SCIENCE and psychology at the Reebok Stadium! What next?

Well, how about decent coaching to instill a better knowledge of tactics, set pieces and team organisation.

At the same time Wanderers should invest in a good old fashioned scout who knows what a "player" looks like.

Looking at Sam's recent signings no one could possibly have watched some of these players beforehand, except their agents on video.

The fans are not stupid, better players are available in Britain, providing you know what you are looking at.

And they are available, a lot of them having been put out of jobs because of the invasion of foreign players.

The team that played Sunderland was one of the worst Bolton teams I have ever seen.

Remember Sam Allardyce inherited a half decent squad but only stayed up last season because of Ipswich Town's involvement in the UEFA Cup.

Now, due to the transfer window, results are down to those who can coach and get the best from their players.

So Sam, please stop trying to pull the wool over our eyes with this scientific approach nonsense. How did the laptops and psychologists perform on Monday night?

Get back to basics, and start by passing the ball at least four times to a colleague and keeping it.
