Big big game........

 

6-6 draw.

 

George Best bangs in a hat trick in the second half after supping ten pints in the King Bill in the first half, Rodney Marsh gets given a handbag outside Nandos before notching a treble.

Bobby Moore gets the kiss of life.

 

Bolton hit back with six goals in injury time through Viv Busby and Peter Mellor own goals

 

12, 741

Relegation is now a virtual certainty IMO.

 

Cast adrift.

We are one point nearer safety - should be three

Meh, at least Scum lost.

Mark Davies my arse.

By far the better team.

Barring the 10-15 minutes after they scored and our players disappeared up their rectums.

But a stupid mistake and a daft free kick have cost us dearly.

Who give the free kick away?

Has Lennon pulled off any pieces of good management?

 

Pulled off Clough and the game changed.

 

What a farce

Relegation is now a virtual certainty IMO.

 

Cast adrift.

 

There are 3 teams in the Premier with less than 1 pt per game.

 

There are 4 teams in League One with less than 1 pt per game.

 

There are 5 teams in League Two with less than 1 pt per game.

 

There are 6 teams in the Championship with less than 1 pt per game.

 

Granted we are cast adrift in that even a win at Rotherham will still leave us bottom at mid-season, but we are far from relegated yet.

 

2 decent performances this week surely give hope to supporters and players alike.

 

It's just frustrating to drop much needed points.

 

PS Cameron Jerome one goal plus one assist at OT.

Pulled off Clough and the game changed.

 

What a farce

Thats what I thought - we missed some big chances late on as well which he would be likely to have put away

Who give the free kick away?

Heskey.

What a farce

Clough was knackered.

Only his 2nd game back after a long injury and no reserve games either.

We were still the dominant side after clough went off.

If spearing wasn't injured then taking him off was the worst substitution he has made since he has been here.

 

Once we got the 2nd we had to shut up shop, stick 5 in midfield and calm it down, we were being overrun again and again and the free kick came from that.

 

If we keep clough all season we have a chance, Mark Davies on the left works well, Wheater was very good and Holding had a cracking game.

 

But for a mistake and poor substitutions we would have won that game.

Another bloody draw will we ever win another game this season?

We were still the dominant side after clough went off.

But not knackered enough to have got into position to have scored a minute or two earlier. Madine was visibly crestfallen when Clough came off, presumably instead of him.

 

I don't really think now is the time to be bringing off young lads who are tired (although I don't agree he was).

 

And I disagree that the game changes after that. I don't remember us having a chance after that and they definitely came back into it, having not had a kick in the second half until then.

Feeney missed from 2yds out after clough went off.

The biggest miss was spearing going off.

No issue with clough going off.

Heskey.

Took one for the team giving it away they were on the break. Am I right in thinking he didn't get booked though? Terrible referee today.

 

Thought Madine was excellent, worked hard. Needed a win though.

1st half could have been 4 - 0 to them and they werent that good

 

Second half we were on the front foot for 35 minutes and played well

 

Hats off to Clough. Not sure he was worth risking an injury for another 10 mins.

 

Didnt understand the Spearing change at all.

 

Well done Rob Holding. I dont think he is a full back but he didnt let anyone down and looks like he could be a good player for us.

 

Princes fuck up was awful and that free kick shouldnt have gone in. Couldnt see if it was a mix of the wall and the goalkeeper at fault.

 

Crowd played its part.

thought Holding played great at right back..

Bar the prince fcuk up the back four were plenty good enough

 

Wheater and moxey excellent in that second half

 

Going one down changes the game

 

Madine remains our best big lump

 

Clough asked to come off

 

Spearing didnt

 

If Clough was going off, then it's dobbie on for me

 

Heskey hacks their mon down cos our central midfield is absent

 

Big difference for me?

 

I'd heard of their subs- I've heard of ours cos they're 300 years old

 

There's still a decent chance of survival but we have to be more solid and if we can keep the better players and add a proper solid midfielder I'm not without hope

 

I hate Scott Parker but somebody like him who can pass and organise

 

 

 

Ps we could've conceded 5 on another day

How many saves did Amos have to make? It wasn't exactly the alamo. Just before we scored he made a great save yes but other than that he hardly had to make a save.

They hit the bar twice for starters

Most of their good play was on the break. All teams seem to break on us and we are wide open. After their opener , they turned up but second half we had the better all round play.

 

Again we are much more productive with the ball on the floor. Our first goal showed that.

 

Too much long ball first half.

Barring the 2 goals he scored I thought clough was very average , his touch , his link up play adding to the fact he gets thrown off the ball easily . Spearing was the stand out player by a country mile

They hit the bar twice for starters

Mainly from nothing.

 

And one of those was at 2-2.

 

There's no way we should have been 5-0 down.

 

I've seen us absolutely dominated this season and today came no where near that

2 better performances in a week but draws will not keep us up. Clough has brought some energy back but he will go in January

Been consoling myself thinking "I've seen it much worse"

 

Om not now so sure...left at half time because I couldn't even be arsed moaning. They ran about a lot and at least looked like they cared but its the worst Bolton team in 30 years. The team with Trevor Morgan and Nick Spooner would give them a game.

 

Absolute gash.
