" It's about results now "

Sat Mar 21, 2026 2:35 pm

I can talk all day about how our play was too slow today but we still had chances etc.

But we're at the part of the season where it's just about results.

And that today isn't good enough, we should have won it.

Play was too slow but we had plenty of chances to get the goal we needed.


I still am very confident we go up but we need to work on things over the international break.

Of recent results, this is the worst one in my opinion.

Understood the defeats against Lincoln and Wycombe but this was just a very poor result.

The gap tonight will be at least 8 points so we are still in a fantastic position. Our bubble has burst and we are out of form. BBM needs a new plan and fast. We need Salech back. Its crucial. Glad we are away in our next two, this young team are struggling with the expectation at home.

He must stop playing Kellyman and Colwill together. Joel has to play too

This break has come at the perfect time, we look leggy and short on confidence, we need to come back refreshed with Salech and issac back and get 3 wins ASAP to ease a bit of the pressure that is obviously getting to some of these players

This is professional football, not coaching gobbledegook
The individual players are improving, he is not

Not a fan of the double pivot with inverted wide men then?

:D I am until it stops working, but you replace like for like then in the presser after, say the usual "the players game their all to send the supporters home happy"

Their manager won the battle, knew how we played, knew we'd never change and countered it. Happening a bit too often now

Same players that finished rock bottom of the Championship. Wouldn’t want any of them next to me in a fire fight.

I think the pressure is on Bolton we have points in the bag yes the last few games we haven't been great usually bbm tickers with the team last 3 here's tried same 11 only changed because of osho red card he can't win either he changes team to much when he keeps same side he's gets criticised for not changing I think promotion is already in the bag

Football is always about results that really should go without saying, it is literally the point of the league. We will go up in 2nd no problem. As I said on a different thread theee is a bigger picture, currently we dropped below where we have been next season, now its time for Murphy to earn his money and really show us what he’s made of. This in the long run could be a blessing in disguise and exactly what Murphy needs to improve his management skills. Hes 10/10 at the moment but if he doesn’t improve on some of his mindsets we will have a difficult season next season. However he has plenty of time to adapt and he’s taken us up a few levels already so I have no reason to think he can’t again.

100% agree, this is a test, and the gap analysis should steer the summer (his first) activities.

Sorry should have been clearer.

What I mean is earlier in the season you can be encouraged by performances even if the result isn't there, but when you get to the final stages of the season the result is the only thing that matters.

I personally think BBM will excel in the Championship. The style is perfect for that league.
