Bolton manager criticizes mentally fragile squad after defeat to Rotherham

Bolton Wanderers manager Ian Evatt expressed frustration after his team lost 3-1 to Rotherham, leaving them mid-table in League One. He criticized his players for lacking fight and responsibility, stating that their mindset is "mentally fragile." Evatt's comments followed chants from fans calling for his dismissal. He acknowledged his own accountability but emphasized that players must also reflect on their performance. He noted that poor goal concessions are a collective issue, not solely the fault of the defense. With only two wins in their last seven matches, Evatt faces mounting pressure ahead of their next game in the Virtu Trophy. He remains uncertain about his players' ability to respond positively to the recent setbacks.
