Carl Weathers Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I cannae wait!!! I've really missed the football over the summer and will get the first look at my new seat in section G. I'm predicting a 1-1 draw, with 12 subs in the second half! I had a look at the Bolton squad - hardly inspiring and I think they will struggle next season. Current squad No. Position Player 1 GK ?d?m Bogd?n 2 DF Nicky Hunt 3 DF Jlloyd Samuel 4 DF Paul Robinson (on loan from West Brom) 5 DF Gary Cahill 6 MF Fabrice Muamba 7 MF Matthew Taylor 8 MF Joey O'Brien 9 FW Johan Elmander 11 MF Ricardo Gardner 14 FW Kevin Davies (captain) 15 DF Gr?tar Steinsson 16 MF Mark Davies 17 MF Riga Mustapha No. Position Player 18 DF Sam Ricketts 19 MF Gavin McCann 20 FW Ricardo Vaz T? 21 MF Tamir Cohen 22 GK Jussi J??skel?inen 23 MF Sean Davis 24 DF Danny ****tu 25 DF Zat Knight 26 GK Ali Al Habsi 29 FW Zolt?n Hars?nyi 30 DF Chris Basham 31 DF Andy O'Brien 35 FW Tope Obadeyi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolton_Wanderers_F.C. In the battle of the kits, we win 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambojackbilly Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hate to say it and will be chuffed to be wrong, but 3-0 Bolton Just cant see Hearts scoring, though i will attend in the hope we do something special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only a Game Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hate to say it and will be chuffed to be wrong, but 3-0 Bolton Just cant see Hearts scoring, though i will attend in the hope we do something special Dont really need to see anything special. If we could see the beginnings of a virtually new team gelling and giving Bolton something to deal with at some part of the game, I'll be quite happy. Pretty mehhhhh on the score to be honest, as long as its not humiliating and we come away thinking one or two of the new players are awright then its cool even if we lose.

Bunny Munro Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 2-1 Bolton, Suso to score, indirectly, from a free kick, possibly a tap in after a Zaliukis knockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Weathers Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 I can't wait for my first look at the new players - particuarly Suso. The first home friendly is always quite interesting when new signings have been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Lots of substitutions by both sides. I'd have a rule that in friendlies subs can only be made at half time, 60mins and 75mins. Don't see the point in bringing 1 player on, then 3mins later stoppng for another sub, then 4 mins later another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the point of making 5 or 6 changes either. The team needs to gel and whatever Csaba's first choice 11 are they need to get 90mins under their belts.

portobellojambo1 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I'll go along and watch tomorrow night's game, and Saturday's game versus Sunderland, with no real care what the final score is. All I'll really be looking out for is some sign that the team is gelling together, and that we will be ready when the real business starts, versus Dundee United at Tannadice on 17 August. I cannot understand people that get so wound up about the results of pre season fecking friendly matches, to me they are extended training sessions. While I was a little disappointed in the performance down at Southampton, in hindsight I think that probably had more to do with the 26 hours travelling to and from the game, and the fact I didn't see any of that gelling mentioned above.

Alan_R Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Don't have a clue what to expect, but would like to see the Portuguese lads although Im not sure they will play. was just about to say the same thing. Maybe I'm being overly optomistic by hoping the striker could be 'the answer'. We can but hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't read too much into the result (unless we win:sorcerer:). I'm more looking forward to the match day experience and viewing the new players.

alwaysthereinspirit Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I think that the new guys will get a lift from their first home game and we will win 2 - 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazhearts Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I would hope to see less substitutions than in previous friendly's this season. Csaba needs to be thinking about the Dundee Utd game and giving his prefered first XI a decent chance to gell. Don't see the point in Zal getting much of a run out in the next two games as he is suspended for the first 4 games is he not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeBandit Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I've got my mates season ticket (smartcard) so i'm going for a couple of beers beforehand and to test if this seasons pies will be worth swapping weekend shifts for.. i'd like to see some commitment from the players, signs hat they can play together and maybe a goal or two.. although thats maybe wishful thinking!! got a good feeling about witeeveeenenen (sp?) and i'm hoping he'll come into his own when the season starts proper.. can't see another striker being brought in at this point, its almost as if its the same old same old gets trotted out every transfer window and its a bit predictable tbh.. i'll settle for goals from anywhere on the park and a lack of them going into our own!
