doesn't work hard enough when we dont have the ball, unlike Lambert who is out of form but continues to run to space, cover others etc

Seriously the way Lambert has been playing he should've been dropped before Bolton.
I reckon the reason Bolton was dropped he dosent play team first.
He always tries to do too much and ends up screwing it up.

As said - maybe resetting in case Shank does not go into the hub.... Good replacement for him i reckon.

I reckon if the club is eyeing a player from another club, Bolton might be the one used to get the deal down.

Just needs to eliminate those few extra seconds where he’s trying to engineer something.

He’s trying to be Shane Edwards, but he’s doing it the wrong way. Shane’s at his most magical when he’s taking the first option before it even exists. Shane plays quantum footy, his handballs would flummox Schrodinger himself as they materialise from a state of existential flux directly in the path of a running teammate.

Shai tries to make things happen by ducking, weaving and sidestepping. That’s run of the mill physics. Predictable.

He looks so much better when he doesn’t try to force it.

I have no idea why he was dropped. Has been one of our better players this season, which I admit is not saying a lot
