be bothered how many shots he had.....

    yeah but the problem is he hasn't scored and his distant shooting isn't the best.

    Warrington Dan - We win 2 - 0 and you slate a kid who has hardly played for the past couple of months for making a bit of room for himself and taking a shot.  

    Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

    I wouldn't say I'm slating the lad, criticising yes slating no. I think he can be a great player but he has a lot to learn. 

    P.S. please don't quote ICE CUBE lyrics at me :p

    You can do it, put your back in to it.

    The boys a quality attacking player.. with him and Drenthe with Velios upfront and you've got yourself a goal threat again.

    I thought Bily did well today. Drenthe will struggle to get back into the team which can only be a good thing. Competition for places and all that.

    Agree, thought Billy was pretty good second half.. maybe the Bolton players were as knackered as him with the man down and he beat them with experience.. Good crosses again though, when in the right place with the ball he is quality, and when he lines up to shoot its hard not to get a bit expectant, the rest of his game is lacking though. did muscle a few players out though, clearly getting stronger.
    I'd still rather play Drenthe myself.

Howdy, Stranger!
