The lack of care and quality in our shots and long passing is atrocious, bottled top 2 and playoffs last season, 3 games we needed to win last season and we fell at the first hurdle and here we are continuing to bottle the playoffs this. mass clearout needed, not just for more quality but also for mentality, because these as a collective group ain't it.

With Wrexham currently losing, Wycombe may look to take full advantage of it which may leave some space for us, but we'll need to play a lot better and Lolos has to up it 100% with his hold up and ball retention, Dempsey not playing well either.

Lolos having a mare

Collins defending at lwb/left side when our top scorer 😐

I remember us losing 1-0 to Portsmouth in Prem when we missed chance after chance and Matty Taylor literally missed from a yard, it wasn't quite on same level as our win at City 1-0 (Speed pen) but my god what a bs result we've just seen, if that was on FIFA a controller may have visited the moon via the window 🥲😁

If I could clamp down on anything in football it would be on goalies gathering the ball and dropping down on the floor just to waste time, they purposely do it, they purposely pull up their socks and wait way over 10 seconds, he made a lot of saves, but it was piss taking and it happens in every league.

Unbelievable result, almost like it was scripted for us not to score, subs made us average, we were peppering them, Etete still hasn't made up for gifting Reading 3 points and overhits that easy pass out to Tutu, very poor player.

FORRINO!

Farrino hacking balls away in to touch or back to Wigan with 0 composure and awareness, just get rid at all costs, like the ball is a bomb and will go off if he has more than 1 touch or Wigan show any kind of press on him, abysmal distribution and also positioned himself poorly for a Wigan free header. Johnstone did well when forward to get a yellow card out of a Wigan player but I really dislike how when he's in our half, he kicks it high and long just for an opponent to casually head it down to his teammate who's not being pressed and so possession gets turnedover, it's anti-football, shocking half, not a bad effort from Sheehan.

The performance overall wasn't great but there is no denying we have been well and truly been done by the ref there, that 2nd half doesn't happen if the ref was up to standard and at least reduced them to 10 men, some decisions are subjective, i get that, but when that happens after giving us nothing it just seemed like it was us v 12, why did he give Stockport the possession drop ball 1st half when we had it? if he thought Collins wasn't fouled for the penalty why no yellow for Collins for diving?? he did that quite quickly after Collins was brought down on t'other side just outside box too and he gave no foul. there goal comes form a subs mistake and then Toal commits too much and gets done but fair play to their goalscorer, obvs you'd hope Forino could get closer but the guy was running at pace and even a slight drop of shoulder or feint can get a defender to leave space, that was well taken but shouldn't have happened had they had 10 men, different game. not wanting to be salty or ought but that was quite evident the referee was appalling. we try and score goals like Morley did vs Burton, we worked it low across box for Collins start of 2nd half and he blazed over and Sheehan shot down the middle at 0-1 in a similar situation, if we do that more often we will score goals.

There is no way this referee can be allowed to ref at this level again, give him time some off or demote to non league and check him for hidden Stockport tattoos while they're at it. SHOCKING!

wish the 2nd half was more controlled like the 2nd part of the first, but the team can class that as a clean sheet as that goal 100% should have not been allowed for handball and so we didn't concede a fair goal, great strike from Sheehan, would like Southwood's distribution to be more accurate, when we are seeing the game out is kicks from hands or grounded seem to give the ball back to the opposition more often than not, if getting yardage is the priority and what is being asked of him then fair enough.

2 good chances for a CMG and Collins near end and that mad goal mouth scramble that ended up with a disallowed schon goal was enough to perhaps win it from out view, though Wrexham did miss a sitter from very close, was thinking that last minute freekick was destined for it to go in, a good point, but need more efforts on goal, Collins needed to hit it more towards corner and CMG to be more composed.

A lot of long balls from both teams, no idea why Schon didn't at least try to give it to Collins, the pass was defo on and Collins was in lots of space, very poor. we heading away a lot of things but other than set pieces we're not creating a lot, but not a bad half.

That was really well crafted from left to right with quick passes and composure from JM

Just a made up mythical thing that someone once named god and people throughout time have brainwashed their children, no one's born religious, no one knows anything, whether they use it for good or bad, is up to them, but to me they're believing in something that's just as real as Santa, tooth fairy, aliens, ghosts, etc zero proof zero god.

I'm surprised at 3-3 with Jones about to square it that Crawley's manager didn't run on pitch and shout "all together now" and they all fall down holding their heads.

Terrific comeback! so deserved for all their antics.

Way offside, Utd were god awful but Garnacho changed the game when he came on.

sorta undeserved loss really dreadful finishing from Collins and a pathetic debut cost us, it's not just the fuck up, he looks a clunky turns like a bus type. no idea what Collins was up to, he had a one on one first half but slowed down, then the ball ricochet to him with whole goal to aim at straight at keeper and at the end he chips it when he could have just been more composed instead of trying to be clever. Cogley won the ball 2nd half and put in Randall and he took the ball on the angle allowing a player to get back when if he ran straight he's have been on on one.

2nd half we dropped back quite deep, Randall as a bit of Kieran Lee, Chungy, Mark Davies in him , nice ball to Collins for 3rd

Unexpected but what a result and actually beating a team above us away 👍 Was worried by that late pressure and those two late chances for Randall but well done Bolton!

Better late than never (should have been after Oxford) but it seems a bit too late this, season isn't over of course but it's the 22nd, we still need better players, these lot have shown they are bottlers and ain't good enough to match expectations atm. Look at Utd they sack ETH and whilst they have had some good results at difficult grounds under Amorim the squad isn't good enough and are still dropping points for fun, so whilst a new manager may improve us with these players I'm not sure we can expect what we hope for. if a new manager comes in quite sharply, does he get to bring in players? would he have wanted to have kept Charles? would he have wanted Randall and Murphy?, what would winning against Cambridge and Charlton have proved to override how poor 2024 and the start of 2025 have been? just seems like this should have been done way sooner, but glad we now at least have made change, and who knows perhaps these players can perform way better with new ideas/tactics etc.
