    OK we look comfortable but FFS Bolton are shit they look like a pub side, the tippy tappy getting nowhere passing looks pretty but when we get into good forward positions the final ball, crossing, corners, free kicks and especially our long balls need to radically improve they are woeful.

    If we lose this the team should be ashamed of themselves.

     

    Pub side correct, they can barely pass to each other. Ergo, we lose from a set piece.

    Dominating the game really but  as others have said, creating nothing. Kelly has done well and we've won loads of cheap free kicks, but creating little. Reckon we could see Eliassion pushing up to be more advanced, and Paterson needs to find his spark back or be replaced I think. Nothing that much to worry about but it will be 2 points dropped if we don't win this one.

    Yes, Paterson doing zip.

    Get a feeling it will be a draw...

    Looks like 4-4-1-1 with Paterson behind Weimann? Or perhaps it's a 4-2-3-1. Kelly starting, heard Dasilva had a bit of a knock- which is why he isn't even on the bench.

    According to a couple of sites, Bolton seem to be setting up in a 4-3-3. Probably not an offensive 4-3-3 but a 4-3-3 all the same- suppose formations and setups are fluid however. Will be interesting to see how the midfield battle goes, dunno if it'll put us at a disadvantage.

    I think we are 4-4-2 which could mean midfield an issue again as it was last week.

    Crying out for a good right back and right winger.  Paterson flattered to deceive so far.  Freeman not good enough.  O'Dowda too raw.  

    Like the rest of the team though and prefer Tomlin wide 

    I wouldn't say I prefer Tomlin wide, but I can see the logic. He's been dropping far too deep as a no. (often through frustration - similar to Rooney) 10 thereby leaving no link to Tammy. Hopefully Reid is that link today. The link to Tammy or whoever up top is very, very key.
