Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 17, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted March 17, 2018 Buckley looking more assured, not sure he's as fit as he can be though like the rest he worked his nads off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marple whites Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 What a performance. Weather was a good leveller, but to a man, they all played a massive part. Results largely went our way. Over the moon tonight. Got a bit tired if them trying to con the ref, always on the floor, particularly grealish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Can only imagine how much Birmingham will have been buzzing with their win....and then how crushing to see us win. Or maybe they’ve written off hope of catching us and we’ve got nowt to worry about?! we said that, they thrashed hull and thought bolton will get beat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wanderer Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 My take on it was big well done to the steward who gave him a dig Poor chap then got kicked out I missed what started it, the steward who got kicked out is a really nice lad. Old bill should have been in sorting that out, I thought it was gonna really go off at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWFC_LOVE Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Another post to praise Henry. Don’t think we’d won before he came in. It was plain to see after about three games this season that we missed some bite in midfield without Spearing, and I was puzzled as to why we let that one go (wage demands etc. aside), then went for Henry, who I just saw as an old clogger. Always willing to give players a chance though, and I decided Henry was the better player all round after his first game. Nothing wrong with Buckley at all for me. Then again some of our fans still haven’t taken to Pratley. As has been said about Buckley, fans make their mind up and that’s it. ALF, Alnwick, Ameobi and Burke all excellent, Taylor, Flanagan, Derik, Vela decent too. Nothing much wrong with Beevers either, just not totally convinced about him if we're going to move forward at this level. If Beevers was right footed, Wheater would be in there ahead of him IMO. Robinson is a great option off the bench when we’re holding on to the lead too. Will get up and down, and can carry it forward to relieve pressure. Echoing Casino’s comments about love of this team as well. So reminiscent of an Allardyce Bolton side, with every player fighting for the cause and willing to grind out everything for a 1-0 win. The pure elation I’ve felt at the final whistle for both the Sunderland & Villa games lately has confirmed I want it as much as the players too. Which is what it’s all about. Can’t even comprehend being an armchair glory supporter and not going through those motions. It’s just not football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Anyone criticising any of our players today can seriously fuc5 off. Same about the manager. Where are the deluded pricks saying he can only play one way ? There are a few on here who need to hold their hands up and admit they were wrong. We have a team that is more than the sum of its parts to see players putting in as much as this lot are doing is brilliant. Every one of their team would be better rated than their equivalent in ours but not sure I would swap any of them. Due to weather and what turned out to be anearly 3 hour drive home I nearly fucked it off today. So glad I did not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizlar Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Great team performance everyone played for the shirt and well done Parky and his staff. Typical winging Villa expecting us to lie down and let them win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules_darby Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Alnwick was brilliant. Henry ran the show. Villa liked a whinge. Buckley was possibly the only negative. Didn't enjoy watching on the sofa rather than being there. Was Buckley’s only good game for us Battlers indeed Shit game, great result. Bolton doing what we do best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted March 17, 2018 Moderators Share Posted March 17, 2018 Good ground out win that Villa had some decent chances which they squandered or we defended brilliantly, bit never felt we were under the cosh or owt For as well as Buckley broke forward at every opportunity when he got to the final 3rd he didn't seem to know what to do, he wasn't shit but he wasn't great, he just kept letting himself down Highlight was the steward having a crack at their fan who was being carted out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't get over folk leaving on 80 minutes today either to beat the traffic or watch from under the stand. An exciting game, finely balanced and our support was needed more than ever.

Members bolty58 Posted March 18, 2018 Members Share Posted March 18, 2018 Expected the result but not that weather! Just the kind of performance I thought we'd put in. We always raise our game for the bigger clubs. Onwards and upwards and to all those who said we'd get smashed, FFS - KTF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
