Right forget the Liverpool game who's in for this? Shame it's come just before the cup game as this has been a top away game for the last couple of seasons.

Worth a read, brought a chuckle

Highlights include

 

"You don't sit 9th in the league playing hoofball, plus I'd rather play hoofball then be in their position - they're a poor side today that got a bonus goal, and they would have got a point if we'd kept out own team together for 90 minutes.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see them relegated the following season, they're over extended grace in the top flight won't return for a long long long time."

Fuck em the yarkshire puddings

Great win. Pratley was MOM by a country mile.

 

Vela good in flashes but when were under pressure gave ball away in really bad places.

 

They had lots of ball in second half but we had very good chances to close game out.

 

As mentioned I have no idea why NL did not use subs, but we won so maybe he was right.

Vela is a legend, great performance. Top win and good day out. Andy lonergans fingertips in the last minute too, great save

Good day out. Ace being a wanderer again.

Nice to see MG also. Been a while

Glad you made it!

Glad you made it!

 

appreciate that mate,

 

what are your thoughts on swerving?

 

kicking yourself? it looked nice and cosy in the car anyway!!

Went to watch the Colls, fucking freezing there too.

Just because you're allowed to use subs doesn't mean you should do.

 

We were leading (albeit under pressure) so the onus was on Weds to change the game.

 

Conditions were unpleasant and any sub coming on (except at half time) would have far more difficulty than usual getting into the game as warming up was hardly feasible.

 

Just suppose 3 subs had been used and then Lonergan got injured with 5 minutes, plus the added 28, remaining. We would have had a class GK sitting in the dugout and Wheater (or some such) in goal while the home team pressed.

He hasn't used subs much in any of his games so far, which is why Spearing sees more of his wife and kids on a Saturday home game by waving to them in the hospitality box.

Did you go today ? Heskey and Cravies looked dead on their feet, the ball was constantly coming back, we had short period when we could have scored but they were all over us.

 

As I said I could not believe we did not use a sub, conditions were difficult and sapping energy. For me it was crying out for fresh legs, as I also said NL did not and we won so maybe he was right.

 

How you have turned that into a monologue about bringing all three subs is bizarre, as is the idea that bringing subs on can not help the team.

Heskey took a knock before the hour mark and could barely move after that! I wonder what kind of point NL was making and to who..

 

Great win though, creating plenty of chances in games now - got to hand it the man who inherited a pretty boring team from DF.

 

Vela was exciting in midfield. Bit more experience and there's a real player there

There's only one Darren Pratini.

Just home & it must have been a great game for a neutral but we should have been out of sight in the first half....but 2nd half we nearly threw it away.  C Davies should have finished it with his free header but after that it got a bit scary...well done Lonergan.

 

Big plus for the team's discipline....Sheffield were diving in with some daft challenges, play acting & squealing to the referee,

 

Another plus to the sensible stewarding.....the 1st time I can remember a ground having unreserved seating with the stewards allowing the back 15ish rows to stand up without any problem....it made for a better atmosphere & let the people who wanted to sit down, sit down at the front .

 

Hurrah.

Stewards all seemed handy

 

Looked like doormen, suppose they don't give a fuck who stands up. Your right though they generally kept to themselves. A lad in front of me sneaked his beer up and they quietly asked him to go down stairs and finish it.

 

You would get the firing squad at our place for that.

A lad I know was kicked out at huddersfield for that. To be honast I didn't have much sympathy it's not like it's a new rule.

How many Bolton travelled?

Just under 1200

Just under 1200

Didn't seem that many. Notbad though

 

Reckon we'd have taken 5-600 more of it wasn't for Liverpool

Bolton

The offside decision for their equaliser is dreadful

Highlights start around 37:20

Great photo.
