Match Thread Bolton Wanderers v The Mighty Blades

[FinchleyBlade]

Not conficebt

 

[FreePaulRodgers]

No one has mentioned a certain Clayton Donaldson....

 

[Boxer Blade]

Think Clayton Donaldson will play?

 

[Geordie Blade]

I'm afraid you've made a mistake with your title, mate. We're not playing 'Bolton' today, everyone knows it's Notlob. To my mind, there's no such place or team as 'Bolton' but correct me if I'm wrong.

My underlanding is that ‘Bolton’ is occasionally used as a derogatory term towards the inhabitants of Notlob. Something to do with reversing the letters as a result of a comedy sketch by Sucric Gniylf Snohtyp Ytnom.

 

[Bladebri]

Think we will put a Blot,on their good start

UTB. 0-4

 

[HydeParkBlade]

Norwood, Fleck and Duff in midfield. Lovely.

 

[blader]

Best side available that.

Until Coutts is fit that is our best line up that we can put out. Can’t ask for anything more from the manager, up to the players now to perform.

 

[dazzlingblade]

Norwood, Fleck and Duff in midfield. Lovely.

Arguably our current strongest line up, happy with that, hopefully we can pass them to death and finish off our chances

 

[FinchleyBlade]

Much more confident with that side, if Duffy is fit he always has to play for me.

 

[snootyfenooty]

It's a no-brainer isn't it. That team for me is the strongest out of what we have available and Norwood is fast approaching the missing link since Coutts was injured. He'll have a scrap on his hands getting back in if things start going our way over the next few games. Take Lundstram out and that's a fucking handy bench as well.

 

[Birdwell Blade]

Still quite surprised he didn't bring Stearman in, but credit to him for having the balls to play an attacking team. Glad he's done that to be honest.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Very confident we’ll avoid defeat.

Ignore the table, doesn’t tell you much at this early stage, however I can say that our performances have been mixed whereas Bolton have been generally poor.

Both teams will be happy with a draw, so think it will be 1-1.

If any team is going to win then based on form and ability then it’s us that will win. The bookies also have us as favourites to win and Bolton are still one of the favourites for relegation.

 

[Snowman]

Disappointed no Stearman, but otherwise nothing more he could do except put Nosher on the bench.

 

[Sean Thornton]

If we lose, I smell a meltdown coming.

Difficult game today, Bolton’s strengths (set pieces, direct football) have been our weaknesses so far.

Smelling a meltdown on here is hardly a long odds bet though is it

Sounds reasonable

 

[Stretch]

The Bolton midfield will go in dizzy at half time, after a passing and possession masterclass from Messrs Fleck, Norwood and Duffy.

 

[Blade56]

3 points today, nailed on

That sounds very reasonable

 

[sheffielder]

Disappointed no Stearman, but otherwise nothing more he could do except put Nosher on the bench.

Sounds a very bladey blades reaction. If stearman was good enough he would be playing

 

[Boxer Blade]

Norwood, Fleck and Duffy all playing, brilliant news 1-3

 

[Snowman]

Sounds a very bladey blades reaction. If stearman was good enough he would be playing

Naughty man!

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Said it before the game, say it again. Fleck, Norwood and Duffy are going to think its their collective birthdays today. They'll run rings round this set of clogging cock waffles all afternoon.

UTB

 

[Snowman]

I always worry when Blades make confident predictions. They never come true. I much prefer to be miserably pessimistic. Bolton are a bit of a bogie team and their direct style is designed to avoid our midfield. It will be smash, grab, back behind the ball.

Er, come on Blades, please?

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

In a 3-5-2 set up , this is definitely the best side we can turn out and I'm hoping for the best .

 

[bromtom]

Reyt play so far. Looking good. Nice finish from Duff too. UTB

 

[dazzlingblade]

Great start, oh how I've missed the duffmeister

 

[bromtom]

Leon is so silky when he's on form. Capable of some lovely skill.

 

[Basegreen_Blade]

We've got Duffy
Super Mark Duffy
I just don't think you understand
He stops the bouncing
Makes the blades sing
We've got super Mark Duffy

 

[dazzlingblade]

2-0 lovely jubbly
