Falkirk FC v BWFC Preview

Hello again folks.  Unlike BWFC, at least the weather seems to be improving lately.  I haven't really had the motivation to write anything at all over the past few days, mainly because there wasn't really anything to write about.  But as we have another game today, I thought I best try and write a brief spiel before tonight's game.

So what have I missed?  Well not much.  Michael Owen isn't coming to Bolton Wanderers.  OC is on the lookout for another striker, though.  This can only be a good thing, with our lack of converted chances recently (and with Sordell and N'Gog not available) it is becoming more evident that we need to strengthen our attack.

Apparently today is the day when OC will decide whether or not to take on Cisse. 

As well as being on the lookout for another striker, OC is also looking for another midfielder.  Hopefully Cisse can impress tonight.  He's on a free and the money saved could be used on a potential forward player.  However loan options do exist, and there's no point on wasting wages on a mediocre player, so here's hoping Cisse can step up to the plate.

Tonight's game is against Falkirk FC

After our wasted opportunities at goal cost use the game at Hamilton, maybe it's either time for BWFC to:

a) Work on our headers, as that's where most of of chances came from, glancing headers just wide, or just over.

b) To stop with the wing play and play the ball into the box down the middle (see point a).

c) Or maybe today is the time to try a 442.

I know I've banged on about preferring to play 451, but clearly this isn't working.  SKD just isn't able to pull off the lone striker role.  If N'Gog isn't available again tonight (just what is going on there?) then maybe play a 442 with young Eaves could partner the skipper up front.  But what do I know?  And preseason isn't about results, but it would be nice to celebrate a goal.
