50 Shades Of Graham ✘

@henrywinter Should we not consider a 4-2-3-1 with Bellingham in the two, alongside Rice/Anderson, or both Bells and Morgan in a 4–1-4-1, depending on the opposition? Not sure why it’s one or the other. Even in a 4-3-3 we could have both either side of Rice/Ands. Neither is lazy imho

England 1 New Zealand 0. Report from Raymond James Stadium, Tampa. We learned exactly what? That Harry Kane is vital. Marcus Rashford is in the mood and in form (they go together). Elliot Anderson is class. Rio Ngumoha lovely on his debut - on the right (wrong) flank. And that Jude Bellingham has to start. When Bellingham got off the coach, he was loudly cheered by 400+ England fans waiting. Only Kane got close to such a reception. When Bellingham ran out for the second half, and his name was announced, England fans amongst the 25,889 crowd again cheered loudly. Bellingham is appreciated because he makes things happen. Thomas Tuchel has mainly favoured Morgan Rogers at 10. Tuchel sees Bellingham in training, can assess the blends of players and personalities, and what suits the team best. So it was good that Tuchel handed the armband to Bellingham when Kane went off at the break. It shows that England’s head coach does trust Bellingham, that the 22-year-old – still only 22 – can embrace the responsibility. This was his 47th cap, he’s heading into his fourth tournament with England, Bellingham deserves Tuchel’s belief.  Bellingham has to start for England. At 10. Coming on at the break, he immediately made a difference to the pace and focus of England's movement in the final third. Such clever movement, gliding stealthily into space. His touch and awareness of team-mates' positions allows him to pick them out first time. England will need that speed of ball progression. Offers a goal threat, raiding the box or shooting, first one blocked, second one wide. His footwork and awareness around the box was again impressive, and Kane will surely benefit from being in tandem with Bellingham. Elite operators. For England to progress far at the World Cup, Bellingham has to start. #ENG #ENGNZ

@nw_nicholas @RestoreBolton Must admit, when someone says ‘I finally managed to erect my flagpole last night’ I very rarely look at the picture

@RestoreBolton Congratulations. It looks ridiculous

Managed to erect my flagpole last night. My next door neighbour is most displeased, I knew he would be. Glorious.

Well we try to record on Mondays. We have had Mickey H on already and Robbo is lined up, so Terry Brown or both the Dobbos maybe ?

@HaydontheWomble Not entirely sure what was spent in January but I believe CC said we had some in the kitty rolled over for this summer, which is nice :)

@MisterGLS Amazing amount how much of that went on last season and how much is going towards next season? Be amazing to get to 100k. Well done everyone for all your hard work 💛💙

Today’s match is another reminder of what can be achieved when the best fans in the world come together. With the help of events like this, WAWF has now raised around £80,000 towards the First Team playing budget this year – something everyone involved should be hugely proud of.
