Salford Trotter Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 I thought they had won it earlier against Newcastle Its the play off between the winners of the southern and northern reserves league to find the supreme champion

pike_mill_white Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 "4,000 tickets are already sold for this evening's Bolton reserve play-off final Reading FC" I'm tempted to go, I only live 15 mins away from their ground.....
Phoenix Club Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 I've not seen anywhere that this game is over 2 legs? Just wondering why it is being played at Reading and not on a neutral venue? Hardly seems fair that we have to win it at their gaff to be crowned champions.
Baba O'Riley Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 I'm tempted to go, I only live 15 mins away from their ground..... A few of the London Whites are going to give Matthew Cassidy, their sponsored Academy player, a cheer - he's just won a reserve player of the year award apparently. Meeting in the pub next to Reading Station......

Hardly seems fair that we have to win it at their gaff to be crowned champions. It's a one-off game. The neutral venue is the Mad Stad - decided before the season started. It just happens that Reading won the Southern league so it's not quite so neutral as it may have been. I shall be mobbing up with the Berkshire Massive (and associated hangers-on), and will aim to take their West Stand Lower. Keep it tight.
passmosster Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 We lost 2-0 Tonight Basically 2 inswinging corners, one in each half. The first was landing inside the 6 yard box and I think a keeper stronger on crosses than Al Habsi might have got it. We missed an easy chance in the first half and Wolfe hit one over the bar when in a good position. We might have got one back after they scored in the second when the No 15 Sheridan I think tried to dribble round the keeper when clean through. Leslie Thompson also might have scored near the end with a bit of composure. Reading were physically stronger than we were and it told, they deserved to win. There were some plusses for us. I thought the two full backs played well, Gbemie and Cassidy. And Sissons and Jamieson in midfield are good prospects. Obemeyi up front looks to have good pace, but he needs the ball in front of him or down the channels. In the first half, we seemed to think that we had Kevin Davies in the team and continued to welly it over his head. Harsanyi seems to have disappeared from view. Has he been discarded? One thing that I never understood in the Allardyce era is that we never seemed to have Resrve players who could fit in to the style of play at first team level. So if someone like Davies is injured we have no reserve who can play the holding role up front. I thought Harsanyi was good in the air from reports. All in all, a better crop of young players than I have seen for a while. Whether some can make the huge step now up to the Premiership is the question. But I suspect they will have more of a chance with Lee who I think will be better at that aspect than Allardyce.

Thought we started very well and for the first fifteen looked very sharpe. But then Reading settled down and then it was typical Bolton pumping the ball forward when the easier ball could of been played. Very impressed with the right back. Good with the ball, very quick and strong. Why he has not had a chance to replace Nicky Hunt, I dont know. Al Habsi seemed to stand on his line for both goals and very poor defending. But all in all some good little players for the future. Well done for getting this far.
Exiled Girl Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Anyone who thinks Al Habsi can take over from Jussi next season is badly mistaken. Thought Augustyn had a good game - as did our short ginger defender, whatever he's called.
