Fatwax Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 If we use our pace I can't see too much of a problem. We're at home so we should go out looking to frustrate them and getting them to give away corners and dangerous free kicks. Bolton may be on a high after beating Stoke, but with us having held the champions of Europe in their own backyard the crowd will be really up for this. I think we'll win and the scoreline won't reflect our performance either. Martins to be on the warpath aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 According to the Ronnie Gill, Graeme Danby will be doing a rendition of the Blaydon Races again. Superb! He's doing it 4 times this season, first and last home games plus the mackems and smoggies unless he was already booked for any of those dates before the fixtures came out.

pedro111 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Whats the crowd going to be like? With season ticket sales down and the fuck up with the tickets being sent out are we looking at thousands of empties on Sat? Hope our Argies dont get injured midweek.

With season ticket sales down and the fuck up with the tickets being sent out are we looking at thousands of empties on Sat? Hope our Argies dont get injured midweek. Would have thought after last week and first home game etc it will be close to if not sold out. Should imagine it will be a good atmosphere as well. KK wants it to be a fortress again, who could disagree. Bring it on. They will provide a tough test but if the crowd are patient, right behind the team and we play like we did last week, we should batter them. Also, be interesting to see what the new signing section will do to improve the atmosphere as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 If we attack Bolton like we did manu then we'll win this game comfortably even with Bolton playing 10 men behind the ball. Still a potential banana skin of a game, especially with the new found optimism and confidence kicking in from last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I hope those anti footballing c***s dont come here and do the same s*** as last season or we could come away with just a point. Aye, I hope we batter them for their disgraceful tactics last time out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I think we should line up as: ---------------------Given------------- ----Beye------Taylor------Collocini----Enrique--- ----Jonas------Butt-----Guthrie------Duff-------- ------------------Owen--------Martins--------- Thats IF Owens fit. I think we'll win 3-0 and Danny Guthrie will score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I'm thinking we breeze this one. The lads look confident and an early goal will send us on our way. I imagine it'll be a game similar to our matches against Fulham and Reading towards the end of last season. Score early, dominate possession and finish things off in the second half.

Mistle17 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 We must win this game though. Considering we're going to Arsenal after, we need to get as many points on the board as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we can get a draw at Arsenal. But again, we'll have to perform to a similar standard of the Man Utd performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guinness Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I think this will be a difficult game, but it's vital we win in order to carry on the good work started at OT. Bolton will have taken a lot of confidence from their win over Stoke and as always will try to come here and impose themselves physically. If we play with the attacking intent and defensive stability shown against Manchester United with the crowd fully behind us we should have every chance of winning the game. With Arsenal away next it's pretty important we pick up our first three points of the season this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewellander Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I think we'll pull this one out. We should probably start with the same team that went out against Manchester United, and hope that Owen (and maybe some new signings) can get a run out in the 2nd half.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I would have taken 4 or 6 points from the first 4 games to be honest, but after our start I think 7/8 is now achievable. Let's face it, Bolton beating Stoke doesn't suddenly make them a good side. Elmander and Davies will be a handful, but other than that we should dominate the game. Hopefully they will only play one of them and give us an advantage straightaway. Just hoping for another positive performance, if we deliver that we should pick up the win.

Guest Glorious Given Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Expect Bolton to have 9 men behind the ball with long balls booted to Davies and Elmander upfront We will do well to break them down and it could be a really frustrating game. Yes, expect this to happen - we desperately need an early goal, and if that happens, I reckon its going to be a 3-1 win...if we fail to score by 10 mins into the second half, we will be up against it ; Megson had them organised last time, but Guttierez could be the key - attacking them at pace down the flanks could undo their discipline but it won't be easy. I hope Owen is match-fit, because his opportunism could be vital. We are back to square one if we lose this game, as we have Arsenal away after it... I remember the Bolton game last season (KK's first game back) finishing 0-0 with us failing to break them down, but I think we have a better chance now. For one thing we have some better players in, like Spidey and Guthrie, who could create something, plus Oba and hopefully Owen back, not to mention the two late goals against Valencia! Also the team seemed very determined in the second half not to let it slip against Man U, and that determination could help again on Saturday, albeit with us needing to score rather than needing to protect a point... So pretty confident, 2-0 Martins and Guthrie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hoping they come here playing for a 0-0 and we absolutely trash them from the get go. 2-0 is my prediction, Guthrie and Coloccini to score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
