Dougie Freedman sticks by starting XI choices

After 35 minutes on Saturday, Bolton Wanderers discovered themselves 2-0 down in a must-win match in the home to Blackpool. The starting lineup that Dougie Freedman put out raised issues from the supporters since the three changes, some essential, the others not, were not what was expected. Bob Ream began the match in front of David Wheater following Craig Dawson's go back to West Bromwich Albion. Wheater had just played short change minutes following a reunite from the leg injury while Tim Ream had become ever-present on the table and had started several straight suits before Dawson's arrival. Robert Hall was presented for Josh Vela and played on the side, moving Chris Eagles into the middle, just behind Craig Davies, the main striker. Davies was there instead of Marvin Sordell, who had started the Cardiff City fit. Sordell have been largely ineffective against Cardiff however not all of that was his own as help going forward was lacking to express the least doing. It'd become increasingly clear that the eleven men on the pitch were not working well together and Dougie Freedman confessed his error, two minutes after their second goal was scored by Blackpool. On the 37 minute level, Freedman introduced Sordell, taking out Rob Hall, and changing the overall game. The drive was suddenly found by wanderers and in first-half additional time, Chris Eagles and Craig Davies obtained to level things. Talking to the Bolton News following the match, Dougie Freedman elaborated on the selection changes: and caught by his starting alternatives "They controlled midfield and of late, specially in the home, if we will get two inside and our front four on the ball a bit faster then maybe we could harm them," he said. "But it backfired on us. Some individuals can't work on information which means you have to make it more simple change it and perhaps. "It was a difficult day but we continued going for the win. We named them right back which was credit to us after being 2-0 down. We're able to easily have quit. But we were got by our spirit back the overall game and we had a few odds. "Then you receive the news from one other end which is hard to take." Bolton Wanderers would eventually lose out on the play-offs as a result of a goal from Anthony Knockaert (into an web) on goal difference alone.
