But we're not 3rd because of goals scored it's because of goals conceded. Look at the goals against column compared to Portsmouth and Derby. Take just the Wigan and Derby games - if you can't win those then don't lose them and they were 2 really soft goals to concede. There has been so many examples this season with Shrewsbury another.

Not going back over all the posts but that game was lost (i.e. not won) early doors and we simply started poorly. Santos especially in the first 10 to 15 minutes was poor. So we're 1-0 down and after that Santos is back to his best and as sums up our season we didn't convert our chances. We also didn't create enough so I don't blame Bod at all. The season defining moments weren't today but for example Carlisle at home and the Wigan and Derby games where if you don't score you don't concede soft goals and at least come away with a point. Who you blame for the above I'll leave to others to debate but for me it's poor coaching.

It's one of the things I would criticise Evatt for - people having good games and then getting benched. Collins hat trick and Bod scoring 2 could see one or both being benched against Bristol, it's what he does. We're also in danger of making Dion better the longer he is out. It won't be the second coming of the messiah and his form prior to injury as we all know was poor. For once barring injuries let's stick to the same team for Bristol.

Great win and for the most part great to see us playing with more tempo and getting the ball forward quicker. Collins goal of the season?

The Bolton Bottlers take a few small steps to lose that tag - 2-0 to the Whites

As Tomski said we’re much better when we don’t play

So last week wasn't the cup final they thought it was with those ott celebrations 🤣

Just watched the EFL highlights of the game and it was mentioned that Paul Warne has got promotion out of this league every full season he has managed (3 times I believe). That's some record.

Apart from the odd exceptional game, we don't shoot enough, we don't get enough quality balls into the box and we don't work their keeper enough despite always having the majority possession. Also our corners are shite. Those are the stark facts and the reasons we are where we are. We needed to score at least 2 today to win that game as we always have a lapse in us and did we honestly look like scoring 2?

We're not catching Portsmouth and Warne will have enough nouse to keep Derby getting results, it's what he does. The only thing I would say for the play offs is we are overdue some luck.

With Portsmouth winning at the moment not looking good at all for top 2. Really could do with a late equaliser

As others have said the best 90 minutes of the season. Players of the match Bod, Collins , Sheehan and Bangaverage

Was Bod having a go at Evatt at the end there after the whistle? May explain a lot

I’m going to say it again we may accidentally found our best side and that includes Bangaverage 😂😂

Great half we may accidentally have found our best side
