have a brief look at where we sat for points conceded over the last few seasons (obviously, higher up is worse) :
2012 - 10th
2013 - 10th
2014 - 5th
2015 - 1st
2016 - 9th
2017 (to date) - 9th
To me, Bolton has almost brought us full circle, and we now have a defensive record comparable to Ratten's last season. Yet under Bolton, we are now seen as a tight defensive unit etc., things are looking up etc, yet under Ratts we were a basket case that leaked goals, could only attack and not defend etc.
Well, there's just no accounting for that, except that some myths need to be exposed and shamed for what they really are.
to be fair to bolton, he doesn't have judd, garlett, betts (or bootsma)at his disposal.
