    They looked the best team we have faced this season. Very sharp passing going forwards and strong defensively. Not too down after that, but it is where we need to get to. Penney was slightly disapointing but to be fair it was his debut. 
  • I thought we gave it a good go lots of effort & fight still need to get our defense sorted out but definitely an improvement overall 
  • But the defence did well with some last ditch blocks to be fair. That Santos is a monster. Reminds me of Bikey in a way and very hard to get the better of. When Johnstone went off I thought it might help us but the lad who came on was twice as good. You sort of know it isn't going to be your day when that happens.
  • Today’s game showed us how far we need to go in our football to be able to compete with the teams at the top. There was quite a gulf in quality between the type of football both teams played. Bolton are one of the best sides we have played at home this season and we could not match the quality of their football.

    The players gave they’re all and full marks for that, but defence and attack is still lacking.
  • 2nd best all over the pitch

    strangest part of the day, sitting in the North Upper and my Flashscore app pings goal Bolton…1-2…..I show my mate and we carry on watching, they attack down the right and less than 60 seconds after the ping, they score.

    f**king freaky 
    I had this too. Was super freaky. We’re in the Matrix and we still lose!
  • Bang average performance against a side slightly better than us, JRS miss in the second half just about summed it up. Innis is at times a liability, for a big lad doesn't  win many headers.
    Penney looked lightweight and was no wonder Ipswich put him out on loan.
    Holden needs backing with a few quid, but once again an underwhelming window. 
    Another season in the 3rd division beckons. 
    Slightly? 

    Bit of an understatement to put it mildly.

    Yeah you got me, they were much better organised.

  • I Predicted the score  Well beaten by the better team. They missed so many chances, we would be going mad if we did the same.

    Penney had a poor debut. Bonnie was inefective. JRS went a went AWOL.

    We completed but were second best. 

    Plan for next season....
  • The two new boys were pretty poor today and will not get us out of this shit division.

    Bolton were in such a mess recently they had to play their entire youth team in first team games, now they're beating us comfortably and gunning for promotion. We are still a shambles behind the scenes. 
  • Yep pretty much the benchmark of where we are and it's someway off completing for playoffs. Effort was there but just not good enough. The Rak Saki miss was costly as if that went I we may have held on. May have . DH did say lots of work to do still. Wonder what his situation will be at the end of the season when his contract expires? Another season to look forward to in division 3.

    Bone wasn't the problem
    But he was A problem.

    The issue we have is that other than Fraser, our bright spots going forward are likely to be the loanees that are leaving us at the end of the season. 

    There's nothing to really build from into next year, especially if Leaburn goes too.

  • Christ, not sure how I missed that! You'd think the ref would say something at some point
    The laughable ref let Santos brutalise anyone in red with total impunity, not that Santos and Bolton needed any help today.
  • Strangely I felt disappointed with the result but happy with the scoreline, because they could have put four or five past us. We put in a lot of effort, but football wise we were a long way short of Bolton. Our passing isn't always what it should be, our decision making often poor,  we struggled to get into good scoring positions and our defenders don't always recover quickly enough. Despite all those things, the number one training session for next week has to be to teach Macauley Bonne about the off side law. Next up, explain to Blackett-Taylor that he is allowed to pass. I thought Maynard-Brewer was our man of the match, that's rarely a good sign. Of the outfield players, I thought Rak Sakyi was the cream of the crop though I wish he'd give Simon Church those sponge-foot boots back. For all your skills Jesurun, sometimes you just have to put your foot through the ball.

    That would be the Stockton who has scored 1 goal in 20 League appearances this season yes? Absolute machine there.
    Scored today 
  • I obviously watched a different game because I thought Penney looked quite good. Steady & had left foot which means he can take the ball forward & cross on the run rather than stopping, turning onto his right & then passing infield. 


  • How many in the stadium today .obviously not 14400
