Bolton Wanderers v Oldham Athletic

The ian evatt revolution continues with another home game against the bottom of league side. 20 new players through the door, 4 points from 5 games and just 2 league goals scored will today be the day we win our first league game at home and build on a 2 match unbeaten run? A shot on target today would help. From small acorns grow. Team news. The usuals are still out injured, one new player available to add to the mix, loan signing peter kioso likely to start and fill the gap left by the unfortunate injury to gethin jones.

Evatt is a bad manager full stop. Out if his depth, not a clue, protected by a 3 year contract. I am genuinely fearful of the consequences of his incompetence. Struggling to think of a worse manager in my
lifetime. Sammy Lee? Charlie Wright.

Sammy Lee didn't have Tobias and a computer to help him

I have said it before but the real culprit has to be Tobias.
Who picked Evatt? There is only one person it could be. He is the director of football and I would like to know what his pedigree is. Does anyone know? He needs to go and FV needs to bring someone in with a football brain instead of messing about with silly computer programs that have been proven to be worthless.

We were led to believe that long contracts were a thing of the past, so why give Evatt a three year contract and pay compensation to bring him to Bolton? It doesn't make sense when you are in the second division. Had he proved his with worth his contract could have extended later.

Can anyone guess which team Evatt will pick for Tuesday? He has to change it but will it make the slightest difference.

As for training I think he has asked Owen Coyle where the table tennis equipment was stored. Perhaps he has reinstated that old ping-pong game.

If anyone can sort it out it is Sam. Most unlikely he would come back and FV wouldn't be able to afford him but it wouldn't do any harm to talk to him.

It's always all about the training perhaps we should take Evatt Computers & Co away from training.
The current systems says he who's done the most in training will play but he who's done the most will be too knackered.
I've said it plenty already this season get it back to 4-4-2 anybody can play that if they can't sack them off.

It appears that Evatt doesn't rate Rowan. He said that he has to prove himself in training. I would say that he can't do any worse than the players that have appeared in the league games to date.

And yes Evatt is tied to that computer. What a computer can't do is show the desire and craft and other abilities of a player. I wish we could get rid of Tobias, Evatt and that b!00dy computer. Between them, they are making sure that will either be relegated to a non-league side or spend quite some time languishing in the lower echelons of the second division.

Tuesday will most likely produce another game when we get no points. If that happens I would like to see some comment from the board. We can't keep going down this route otherwise its going to be a disaster.

I watched Lostock and Two smoking barrels last night it's where Frank Worthington returns to run training drinks them all under the table before lobbing the empty barrels through somebody's front windscreen.

Give them time off tell them to get back in time to catch the coach on Tuesday let's see what they do with a rest from training.

The comfort zone sounds nice how much is it to get in there do you get table service is it with or without that horrible piped crowd noise.
Oh well here we go another day a big build up and putting players down until we set off for the submarine factory.

IAN Evatt has fired an extraordinary broadside at his under-performing Wanderers, claiming recent poor results are a product of ‘mental weakness’ in the squad. (from the BN.

And is this his rallying call for more guts and determination to be shown by the squad? Of course,
he is probably right but he must remember him and Tobias signed almost all of the squad with the help of the dreaded algorithm.

The program was of course down to Tobias and that caused the spat from Keith Hill. Things need to change.

Thing is the computer programme does work - it's worked elsewhere. So is it user error? Could be.

I think the players and the manager need to nail down some basics in order to start moving in the right direction.

Cid has got it Tobias bought the training edition of Moneyball it's cheaper than the full blown match edition.
