No, we’re having an incredible season. I still can’t let go of the club we’ve been for so long though. If we did do a Cov after that it would kill me.

I refuse to believe we'll win promotion until we do! Only recently started hoping, buit belief is a step too far.

Still think we'll fade to ninth(!)

We do need a better striker than the ones we have. However to still be up there without that luxury shows how good the squad is overall. I think the mentality of the squad wins us games which is a good thing. We don’t give up

Yes, 100%

He’s pissed off as he had his post match autopsy all ready to go.

At least you’ve got your daily 500 sanctimonious, fingers in the ears “I am better than everyone else” posts in though. Top work.

What is the value in ignoring obvious issues?

It’s great. I have a couple of them on block and particularly in situations like today when hysteria would begin, it’s priceless

 

[Gibbo]

At last a scrappy goal. Jut when we needed it

 

[M&B Stand]

Guys imagine we get promoted and alot of u spent season moaning

Such a waste?

Mate, there’s already people on here moaning about how badly we’d do if we go up!

 

[glasgowfan]

Bolton have the worst away record in the country

Yes, they drew at Sunderland, lost 1-0 at Peterborough. Today's game was not out of character

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

you couldn’t wait to give it the old “I knew it all along” bullshit, just like every other week when we don’t put 3 past everyone.

Yeah absolutely. I got a lot of shit for throwing my toys out of the pram on Tuesday and today's abject performance emphasised my points entirely.

We won and I'm over the moon about that, but it was ugly and pointing out that it wasn't really good enough is a perfectly reasonable statement to make.

You can get off your high horse.

Actually it was good enough.

You get given 3 points for scoring more goals than the other team, not depending on whether some moaning, perpetually negative bloke thinks it was “good enough”

Now I know I’m shit atmaths but it definitely looks like there’s more than one high horse here

To expect us to win comfortably every week playing free flowing football is ridiculous.
Results like today are the ones that get you somewhere

Play poorly, score a late winner, move on

I think playing 120 minutes v Bham did not help us v Bolton at all. We looked a bit lethargic in places.

We gave Bolton far too many chances down that O’Grady channel, Rose and Dabo struggling to cope with him.

3 points is 3 points and onto Portsmouth on Tuesday!

Relwgation squad without o hare walsh abd hiwulla though some said

Cant agree we would be relegated without them personally. Not win league sure. But relegation?!

Don’t disagree, but Birmingham were in same boat and they looked outstanding last night in their away win to high flying Bristol city

O'Gradyis my new panto villian. Hope he dies the cheating fat arsed c**t

Jeez I bet you’re fun at parties

More fun than today brah

lol lol lol

 

[larry_david]

Massive 3 points. Now everyone to bed until Tuesday morning fully recovered

 

[Evo1883]

I think if we put 2 up today it would have stopped their full backs getting forward so much and would have kept their holding midfielder back too.

And some call me the pessimist

 

[steve cooper]

Just looking back on Bolton's recent games, I see Portsmouth managed a 1-0 win against them last month, Peterborough beat them 1-0 in December (Peterborough were at home). Sunderland (who were also at home), failed to beat them, as did Bristol Rovers

 

[robbiethemole]

3 points for a win, none extra for looking good or playing nice footy or dodgy defending, just for winning. fucking deal with the fact we won't blow everyone 3 or 4-0 but the record shows a win

 

[Hobo]

People underestimate the effect Tuesday had.
Look at Oxford today, battered.
Great 3 points, pusb!

Spot on.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

And some call me the pessimist

That’s not pessimism- perhaps a touch psychotic

 

[Grendel]

King Midas in Reverse strikes again! Keep up the good work you miserable twat.

Hows Andy Thorn and Bigi doing?

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Spot on.

And yet everyone is ignoring this because they want to focus on how shit we are

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

No discussion of the game allowed! Complementary posts only!

This was the kind of party where the people are boring & the atmosphere is crap but you get laid at the end.

 

[Evo1883]

We definitely looked tired which is why I was fuming he hadn't used all 3 subs... But we won so fuck it

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

That’s not pessimism- perhaps a touch psychotic

If we ignore performances then when results go south we’ll have no idea why. Why on Earth this equates to wanting the side to fail, I don’t know.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Yes, now the 3 points are in the bag it's all that matters. What's the point in having a forum though? A match thread? All I've done is point out we had an off day despite it, I've not called for the manager to be sacked or suggested we're getting relegated.

You're just chasing people around this thread criticising anyone who has some concerns about how the team played. It's quite ridiculous and you need to chill out.
