Leyther_Matt Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Shout out to the JPT game against Bradford, immediately post-takeover. That feeling of relief that we knew we still had a club, and how the fans just kept flooding in and having to keep opening more and more areas.

Wanderlust Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 1 hour ago, Johnnyrotten said: Coventry was a real high point for me too. A tear jerker, buzzing after it. Difficult to explain to any none Bolton fan afterwards why I was on a high given there were about 6k of us watching a 0-0 L1 game and we were on minus 11 points 😆 The support for a team of 16, 17 and 18 year olds was incredible and it felt like backs to the wall stuff for the fans as much as the players. We actually had chances to score in that game from memory. And for them, a certain Amadou Bakayoko had the ball in our net only to be ruled offside We have come so far since then.

Yes, when Politic gave us the lead it was like we'd scored in the FA Cup against United or City, felt like a David v Goliath tie but they were in a lower division to us!

Marc505 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Also a mention for the celebrations after Murphy's late winner v MK Dons. Came away genuinely believing we were in the fight to stay up. Didn't last much longer after that, we got beat 7-1 the following week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is there were some good goals, moments and players too. Daryl Murphy was about 38 but he still knew how to finish & lead the line. Politic & Verlinden had their moments amongst others, and any win felt huge upto the time we realised the fight to stay up was over. As you say the Accy game changed the feel, we went into that after 3 consecutive wins & even took the lead, but that was as good as it got.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted November 2, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2023 Another highlight of that period was Gillingham away. The issues with the team seemed to gel the support. A great day out not even spoiled by yet another 5-0 defeat. I’m fairly sure this was the game where at 7.30 on Friday evening I asked wife if she fancied going and, much to my amazement, she said yes. Whilst we went packing my lad arranged an overnight stay part way down. Packed it, booked it and fucked off. Got to Gillingham next day and bumped into @barryk32 and ended up booking the night at their hotel. Fucking mad weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter desperado Posted November 2, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Verlinden scoring after 4 mins at Rotherham was an amazing celebration - think I had a celebratory/angry/emotional tear down my face going mental at that one.

Lt. Aldo Raine Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 The eleven who started against Sunderland were genuinely a good team at the level 0-0 with us having the best of it The trouble was there was just nothing behind them Verlinden's still only 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All false dawns weren’t they, but all important parts of the journey to where we are now Yes Verlinden's goal was one of my favourite away goals I've witnessed. To take the lead, and with an outstanding goal too, was a wow moment. Looking at the line ups, their forward line was Carlton Morris (now a regular scorer for Luton) and Freddie Ladapo, they scored 4 between them. Our "strikeforce" was Crawford on his own! (nice assist though). In midfield they had Crooks (now Boro), we had Weir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 A bit of thread drift but re. Verlinden. Amazed he's just 24. Not done a great deal & now in Belgian Div.2 2017–21 Stoke City 11 (0) 2018 → St. Pauli (loan) 0 (0) 2018 → St. Pauli II (loan) 2 (0) 2019–20 → Bolton Wanderers (loan) 15 (3) 2021 Fortuna Sittard 6 (0) 2021–22 DAC Dunajská Streda 16 (1) 2022– Beerschot 38 (6) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
