January 2, 20179 yr A few questions: What was the pen for? Did anyone play well? How did Clayton look? Did they do owt protest wise? Summat was suggested for the 75th minute Please, please tell me nobody in the away end booed them off at the end? Thanks Shitfan Pulling madines shirt Poss spearing gets a played well based on second half Clayton looked OK, but the goal was very cool Nowt much other than the fcuking whistle And I didn't hear anybody boo them off but if Clayton hits the post it would've been Rochdale esque
January 2, 20179 yr Just seen the goals, class finish from Clayton. I honestly believe he's a very good player and as long as we ease him back in, he will be a real asset at the business end of the season
January 2, 20179 yr Great turnout today @ 1750 in an 8500 crowd They announced 10k plus in the ground, didnt think it sounded right. That first half was as poor ive seen this season. Glad we escaped with a point. Two injury time celebrations in 3 days, great stuff
January 2, 20179 yr Just watched the highlights on Sky. The run by the ginger guy for their second was bloody amazing. The Bolton midfield then defence seemed to just let him run. The guy at the side of me kept shouting "Don't tackle. Don't jump in. Don't foul" I was shouting "Hit the ginger fucker!" I reckon a foul early on in the run would have won us the game. Or even a fucking tackle.
January 2, 20179 yr Pleased for Clayton took his goal well and hopefully a kick up the arse for Clough starting on the bench. Let's hope the 2 injury time goals this week get us over the line in April.
January 2, 20179 yr There's some angry, angry men that follow us. Not sure if the fella behind me could have been more angry if he came home to find his missus getting pumped by his best mate. Uncalled for fury from the man! I've got shredded shins
January 2, 20179 yr 4 hour bastard of a journey down, would probably have been quicker staying on the motorway, but got there just on time, had to sacrifice my Harry Ramsden dinner at Corley sevices though. Slipped on ice on the way in and dislocated my ankle, but snapped back(proper sore now) First half was bobbins, but the booing of Trotter was embarrassing. Derik should not play full back again. Spearing was immense in the second half but we still huffed and puffed. Ameobi was our best outlet but gave away some vital possession a couple of times. Great celebrations at the end (strangers hugging each other and all that malarkey) Team was cheered off. Balti Pie at half time was good, and I like that ground too. Said I'd take a point from today so not too unhappy. We need to keep Sammi though.
January 2, 20179 yr i was angry today , we were shit again, if we want to go up you have to beat the teams at the bottom of the league, they are there for a reason , not make them look like they are the league leaders.
January 2, 20179 yr Also ameobi can fuck off luxury can do with out tbh For someone with such ability you'd like to see a bit more end product. Then he'd be playing at a higher level I suppose.
January 2, 20179 yr Amoeba was piss poor today but he wasn't on his own. I think they try to play down to the level of the opposition. Well they bloody managed it today.
January 2, 20179 yr Great turnout today @ 1750 in an 8500 crowd Looked more than that, was that not how many tickets we had sold. There were loads paying on the day when I went in
January 2, 20179 yr Don't tell me they were selling balti pies, it just said chicken on the menu so got a steak one instead that was bobbins for the £4 it cost! Decent chippy opposite the Longford Engine pub where we parked. Interesting walk back down the canal in the dark but back on the M6 within 2 minutes and back in Leigh a little over 90 minutes later. The more I think of it, the more it puzzles me that we persisted with trying to knock the ball about on that pitch, clearly Wasps aren't arsed about it so it was bumpy as fuck, little wonder they were so many dodgy first touches. Little coincidence that the penalty came from a high ball forward and the second goal from a ball in to the box. Would have been carnage had Madine finished that chance near the end which was preceded by a top drawer first touch to be fair. Happy with a point in the circumstances but we've eventually got to get an away win against one of the lower teams.
January 2, 20179 yr Had high expectations today until I saw the team sheet; I realise that he is perversely one of our high earners but Trotter is a disgrace to his profession. But I don't blame him, he's going to play if picked. I will not boo a bolton player but I get why they did. Only spearing was above average. The sooner PP realises that can. Taylor and Trotter are nowhere near good enough, the better. Point stolen, in my opinion. Drop Trotter please. He's way short of all skills to be a third tier footballer.
January 2, 20179 yr Looked more than that, was that not how many tickets we had sold. There were loads paying on the day when I went inI was quoting my lad but double checked the stats and i stand corrected10,339 (1,721 away)...still a great turnout
January 2, 20179 yr Says 8397 on sky sports report!I checked this report...i give uphttps://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-city-2-bolton-wanderers-12395456.amp?client=ms-android-samsung
January 2, 20179 yr I think we'll really miss Ameobi. He's one of the players in our team who can do something out of the ordinary. Personally I hope we can keep hold of him till the end of the season.

Yes he can come up with something special like the recent games, but it also means the rest of the team don't have a clue what he's going to do next.

Can't knock him for defensive discipline, but not sure he knows what he's going to do with the ball half the time.
