Good result.
He's slowly getting rid of the kamikaze defending.
Last five games, goals conceded 1,1,1,1,0.
Now we just need a few more at the other end.
Mark Davies, Stuart Holden, Josh Vela, David Wheater coming back.
Time for moderated optimism.

Does anybody have copies of two games from 1998 - us beating Bury 4-0 at the Reebok and us drawing 1-1 at United on the day of the Munich anniversary? Be very interested in copies of those and would pay.
Also interested in Bolton 3 Blackburn 1 from 99/2000 season, Burnley 0 Bolton 2, Preston 0 Bolton 2 and Bolton 2 Preston 0 from 2000/01.

Those who can remember the 70s have promotion at Blackburn in 78 and the away leg of the League Cup Semi Final v Everton in 77 up there as the best away days.

Jimmy Goodinson from Roadrunner video still has all his collection of games from February 1988 through to May 1995. I've got Jimmy's phone numbers if anybody wants to get in touch with him. He also has the first game of 85/86 season (Bolton 1 Rotherham 1) with Simon Marland commentating. They did it because it was the 90th or 100th anniversary of Burnden or something.
I've got loads of the original videos done by Roadrunner's predecessors having bought them from the guy that did the. These started in January 1986 and went through to January 1988. First few are with no commentary then Dave Higson gets involved.
There's some good stuff there but also the really grim slide relegation to Div 4 and games featuring a big hole appearing on the Embankment while they starting to build Normid.

for me all that's left for this season now is making sure we stay up with a degree of comfort/no late season scares.
that and beating burnley, blackburn and blackpool at home.

Was on the Lever End as a five year old for the Chelsea and Wolves games in 76/7. Clearly remember the carnage of the Lever End v Chelsea. Got knocked over in the middle of it all. My Dad caught the Chelsea fan who did it and thumped him. He was on the point of being arrested but a more senior copper came along and said to leave him because he'd seen what had happened, but then gave my Dad a right bollocking and told him they'd got enough on their plate without the likes of him getting involved. We ended up in the Manny Road stand having been escorted out along the running track.
I remember the Wolves trouble on the last day of 76/7 but not in as much detail.
By 77/78 we were in the Manny Road Stand up near the Embankment with a season ticket each. Don't remember much trouble from that season but the Leeds match in 78/9 after we'd been promoted I remember as clear as day. Housebricks showering from the Leeds fans on the Embankment to the Paddock ... and back! Like a scene from Beiruit. Bolton won 3-1 but Leeds went 0-1 up in the first half and I remember the wild celebrations of their fans in the Embankment (they had to open up the middle section because there were so many of them).
A lot of talk about United in 74/5. Don't remember that. I do remember 79/80 (lost 1-3) with loads of filth in the Manny Road North Terrace singing "Hark now hear, United sing, the Bolton ran away" all through the game. Bolton fans in the stand got some threats for celebrating when Neil Whatmore scored our only goal.
Remember all the Chelsea episodes in the early 80s and one not many seem to mention .... West Ham in 80/81. Just remember a huge battle starting out of nowhere on the Manny Road North terrace, seemed to go on for ever, blood spilt, no quarter given. The coppers were very, very slow to react. When they got there it all seemed to stop as suddenly as it had started.

I'm pretty pleased with Freedman so far too.
Just hope his actions match his words.... because that was the trouble with the last regime.
-
Fucking hell.
I blame Harriet Harperson.
-
We've always had trouble with Barnsley. Incredible amount of draws over the years in this fixture. We did the double over them in the last season we played them (Sam's promotion season of 2000/01), but before them I think we'd beaten them once in about a dozen games.
Think we'll struggle but come out 2-1 winners.
-
Its about time we did these tinpot tossers but as usual they'll be up for it like no other game they play.
Lets have a day like Wigan and Blackburn away last season ..... not like Burnley away this season.

Phil Neal - December 85: Bolton 2 Doncaster 0. Cross (2). Doncaster had a player manager called Dave Cusack. Neal went over to him to say hello before the match and Cusack spat at him and told him to f*ck off.
John McGovern - Burnley 0 Bolton 0: first day of season in 82/3, quite a bit of bother on a baking hot day at Turf Moor.
-
Happy with this. I am guessing that a passive backroom staff was one of the reasons Coyle just kept making the same mistakes over and over again.
That afternoon at The Valley. Am I right in thinking Ian Moores' goal was well in to the second half? All the more implausible that we then managed to lose 4-1!
-
Agree with all that is said about the drawbacks to Holloway's "cautions to the winds" approach.
However, I'm still glad to see him leaving Blackpool. He's done a good job for them and I harbour a dislike for them over and above many other local rivals.
-
Central defenders not good enough.
Not enough bite in central midfield
No natural poacher among the strikers
All despite having what is still a huge wage bill.
Its a team with quality players but a total lack of balance.
We need to stop conceding two goals every game, end of story.

I was way too young ( not to mention soft) to get involved in any of the stuff in the 80s but I remember the Freight Rover at Wembley v Bristol City in 1986 when it was going off most of the day. Then, as others have said, there was a late season game in 89/90 with Bristol City chasing promotion when they brought thousands and there was all kinds of trouble. Have a vague memory of Mark Gavin playing for Bristol that day and somebody lobbing something at him from the Burnden Paddock.
Saw all the stuff inside the ground but headed off in completely the opposite direction to Scotts etc afterwards.

Northampton away, last day of 88/89, 2-0 down at half time and won 2-3. Next match was Sherpa Van Trophy Final v Torquay.
-
Aye he didn't finish the season - injured at home to Swansea? he still got 25 league goals through the 92/93 campaign though.
Was totally gutted when that happened. That defeat at Bradford shortly after didn't settle the nerves. That's when the five match winning run leading up to Preston happened. So many late season nightmares in the 80s ... right up until the last minute against PNE at Burnden I was still fearing the worst!
-
no rush lets take our time this time its only bristol at home we should piss that
Like we pissed Palace and Leeds
-
Agree mate, its irrelevent. Some completely ruled him out as he was a DMB from bolton, even though it turns out hes a Bolton fan.
If we can't get Mick McCarthy, the one I've voted for, Keith Hill would be my next choice. Seems to tick many boxes, performed miracles at Rochdale. Suspect having paid out Coyle's compo we've not much money in the bank to prise him away from Barnsley.

October 17, 1992: Super-John scored his first goal for Bolton.
It was in the third tier in Bruce Rioch's first season in charge.
We'd had a crap start to the season, very similar to the one we're currently suffering in 2012/13.
Half time in a match at the Deva Stadium, Chester 2 Bolton 0.
Then, out of nowhere, a comeback, with McGinlay scoring the equaliser (Reeves got the first).
He added a further 15 goals in the league that season. Bolton lost just four of their remaining 34 league games and 10 years in the lower divisions ended with John's penatly at home to Preston on the final day.
Fantastic memories.

All five of them piss United fans off because they've only won three.

I'm in.

First thing we need to do is string a decent set of results together before we even get to the ones mentioned in later October and November.
If we do so, then we give ourselves the platform to make results from those later games season defining. If we don't we'll be ensconced in lower mid table and low on confidence.
-
I'm one of those old school Bolton fans who retains a dislike of anything to do with Blackpool and Bloomfield Road.
Hope Huddersfield win tonight. Hope we hammer them in November, perhaps with a returning Stuart Holden to help out.
Looking Back...

Yep. It was a turning point that season as well. From there on we got better and stayed up..... assisted by Florent Laville signing on loan at the end of January.
