the_mighty_bosh Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Might not be a popular opinion, but this could be a game to make a few tinkers to the side. I'm a firm believer of keeping a winning side as much as possible, but this isn't a normal season and the constant games will take their toll on all players in the EFL. Added to that the subs on Saturday made a really good impact overall. Pidge was MotM in the 45 mins he played, Jameson was solid at left back, Fage had a good cameo in the middle of the park and even with Blackwood's lack of end product (see that assist!) he was a nuisance to their defence and put himself about well, unlike against Barrow on Tuesday. And looking at some of our better players, Hilßner has looked like he has been flagging a bit in the last two games and I'm not sure he could last the full 90. McAleny and Bahamboula have produced moments of brilliance in February but can be ineffective for large periods of games as well. Adams has probably been our most consistent player since January but will not be able to play 90 mins constantly twice a week over the coming weeks. Clarke looked a lot better alongside Pidge but when he's playing alongside any other defender he's not looked comfortable, which bearing in mind our loan restrictions should not make him a guaranteed starter. I'm definitely not saying that we should drop all of the 5 players from Tuesday because it would massively weaken us from the start and the game might be beyond us well before the end, but maybe even replacing a couple of them with Saturday's subs could give us some really good options off the bench for the last 20 or 30 minutes and possibly change the game late on, just like on Saturday.

kowenicki Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Bolton think they are City. Always playing out from the back... pass pass pass. Press them and they will make mistakes. .... according to my Unibol season ticket holding pal anyway. Not a game for Pidge this is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been poor for most of the season, until this mini revival All good runs have to come to an end, it might aswell be us that makes it happen.

We can win if we dont carry any passengers and all put in 100%. For me, they were one of the weakest teams we've played this season, although they've strengthened since then. Kioso was by far their best player and he's gone now. Their recent good run has been almost entirely against the basement sides - Stevenage, Southend, Barrow. I don't think we should fear them.

Get the first goal and they'll be all over the place. The ‘mini revival’ has coincided with three key additions to the team. Kieran Lee, Marcus Maddison and Declan John have joined in the past few weeks. They also have two solid centre backs in Santos and Baptiste plus three very good forwards in Doyle, Isgrove and Sarcevic. Bolton have some very good footballers and if we are not absolutely on our game they will turn us over. This is going to be a tough game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they play the same players twice as week or makes several changes to keep key players fresh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick analysis of their past few matches shows that the keeper and back four have remained constant throughout. There have been some changes to midfield and forward line but essentially the core of the team has remained intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So climbed from relegation candidates to play off hopefuls with virtually no rotation and the key players are still fresh? Makes a mockery of HKs theories.
