TEAM NEWS FROM BOLTON Club News This afternoon's lineups as the Reds take on the Whites in the Sky Bet League One Play-Off Semi Final First Leg. Continue reading on the official site...
Very surprised Norwood hasn't started considering the physicality that Bolton will bring to the game. I personally would've dropped Cole. But then again Duff is the football manager and I'm just a fat lad sat at home waiting for kick off.
Cotter unlucky to lose his match squad place, unless he’s injured of course. Still, a very strong bench.
I don’t agree on Cotter. I think he showed in his performance that he’s a million miles from being tactically ready and positionally aware enough to play league football. He’s got a chance but he has a lot to learn. He can’t be trusted yet in big games. In a choice of him or Benson for the bench there was only one winner. He’d have made the bench only if Mads hadn’t made it.
Also just realised, no cundy on the bench either so they must be confident Mads is fully fit. Only defensive cover we have is Larkeche and Benson can cover right wing back if we need to push Williams back.
If cotter played today we'd 100% gift them at the very least one goal. Defensively, positionally he was incredibly poor. Good going forward but not a chance we could have risked that in play offs.
