But we are coming from SO FAR back that any positive no matter how small we seem to cling to.
Our stock of good players is as thick as tissue paper so if a player can pull some boots on, take marks and kick goals then he is a legend.
Other teams are able to pick up some knob at pick 45 and he turns out as a first 22, built like a brick st house and a 100 game match winner, I mean WTF. We pick up a top 10 player and he plays 15 games and ALWAYS looks like a string bean and couldn't hit the side of a barn door with a bag full of wheat.
Our playing list is so full of weakness and weak spots it is not funny.
SO MANY good picks stuffed up (no F**KING STUFFED UP) by incompetence.
The club we all love wants success but knows F**K all about how to get it. Why do other clubs get it and we don't?
Bolton has brought cohesion and that is all at the moment and with our thin list that is about as much as we can expect.
I understand we are on the road of a rebuild and want it and expect it and support it BUT who ever is left wearing that beautiful Navy Blue Guernsey I EXPECT them as an unconditional requirement they wear it with pride and play with INTENSITY and PASSION AND leave NOTHING on the field.
NOT go through the motion and collect their pay cheque. >
I agree with you about the club as a whole.
In regards to the Casboult part of it, in short, we know what we are going to get from him and it is well below average when compared to his peers.
It's like when we were playing Setanta. He was full of energy, tried his guts out and was a good athlete. However, he simply didn't have footy smarts and/or ability to pick up the nuances of the game.
From where he came from, he did a superb effort. Which brings me to this...

Simon White..same... 56 in the same rookie draft.
Once you are on the list, it doesn't matter where you were taken and if you exceeded expectations, or failed to live up to them. It matters what you can do out on the footy field.

It's inconceivable that we can go into this game unchanged given the insipid effort last week.
Not sure that there's anything to lose by swapping Thomas or White for Kerridge and McKay. Hell, I'd even prefer to see Jaksch ahead of White.

In all honesty, dropping anyone after 1 week is a bit harsh. For all his flaws and lack of motivation, and lack of effort in his game last year it was still harsh to drop Jaksch. He was brought in for 1 game then dropped never to be seen again.
At least everyone gets a 2nd crack at it now. No excuses if they put in another poor performance.

No doubt going in unchanged is a surprise, I am wondering what the msg is there? After out performance last week, i would have thought there would have been some.

I'm not sure that it is much of a surprise. There weren't too many blokes in the NBs whose performance screamed "pick me!" Graham and McKay were two who would have attracted the MC's attention. Graham tries hard but I don't think he offers any more than Thomas (and I think I'm being generous to Graham here). I would have liked to see McKay get a game but I suspect that his debut will be managed carefully. Kerridge will have this week as an emergency and should then either get a game or go back to the NBs.

Yeah, Mackay was the only 1 that really put his hand up for me, and I'm not really upset that they have kept him out.
For the 22 picked, again, there will be no excuses. There has to be a much better effort and performance this week.
@DJC, all the best to you and your boys this week!!

How does Daisy do it?
Is it a miracle?
Love to hear your thoughts! :
