Well I agree and disagree with the previous comments. I didn't watch the Lincoln game and if they did give it a go, well good for them.
We don't play that type of game and we haven't done for some considerable time now. We have recruited coaches and players accordingley to play the type of football that our opponents played last night. However, we are a third tier team and the players we recruit are also third tier players or young lads who are on loan to get experience at a club that thinks they are in the same league as Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City and Aston Villa.
And it's boring.
Yes we made 7 changes, but we could've made zero changes from Saturday and the resulting performance would've been the same.
As for Dion Charles. He's not the player he was a few seasons ago, which is why Bolton were so keen to have our pants down in January. We only play one striker in the starting XI and he is now fourth choice for that role, often not even getting a place on the bench. Last week, after playing against Germany, his next game was in front of a few people for our u21 team against Cardiff.
