Norwich City-owned Yanic Wildschut is currently on loan at Bolton Wanderers.

Some Bolton Wanderers supporters have taken to Twitter to criticise Norwich City-owned Yanic Wildschut following a succession of poor performances.

The 26-year-old joined the Trotters in the summer on a season-long loan deal after he failed to make an impression at Norwich, who he signed for in January 2017.

Bolton manager Phil Parkinson admitted Wildschut was disappointing in the recent 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, telling reporters for Bolton News how he gave the ball away far too often.

Taking to social media site Twitter, it appears several Bolton fans agree with their manager’s assessment.

Here is a pick of some of the best comments:

Wildschut joined Norwich for a reported £7 million fee last year (BBC), but he has rarely displayed the sort of top-end Championship quality that comes with such a hefty fee.

Capable of playing on either wing, Wildschut has made just three starts for Bolton this term, with his best performance coming way back in August in the 1-0 win over Reading at the Madejski Stadium.

Bolton fans seemingly expected more from their wide man, but a lack of consistency and quality when it matters has seen him pushed out of the first-team picture and facing an uphill task to get back in.

Wildschut’s contract with the Canaries expires next summer, so he is under pressure to make an impact at Bolton if he harbours hopes of earning another deal at Championship level.
