United 3-0 Bolton

Predictable result really. And with Rovers winning and Wolves picking up an unexpected point we really do look down and out

Needless to say Coyle saw "a lot of positives from the game today"!

Apart from Mavies' performance and Bogdan's penalty save I'm struggling to see them myself.

Fecking useless bastards once again. No passion, no bottle, and definitely no football skills.

Bogdan kept the score down, it should have been 12-0.

Coyle out.

I think 3-0 is about right.
With a 4-5-1 and the abandonment of the constant hoof up to nobody with any ability to create from it, we look a miles better, more organised, less predictable team.

Sadly, we've only Mark Davies who has that match changing quality. Him and one or two others aside, each player is depressingly lame. N'Gog, Eagles, Pratley, Steinsson, Petrov....
These are just poor poor players who in an ideal world we'd be using as nothing more than back up, but because of circumstances, they make up part of our first string for this 2011/2012 season. From here it's a case of getting the best out of them and I think 4-5-1 does that.

Although Ricketts had a rough ride with Valencia steaming through every minute, I can't help wonder how we would have gone if we still had Robinson at left back. I have to ask: what use is Ngog, a real powder-puff player, but much better than Eagles who won't go into a tackle and today repeatedly stopped any forward play by standing still and eventually passing either sideways or backwards. As for Knight, shall we get a collection together, so that we can get a contract on him?, (and I don't mean football contract !)

But, as you know - the big question is who will Coyle pick and who should he pick?

This will be my first post of a team selection on here...

Bogdan
Steinsson Knight Wheater Ricketts
Eagles Muamba Mavies NRC Petrov
Ngog

Well JayJay2, you have gone up in my estimations. You predicted the line up several days in advance and the correct result and goal difference. Well done.

Jayjay is a knobber. Any fool could have predicted the team and that United would win. He got the scoreline wrong.

Jayjay for BA!

I didn't predict the team. Does that mean I'm not a fool ?

The jury is out for now.

Dammit ! I thought I was on a winner, especially as my daughters tell me I'm 'Special'

They're just being kind!

I'm off to kick the cat

I'm warming to you. Don't give up so easily.

Our current squad is somewhat shit, a 3-0 loss to the cunts up the road is hardly a surprise.

After the penalty miss I thought we could have got something. I even thought at 45mins that if we could get them in at 0-0 then we could sneak something,

But yet again we can't keep our concentration and once the first goes in our heads drop.

From what I heard off the radio and on final score it sounded like N'gog had just gone shopping after the first 5minutes I don't think I heard his name mentioned once.

How much does Knight suck? Let me count the ways...

Up to half time we were still in it. Steinsson fell asleep for the Scholes goal. Mark Davies had a good game and didn't look outclassed.

WTF is up with Coyle and his substitutions ? Joe Riley in midfield with Pratley ?

Trotter, I believe the term is 'desperation'

Desperation indeed, I almost feel sorry for the guy his options are so limited. But it's down to him, he signed these donkeys.

It's exactly why he should be trusted with any cash in the next fortnight.

I am guessing you should have inserted a not!
