Not according to Appleton. He said Leigh had to clear it
YesDo we need to send Cumming back?
I wonder why they aren't playing for him? Maybe they think he's just not very good?There isnβt a back bone amongst our lot. Absolutely gutless.
Woeful performance.
Does this look like a team playing for their Manager in front of national TV? It doesnβt to me.
I feel for Des.
That is the main difference for me. Bolton are tracking our midfield and forward players if and when they make a move so any ball to them is going to be a 50:50 at best. Then we pass it back and end up losing it in the same place we started passing it back from. Their players are making smarter moves into space, and ours are not tracking them as effectively. When we do start to press them, they chip the ball into the big gap between defence and keeper, or knock it out to the big space on the far wing. I'm not really sure what can be done about it as I can't see Bolton suddenly forgetting how to play, or our players suddenly remembering. Our only hope is that they get complacent and we somehow get one back.The lack of movement off the ball is painful, everytime someone gets the ball, all of the movement is behind them, we go back, they press, we lose the ball, it's so easy
Yup, the lyrics in John Cooper Clarke's most famous track sums you up wonderfully...I take it that as a compliment that you think I have the power to decide if a manager gets the sack or not but I donβt
But he's the boss ,after 20+ games it should be better ,they should be organised, week in week out its shocking, let's hope the 2nd half is better.There isnβt a back bone amongst our lot. Absolutely gutless.

Sam Long will sort itOne thing is for certain, Des has to change something at half time. Nothing to lose. Put an extra body up top and let's put them under a bit of pressure. We're not going to score three goals from Brown and Moore doing one-twos in our box.
Damage limitations?Oh, god. Now weβve put Sam Long on .
