After that, I don’t have anything in the tank for a full summary, suffice to say that a point and three goals on the road to the team with the best home record in the league is magnificent and certainly unexpected.
Daniel Kanu’s work rate was phenomenal, working along with Ladapo to provide pressure from the front. And a great, battling goal capped off what I think is his best performance in the first team.
Thierry Small’s debut was excellent, also capped off with a very good goal.
A solid team effort. Unfortunate to concede three, but it looks like our scoring boots are back.
Nathan Jones’s energy has carried through to the team that is slowly building in the right direction. If we can keep that up, the points will surely come.

As it happened, we got both a performance and a result. Can’t complain about getting a point from the “Tough Shit” stadium as Bolton have been very good this year, but there were some really encouraging performances too. Excellent debut from Small who looks like he could be very decent. Kanu was good. Anderson did well. The team in general did well. Still some defensive question marks, but I’m sure Jones and Hart are working on that.
Overall, I’m pretty happy. Yes, a win would’ve been nice and would’ve been a real boost, but I feel a lot more optimistic about our prospects after that performance.
Still need to actually win some football matches soon.
Good signs
We all would've taken a point before the game.

Issue is, we need to start caring about results more than performances with how the table is going.
Drawing every game might keep us 'undefeated' but we need to start converting 3 goals into wins.
Looking forward to the pompey game next week, regardless of there result.
Isted we have missed that kind of shithousery, don’t mind that at all.
Small is the wingback we have been crying out for, quality.
Daniel Kanu son well done that’s outrageous work effort and deserved his goal.
thought Jones was also very assured tonight.
would have taken a point all day long.
we build on from here
ps: We do like a game against Portsmouth
Huge improvement. Played as a team with clear tactics, great energy and passion. Well deserved point and could easily have been three.
Daniel Kanu was magnificent and Karoy Anderson, who just a few short weeks ago was struggling, wasn’t far behind.
A performance to be proud of and a very decent result. More like this and we’ve got a chance.
Well done lads, and well done Nathan Jones.
Bolton’s a tough place to go and to a man we stood up and went toe to toe with them.
Really pleased with that performance. I really hope NJ can drill some consistency in to them because that’s where we’ve struggled.
NJ should have brought the subs on 5 minutes earlier as the team was visibly wilting.
Problem remains the defence. we will not be saved unless the defence is improved really rapidly.
Played well and a solid 7.5/10 team performance from me.
