Previewing Bolton v Blades

[Beans]

Preview for tomorrow's match here if anyone would like a read - had a look at whether Bolton deserve their reputation as "hoofers", whether they're going to make a sneaky run at the playoffs, the key danger men, and their likely tactics.

Cheers as always for reading

I’ve read the reports and it seems Bolton have been dominated by the opposition in every match this season (4 league and 1 cup). So everything suggests they are currently in a false position.

Pretty confident we won’t lose, think we’ll get a 1-1 minimum.
Also think Leon will score, he’s due a goal.

You're right on possession but that in itself doesn't necessarily mean they're in a false position. Cardiff and Millwall didn't care for holding onto the ball last season and were all about getting it forward quickly. There are a few other factors that do suggest Bolton have been a bit fortunate so far though, as I've laid out in the preview

Great stuff. Very enjoyable read.
I think that Billy will keep his little run going and score one.

I don't know about you, but I'm sure the analytics suggest that playing someone on the right wing rather than no one would help Notlob's cause

Leicester. I’d be surprised if they had more than 50% of possession in any PL game they played in their title winning season. I’d guess more like 40% in most games.

possession is a bit overrated .. it’s because barca are flavour of the month

They had 54% at Man United last week

That wasn’t during their title winning season though, and they lost.

Good guess: 44.7% was the average figure according to this site.
