True ,but we are stuck with him now.do you think hes a fraud? What do you see him putting in?
I want to see him organise the team.
He might come across as a nice guy and sound passionate about the game but that doesn't excuse the results his team is getting.

A fraud? I wouldn't say that. I just think he's been found out and isn't good enough to come up with a new plan. He probably believes he is but most people have lost faith in him now.

I just want to see some guts now, some bottle. We look like a beaten team in every game from the moment we concede. At 0-0, or 1-0 up, generally we do alright. We're calm, we play it about a bit, and we work for eachother. The minute Jussi's goalline is breached, we immediately lose all that. We go back to headless chickens, and no-one seems that arsed about it.
It's times like this I really miss Allardyce as manager. Granted he's an egotistical opinionated gobshite now but in spite of that he does still usually talk sense. And you know that if he was manager of either us or Blackburn, then that club would be at least halfway up the bottom half. I miss our fighting spirit.
The amount of times people used to say about us how our lack of quality was masked by our never-say-die attitude, and that above all set pieces were what we did best. If you came in our box for a corner you had to be ready to fight to get near the ball. If you dared defend one of ours, then again you knew you had a scrap to get there first and scramble it away.
I just pray we can get a spark because if we somehow could get an unfancied three points against any of our next four opponents it can be the kind of thing that can draw a line under all the shite that's gone before it. I just keep remembering how bad we were until "those" five games with Al-Habsi in net the other year. Throwing a UEFA Cup Quarter against Rangers away so we could lose at Wigan against 10 men, losing 4-0 at Villa, turning a 2-0 win at home to Arsenal into a 2-3 loss at home to Arsenal...
We've been bad before and got out of it. If we can get back-to-back wins we can still change things... though just a win will do for now.

When routine bites hard, and ambitions are low. When resentment rides high, but emotion won't grow... And we're changing our ways, taking different roads. Love... Love will tear us apart, again.

I don't remember the last season we were this bad, this long though. |

This is the worst run in the history of the club. So no, we were not this bad last season.

Almost, our worst season was 1902/03. http://www.burndenaces.co.uk/fixtures/archive/190203We lost our first 7 games, draw one, lost, drew, lost, drew and then lost another 10 before picking up our first win. |

No that's true, though we were pretty appauling in the first half of the season in both 95/96 and 97/98 and showed better form in the second half of both seasons. If we do start to get a string of results together the Bolton fans often do rally round because of the all-consuming fear of relegation. We just need a spark and then more importantly to keep it going. It should have happened after Wigan, Stoke and Blackburn but we wasted the feel-good factor every time. |

To be honest, Chris, I'm not sure there was a feel-good factor in the camp after those games. I worry that we talk too much about not being "afraid", and it only serves to remind the players they are nervous.

4 points from 6, after today, has surely raised my belief that we 'might' be hitting some form...finally. Let's hope it isn't a false dawn, again.
