John McAtee

And I think the flip side of that is, you know, like at Sheffield United, we saw if West Ham are really on the front foot, there will be those spaces in the transitions and You know, it's kind of one of those buzzwords of modern football, isn't it? But I think in Bolton's case, it really is relevant at the minute.

You know, we saw how Thierry Gale, John McAtee, Ilyn Junior were all, you know, really kind of threatening when they had that space to run into, to play into.

And yeah, Bolton have just got to make the most of those moments, haven't they?

You say transition, I say counter-attack.

I always thought he was going to go on and be a good player and And so it proved he's certainly a championship player right now.

Rodriguez came on for John McAtee, who had had a difficult first half.

But I thought Rodriguez was one of Bolton's better players on the day.

I think he helped kind of push the game in their direction in the second half.

We're not leaving players unmarked on the edge of the box.

One the other night, John McAtee stabbing at one just round the post.

Nobody near him.

It's things like that.

Because the pressing has been good from Bolton this season.

Especially when John McAtee has been playing.

And I know Ruben Rodriguez is back fit.

And there's a new striker through the door as well.

It hurt, but at the same time I'm looking and there's chances that were wasted as well.

I feel like John McAtee wasted about three opportunities to put the ball in the back of the net.

But at the same time we, we absolutely fought our bollocks off and we created chances and we attacked and we looked the better side, but I think that game has proven couple of changes are needed in certain positions and some of our new signings will be taking front over couple who've been playing since, uh, we started the season.

About to agree.

We'll get the, get the new signings in, get them fully fit and, you know, and regimented to, to what Stewie wants to play and I think this team can, can do something.

something.18 shots on goal we ended up having.

Um, big goalkeeper performance, but you've gotta look at John McAtee.

You can run around as much as you want, but the quality is not there.

So this is for the first goal, very early on, obviously.

But as soon as McAtee wins the ball, Look at how he stood here.

He's on the front foot, ready to go immediately.

And what's even better than that, he knows to stay wide rather than coming inside and cluttering play.

And again, it's another fake movement that he does a little body feint.

This time, he fakes to go wide before cutting inside.

And he takes four defenders away from John McAtee, who really should have scored there.

And he probably should have scored later on as well.

I think this front three for them behind Sam Dalby.

John McAtee, brother of...

We don't care about Gibbs White.

Yeah, that McAtee family, James McAtee's brother, John, is in the 10 for Bolton.

By his side,

it's his arm.

I'll tell you what, they just showed one of their boys, I think it's John McAtee, whose EFL badge is coming off.

Remember like Ili's badge, Ili's Chef United badge came completely off when it was really poorly made.

Pussy before the pod.

John, is that John Fenty's front room that you're in?

It is.

It's his...

But yeah, it was lovely to see them too.

Good to see Clive back.

Him and John Oster were good.

They took their photos with the people that were up in McManamies.

I don't think so.

John says, I wouldn't be surprised, lads, if Windass and Souter sign tomorrow.

Up the blades, up the ramp.

Well, we're winning league if that happens.

Very true.

Very true.

John says, the 4-4-2 formation stopped getting played as much because the midfield gets outnumbered and you effectively surrender possession to the opposition.

That's right.
