just got back from the match, the only good thing about tonight was it only took 3 1/2 hours to get home instead of 4 1/2. on the way home i had to keep thinking why i even bothered. as soon as i heard the line up i nearly came back home. fulham have won TWO away games in THREE prem seasons! i couldnt believe we packed the midfield and played one upfront who has only scored ONE goal all season. jussi-nothing to do steinsson- immense- great buy o brian- ok lubo- ok. should have scored gardner- we need his energy but not his passing taylor- looks a promising buy with good passion j o brian- did nothing mccann- why oh why did we sign him and oh why oh why do we play him?!?! nolan- good effort guthrie- tried but not one of his better games, should have cut inside instead of slashing his shot wide in first half. davis- tried but he needs help. 4-5-1 against arsenal or man u at home. 4-5-1 at some away games. 4-5-1 at home agaisnt a side that has won 2 matches away in three years!!!!!!! fcuk off

Harsh reality time this morning!! I think now the issue isn't who are worse teams, but who will come here and want to play for us? Sunderland have that bloke (though it pains me to say it) who is a proven winner supported by a board who know football. Birmingham managed by a guy who worked miracles with Scotland (and probably has bought Cahill)Reading ain't going to sell their nearest rival in the table any strikers! So it's between us and Wigan for me. If they have more goal scoring talent, particularly at home, that's it. Losing to Reading on Saturday will probably mean the end with our March fixtures. I saw a league table of last calendar year (January to December 07) and bottom three were Fulham, Wigan and Bolton. The only hope is that Keegan's fools continue their tailspin and take the final relegation place on the final day, due to Anelka's glaring miss from 2 yards out. Now THAT would cheer me up!!

Anyone trying to draw positives from tonight is living in cloud cuckooo land.

Technically not good enough and tactically totally naive. How can you play your ONLY creative midfielder on the right wing where he hardly sees the ball yet have two donkeys in centre midfield who havent got a creative pass between them, then SUBSTITUTE him and leave same 2 donkeys to carry on hoofing the ball up the field in the hope someone might be on the end of it.

Add to this playing ONE forward at home in ANOTHER must win game against a bottom 2 side.

Tonight Kevin Davies was shown up for the journeyman that he is, a hard working player who gives 100 per cent, but nowhere near good enough to score us the goals to keep us in this league. His basic ball control and passing is nowhere near good enough plus he managed to to totally mess up,the best 2 chances that he had, due to lack of basic skills.

If we dont pull a couple of rabbits out of the hat before Thursday night we are in deep trouble.

Incidentally did you notice that Anelka, SHOCK,HORROR actually played TWO matches in a week for Chelsea, something he apparently wasnt able to do for us despite his £80k a week salary. Once we knew he was going to leave, apparently 2 months ago why didnt we play him in EVERY available game, including Europe ,FA Cup etc at least we would have got our moneys worth and may still be in the FA Cup

I know its hard to see specifically where the points (and the goals) are going to come from... but I think you're analysis is too pessimistic. Megson's points return at BWFC (admittedly with Anelka for most of his games in charge) is 17 points from 14 games I think, a rate which, over a season, would probably give you a lower mid-table berth. It compares very well with Sammy Lee's return of 5 points from 9 games which guarantees relegation (and quite well with Sam Allardyce's points return for the second half of the 2006/7 season come to that). If Megson can get 17 points from the remaining 14 games we will finish on 39 points- which will probably mean we avoid relegation. To achieve this return I think he does need a high quality striker before the window closes... so the next two days are crucial, I agree. But being realistic about where we were coming from when Megson was appointed, ie relegation form in the second half of the 06/07 season under the supposed Bolton hero 'BSA' and nailed on relegation form under 'LSL' at the start of this season, this would represent a recovery. Bolton fans must remember the first two seasons in the Prem this time around when we cherished every point as a step towards survival- I remember being overjoyed when a late Rickets back heel gave us a point against Everton, who were a struggling team themselves at the time- well we are back in the same situation now. And lets not peddle the myth that 'BSA' was able to attract better players either- when we were a struggling Prem side, like we are now, he really struggled to attract big name players, especially strikers too- thats why he tried cast off's and has beens (like Jardel) which sometimes (rarely) the back room boys resurrected. Its going to be tight and we have difficult fixtures ahead, but every point does count. Please God let us bring in a quality striker before the window closes and survive this year. If we do, next season a realistic aim would be solid mid/lower mid table (50 points say) then kick on from there the season after. We have to recognise that we are in a rebuilding phase, not a transitional phase.

Best post on here Paul. You have said it ALL. SHAME ON YOU BWFC. Steinson was the only premiership quality player on the park last night. Good signing - thanks Gudni. It is getting VERY hard to keep the faith. Sign Fred Barber(our goal keeping coach) as a striker. He can hit the target better than any of the current players. Get him coaching them ALL HOW TO SHOOT ACCURATELY AND CONSISTENTLY ON TARGET. WHAT GOES ON IN TRAINING??? ON THEIR WAGES AND WITH THEIR LACK OF SKILL THEY SHOULD BE OUT THERE FROM DAWN TO DUSK.

Reinforcements should have been in place for the last 3 matches against some of the worst sides we will play, and we managed 2 points and 1 goal. Pathetic.

Are you being sarcastic Birch? Or do you really not know that he is a midfielder that BSA signed on a pre-contract agreement before the start of last season, who was already injured (knee ligaments I think) when he joined us, he is just on the way back...played half the Sheff Utd game, supposedly a good prospect....so sounds about right if we have paid his wages all this time and now he is getting fit again we are likely to sell him

I heard from a very good source that we had put a bid in for Darren Bent about 10 days ago, but due to his injury Gartside is flapping wondering how many games he will play for us. The fact that DeFoe has signed a new contract adds weight to Bent being surplus, not to mention Berbatov commiting himself to the club when it was rumoured (yes another rumour) Man.Utd was after him. Cannot see anything happening at all now though because that is my take on Gartside who is running the club down for a buyout.

I know there is huge disappointment from all us Bolton fans, but what the heck are you trying to achieve by having a go at another supporter, the sooner all supporters realise that Gartside is the conducter of this mess, then the orchestra will always be out of tune, nearly 3 months knowing that we were to lose Anelka and what has he done about it?

The clock has been ticking nicely for Gartside, especially the clock that is on his office safe.

Cannot wait to hear from the management that the return of Helgusson is timely due to a worldwide shortage of strikers, hence why we did not sign a striker.

Keep the money Gartside!! (then leave)

I know there is huge disappointment from all us Bolton fans, but what the heck are you trying to achieve by having a go at another supporter, the sooner all supporters realise that Gartside is the conducter of this mess, then the orchestra will always be out of tune, nearly 3 months knowing that we were to lose Anelka and what has he done about it? The clock has been ticking nicely for Gartside, especially the clock that is on his office safe. Cannot wait to hear from the management that the return of Helgusson is timely due to a worldwide shortage of strikers, hence why we did not sign a striker. Keep the money Gartside!! (then leave)

Trotsky - I'm loving your conductor/orchestra metaphor but surely if you had a bad conductor then the orchestra would be out of time, not out of tune. Tuning would surely be the responsibility of the musicians themselves:-) I still think that we're about to splash some cash but in desperation and when you're desperate, you don't always get what you want. You know like when you're in Ikon on a Friday night, it's ten to two, you're p*ssed and you've still not pulled. It's not a time to be picky. This is how Leicester ended with Ade Akinbiyi...

Oh my where do i start. Terrible last night, got absolutely no one to score goals, Davies wins the ball in the air, brings it down for our goalscorer.......... defender clears!! Vaz Te was in the dugout last night, whats happened with him, he played against Newcastle on the opening day got took off at half time, then never to play again?. If we dont bring in a goalscorer we are going down, there's no doubt about it. I did buy my Reading tickets in hope of seeing our new striker but i does'nt look that way now. What's happening with that Gunei striker, is he not coming now? For now the future looks bleak for the Whites!!

Youri, I do enjoy your posts here, but disagree on this one. Scouting off Eurosport is not the way to do things. Apart from which, not sure about another African for current reasons. The general feeling I pick up is that most fans were disappointed, but not surprised last night. If this was Parliament, Megson would be facing a vote of no confidence. Just to digress. I am not a big Nolan fan, but last night he showed what he can do with a couple of useful crosses from wide. Sam used to play him there, with reasonable success. Somebody has told him he is a centre mid man. He doesnt have the pace, skill or vision to play there. I cant remember him playing a telling ball all season. Him and McCann last night were often in each others way, and both struggle to cope with runners from midfield. The only person capable of passing the ball was Danny Murphy. Hope Andranik gets a run. He got a good reception while warming up and surely is better than Joey or Mccann?

Sorry but I have to share this. Not sure if anyone will remember but I had a dream more of less the night before that LSL left and I have just had a dream that Kevin Phillips scored for us at the Reebok. Believe me, this is one of my more normal dreams!

Sky Sports - Aston Villa have completed the signing of Tottenham winger Wayne Routledge for £1.25million. Is this a miss print? Can you actully buy a prem player for this and still have change for a pie and a pint? For this sort of price why the hell didn't we go for him? Or did the creativity put us off?

Yeh hes wanders too far over the half way line when we have a corner a cardinal sin at The Reebok.

Reevsey, love your "Location" man! Surely we could have beaten that out of him in due course, and if he started any of that passing (to our players) stuff.....
