I was only a few miles out! Certainly not one I’ll be losing any sleep over missing.

At least Evatt was already in management at that point

Flat out refuse to believe that

Christie was excellent against Peterborough. Less so yesterday, but no better or worse than the rest of them. Tutu is an absolute car crash at RB. Would very much agree that we missed Cogley’s energy, though.

I can’t go, so I’m very much hoping for Barnsley at home.

There’s no way on earth that Cissoko should be anywhere near our strongest 11. Which, to me, suggests SS is falling in to the familiar trap of filling shirts within a system rather than trying to figure out which systems fits the best players. That said, we’ve set our stall out on everything going through ACD so that looks like we’re sticking with wingers or we’ll end up with a repeat of the Afolayan situation.

Didn’t give them chance to find out, I joined the queue to get out after the third went in.

Just got back. I don’t think anything is off the table right now because that was genuinely one of the worst of the last decade, and there’s some competition in that regard I know there will be plenty of accusations of overreactions, but if you can’t overreact after losing 3-0 at Burton Albion then when can you?

And that’s 3 in the most embarrassing manner possible

Johnston done well to clear off the line, but the ease they created it just sums it up

Atrocious.

Proper poor, this. Hard to find anyone with any pass marks whatsoever so far. And yet it could have been entirely different had Dalby taken one or more of those two chances early on. Burton are well organised but that really isn’t a shock given how many times we’ve played Bowyer teams over the years. They really shouldn’t be passing it round us with such ease though.

I suspect the old logo might have been on training gear, but not the actual shirts The yellow one from 93/94 is an absolute unicorn. Never actually went on sale so very few in circulation. And the only shirt I’m missing from the 90s!

I don’t see how it would be in the EFL’s jurisdiction to issue a fine. What would be more likely is Bolton Council warning for areas to be closed, but I expect there is a decent enough relationship to avoid that.

I would love it, but I think the big chance was missed the other year when they stayed up on the last day.

Based on no intel whatsoever, I would suspect that the council will have been in the club’s ear that persistent standing in an upper tier is something they can’t necessarily turn a blind eye like they do in the lower. It is of course ignoring the fact that it is entirely of their own creation given that ESU never had any groups of standing fans until they cleared the corner of WSL and stopped folk buying in crazy corner. I’m on the back row of NSL and on my left it only tends to be the back row that stands up, but on my right it’s always the back two or three rows throughout the game. There’s a cluster in the easterly corner too which is where the songs tend to start from.

Duberry. Always Chases Back

Funny how folk see things differently. I don’t think any of the subs were particularly good (Toal gets a pass because it was better than sticking Simons at RB) Good job we have the extra subs these days given out of all the wingers and full backs, only ACD seems capable of playing a full 90 minutes.

Yeah

Started like a house on fire and the two goals from Burstow were real marks of quality. All got a bit sloppy from there and made it unnecessarily nervy at times. Not sure why we kept playing in to Burstow’s feet and then tried putting it in the channels for Dalby. Main thing is the three points and hopefully put a run together now.

Think we had a game in recent times where the forecast was similarly gusty. It had surprisingly little effect at pitch level, despite the stands being the windiest place on earth at the best of times.

The Stevenage one is a proper pain in the arse as we’ve got hotels booked either in Stevenage or Llandudno depending on which way it goes. If the game goes ahead then we’ve also got gig tickets to get rid of in Llandudno!

Yeah you’d have to imagine it’s all confirmed now with a week to go for Burton. Ridiculous situation, really, but as mentioned it’s elsewhere it’s pretty much unique to only League One.

Sorrento was lovely, albeit full of Yanks and outrageously expensive. And the insects do not fuck about.

That’s genuine good reason to just bin the whole thing off altogether
