    Well played Charlton... A good draw at a bogie ground we've not won at since 2002

    Sounds like Bolton battered at the defence but they held out in the second half which is a plus point to take away (bit of match fitness for Solly as well).

    And have moved a point away from the dotted line...

    Would've happily taken a point before the game.

    Keeps us 2 points clear of relegation, just hope Sheff. Wed screw up their game in hand.

    Solly + Wood managing the 90 minutes is very good news.

    A good result no doubt but we need to start winning games

    To stay up we need to beat the teams around us and in my opinion a draw is not good enough

    A decent point when the teams directly around us did poorly. Sounds like we started brightly then had to dig in for a well earned draw.
    Who's ready for the slating of Powell for how he used his subs?

    Well done the Addicks. Stopped the rot with an away point we'd have all taken before the start of play.

    Sounds like there we're some decent attacking spells when we were on top too. Good signs I'd suggest.

    We are not down and if we do go down, it'll be kicking and screaming.

    We needed something from that and we got it. The important thing now is we build on it.

    Good point. We always lose there.
    Next 2 home games are massive. Need 4 points minimum.

    We have so few options in our squad. Sounds like a decent point which I never expected us to get. It's going to be a real battle to avoid relegation however, I just can't see where the goals are going to come from.

    This!
    Two home games where we need performance and results - and no more injuries. That starting line up today is good and it sounds like we held out for a decent away point.

    Kermorgant scoring is a major plus. He took a few games to get going after last season's injury lay off and it's been the same this season.

    Good point well done. Not sure about the substitutions but they could well be dictated by the dearth of depth, so will worry about that for Boxing day.

    Thing is, our bench looks so weak without Sordell on it that I don't think he had a lot of scope to change it anyway. Excellent point, well done Chris and the team.

    Delighted with a point.

    Well done SCP and the lads.

    Other results (more or less) in our favour too.

    Thanks especially to Seth for up-to-the-minute reports. A wide disparity of possession: 68% Bolton, 32% us; Bolton 19 shots, us 9. Given all that, a draw is an achievement. Wendies, Yeovil and Donny lost; Barnsley drew.

    In this league, if we beat "the teams around us" with any sort of regularity, they'd soon no longer be the teams around us. We're in the thick of it because the squad just isn't up to much more.

    Happy with the point - starting 11 strong, bench today was comfortably L1 standard...

    I'l take that purely for the fact it means those that only judge a striker on the amount of goals he scores will shut up for at least the first 5 minutes of the Brighton match...

    Agreed however if fresh legs were required up front, with no striker on the bench CP had no option but to go with another in midfield (Ceddy) and Stewart in the hole when Church was taken off. His non selection of Pigott on the bench is another issue. At least he will have Sordell available on Thursday. Probably our best 11 available out there today and good to see Yann back on the score sheet and a much needed point.
    Edit: I understand that Pigott was unwell so CP 's hands were tied with no striker options on the bench :-(

    Good result against a decent side away from home. If we can get into January without being in the drop zone we can hopefully bring some new faces in and start scoring a few more goals

    We played really really well and Solly made a big difference. The lads at the back were in good voice throughout. Staff at the ground very friendly.

    Pleased with a point. Our bench today tells us much about the depth of the squad.

    After a poor start to the season, Bolton have been in decent form recently. Sounds like a good point well earned.

    Half hour after final whistle in a hotel with my 7 year old son , room service ordered and a celebratory chocolate pudding and ice cream on its way too

    First 20 mins we bossed it and the Bolton crowd were beginning to get on their teams back , nice work by Wiggins to set up Kermo for a classy finish ....
    but after that opening period it was mainly Bolton and we soaked up a lot of pressure and were lucky/defended well to hang on till they equalised with a decent finish as well
    Solly was decent enough but a bit rusty and Wood I thought looked a bit sharper on his comeback
    Second half one decent effort from Kermo and a couple of decent positions were created but no real threat and we sat deeper and deeper inviting them to break us down and thankfully wanderers weren't that sharp in the final third either despite the possession.

    M6 was shit on the way up thankfully my boy fell asleep but with a pessimistic father he's buzzing his nuts off with a point

    Kermo came over at the end and gave his shirt to a young fan , hopefully not a farewell gesture !

    Bolton gave us the whole bottom tier we had a row to ourselves !

    As a guesstimate 300ish there Wow

    I believe it was Morro's fourth booking of the season.
