Stats: Bolton 1 BRFC 1 - 55% - 45% - Shots 19-2 - On Target 5-1 - Corners 11-1 - Fouls 12-17 - Referee: Robert Lewis - Attendance: 16,786 (Away 775) Away 775? That's remarkable for a Friday night in December with the World Cup on TV. I had a message from someone who went who thought there were around 250. I just wondered what the correct number is. Not knocking it. 250 is still good going in my books... |

Fair enough, thanks. The eye witness must have got it wrong, or 500 people didn't turn up! |

Watched around half of the match on the wireless with pictures.... They definitely deserved a draw, and as I saw it the niggly stop start gamesmanship was partly caused by Bolton little infringes, and our go down to exaggerate a foul - which it was - but we had no advantage in playing on and riding stupid little challenges. I would understand their frustration, but what else is a ref to do? So, a scrappy draw ensued. I think many Gas would have taken a draw before a ball was kicked and taking any points from clubs in top 10 is good for me, but once again we seem to be very good at throwing away points later on because we can't manage the game out from a winning position.
We go again next Saturday v port vale. Comparatively, it won't be easy. A different challenge. As of now, I'm 'meh' about where we are and JAB....he is where we were when he took over and great credit to get us up and moving forward to where we are (just turning around a losing momentum is hard enough), and the way we play our football which at times is easy on the eye and makes for entertaining matches)...but to counter that, we haven't progressed on and fulfilled potential with some individual players, our league position is bang average, cup record poor and discipline record awful.. In world cup terms atm, we are Mexico! This is borne out not only results, but in a couple of games the opposition could, and probably should, have scored a late equaliser. The ones that spring to mind are Cambridge, where a free header was put over the bar, and Peterborough, where the faintest touch by JCH would surely have gone in - quite how JCH failed with that chance I don't know. Both of those games we had controlled, it would have been a huge injustice for us not to have won, but we could quite easily have come away from them with 2 points rather than 6, from effectively the last touch of the game. They say the best form of defence is attack, and if you look at the second half of last season that's the way we went about our business. It was as if the defence wasn't really tested, and in my mind, from that time, I can only picture commanding headers and important blocks by Connor Taylor. |
