I’ve criticised the guy enough, so it is only fair I pay credit when it is due. Allardyce set up 4-5-1 but with a wonderfully fluid personnel which, at times, made us look like a Championship version of Barcelona. Kidding. But you know what I mean. Total football it …

It’s the nightmare scenario. Bolton host Swansea and travel to struggling Aston Villa in midweek.
