For the time being Holden and Gardner make it through 90mins, I'm with Bish on the Gardner for LB

Highlights are tomorrow once the rest of games have been finished
Pfffft.

We won at QPR with him in team, only lost 3 2 v City, and win tonight 2 0. What happened without him?????

according to ye BBC we had 48% of the possession 5 attempts on target (to their 3) three off-target (to their 4) 6 corners (to their 7) and 14 fouls to their 10...

statistically it doesn't look like we dominated them - but according to the commentators - we played them off the park!

also, statistically, we scored 2 goals to their 0

Very good result away at Villa that.

Very good.

And I'm glad we've responded well to last weekends debacle. Granted its not points on the board, but the danger was there of a good performance but a narrow 1-0 loss, and a further erosion of confidence.

My initial thought remain for me, we have to psychologically survive this opening run of games. This result goes a long way to doing that.

Statistically it sounds like a shit game!

My word supporting the Wanderers is an odd roller coaster

The BBC are utter gash:
Soon after Bolton keeper Stuart Holden made a crucial near-post stop to block Agbonlahor's shot from Albrighton's dipping centre.

I'll bet Ricky Hunt and Anthony Gardner were aswell.
