And you will take my hand and make believe it's..... Sunderland (H) 15:00 29/1/22

Tell you what - that move that ended with Lee’s sand-wedge reminded me of our successful time under Coyle. We weren’t afraid to get it into the final third for SKD to recycle, then play there until we could create a chance. More “territory” and vertical than POMO.

Under the cosh here.

Some great play by Sunderland on the right.

[DJBlu]

fecking run with it Declan.

It's on the line, why pass there?

Some great play by Sunderland on the right.

I can understand the desire to catch them on the counter attack but sometimes, this is the time to retain possession, take time, tire them out

[GhostoftheBok]

This system makes overloads down that right all day long.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Another good run and cross from Foz. Had that Sunlun defender not got the slightest touch it would have run straight to Morley(?) to hammer home. That’s the sort of touch I as a defender celebrate. Hope it doesn’t prove crucial.

[DJBlu]

Going to have to take Dapo off to protect him. The referee is letting loads go.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

They’re beginning to find some space in our midfield - on the left of our V, if you like. Need to watch that.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Dapo nearly done a Dapo

[sonicthewhite]

I need a refill.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Gillingham already 3-0 down at home to Oxford. Come here, Demps.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Johnston doing a good job of covering behind John.

[sonicthewhite]

Refill accomplished

[DJBlu]

fecking get in Dapo!!

Started it and finished it off.

Superb move!

[Prufrock]

What a goal. Lovely touch from Lee. Sexy even.

[GhostoftheBok]

Started and finished by Dapo. Well done, young man.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Very good half. Vey good. The sort that makes you wonder what if...

Tell you what, defenders can't enjoy playing against Dapo and Dion. A right pair of niggly, hard-working and talented players.

[irie Cee Bee]

An amazing half of football by Bolton. Sweet football. Santos imperious.

[GhostoftheBok]

Slow start, but easily the best half we've played since the switch of systems. Loads of goals in this side if we can keep it up.

They will react after the half, so we just need to maintain the hold we have of the game.

[DJBlu]

Hands up, who had the first assist by the keeper?

Nope me neither.
