v Bolton Wanderers (A) Match Thread

[LB_DCFC]

all over. Such a disappointing afternoon

[Shuff264]

Have to improve our away form

Three losses now, have to find a way to break this sort of team down. Failing that, stop conceding stupid goals in the first 10 minutes.

Football doesn’t seem much better today ?

[wixman1884]

bolton send out a blueprint on how to beat derby to the rest of the league. they looked more likely to score the entire game.

waghorn looked decent to me today - better corners and brought a real sense of urgency to our build up. 

[EnigmaRam]

Gives the moaners a chance to vent their spleens I guess. They must have plenty saved up!

[JarodyDCFC]

But don’t worry! We’ve got Norwich next! They’re totally not on a 4 game win streak or anything! Easy 3 points.

[Gritstone Ram]

I think we were unlucky today.

If Lamps learnt a lot about his players Tuesday then it should be ditto today.

i think these games also tell us a lot about the manager- can he see and make the changes to get us back into this....?????

Everything was there except the final ball or touch. He can't control the ball for them

[Harrowram]

After the lord mayor's show. A very disappointing result. Poor defending and no urgency in attack. Teams won't all play nice expansive football because most of them aren't capable of it.

[Barney1991]

Have to start waghorn over Bennett for me as much as I love Bennetts heart just feel he's never gonna score in this league and give nugent a rest and start marriott for a change and give him a good 70 minutes

From these stats you'd think we were incredibly unlucky, but the talk on here suggests a total lack of penetration. Oh well. We know we can't win every game and it's a learning curve for the management.

0 points from Millwall. Rotherham and Bolton just highlights why we will never go anywhere. If you want top 6/top 2. They are the places you go to and win. Simple as that. 

Whilst I fully understand Frank naming an unchanged line up. I was massively surprised. 

They put so much into the last 2 games. Tuesday night must have been physically and mentally tiring. So to ask them to go again today is a big ask. We've got a massive squad. So utilise it. Freshen it up.

Also. I love Frank. But letting Lawrence back on to the bench and leaving Jozefzoon out the squad was an awful decision. Lawrence hasn't done anything to come back in and we've looked better since he's been out. His stupidity against Rotherham and he just walks back in to the squad at the first time of asking.

If you only have 1 shot on target then it ain't bad luck to lose mate. 

[Inverurie Ram]

Oh well noone scored for Bolton and nobody scored for Derby, good away point, onwards and upwards......oh hang on!

[Mr Tibbs]

Infuriating afternoon, that was 3/4 of a decent performance but we still looked unlikely to get anything from that. 

 

[JarodyDCFC]

It’s really frustrating especially when you look at our upcoming fixtures. We really needed to build momentum going into Norwich.

[MuespachRam]

Without wanting to repeat myself.....but I will...We have played 10 games.....Including all of the bottom 6 teams....we have only played 1 decent team and they destroyed us...  we should easily be top of the league if we think we have any chance this season..

what is going to happen when we play Boro, Sheff Utd, West Bromwich, Swansea etc... I dread to think. 

[ramboy63]

Two steps forward and one big one backwards,4 points from last four games isnt going to get us were we need to be

No disrespect to Rotherham Millwall and Bolton but to get zero points from these games shows we still have a lot to learn.

Surprised with team selection today its alright playing the same team but i think Tuesday took a lot out of the players both physical and mentally

Maybe how to handle these games better and learn how to win- or at least not lose- them. Doh.

You didn't see the game I assume.

We were better at everything but the final shot, pass or cross.

When Bryson or Bennett or Wilson etc can show lovely touches and feints and exchanges in the middle third but then fluff an open pass/shot/cross or corner then what's Lampard meant to do?

Everything was there to win today. Everything but the final ball which was replaced by sloppy errors.

Bet you were gutted with the Brentford and Man United games?

So just to make sure, we are going to lose to all the good teams we haven't played yet?
