The Match Against Blackburn Rovers

[Turkish Trotter]

Don't know what to feel right now. Welled up walking out the ground.

Today was just a bit too much.

Heroes 1-11 out there.

And the fans were amazing, an atmosphere and a half.

1-32. I hate these squad numbers.

A great and important win for us today. Had no idea how we would play today so much relieved with the 3 points. Let's hope this carries on into the next match. It is a big match for us and an absolute must win match for Wolves.

At times we were poor but so were Blackburn, disappointed to concede though and felt we could have had a few more goals.

Yep ... it was "I'm not even on the fckg bench today. What is it with you Coyle ?"

[Bruce Rioja]

feck knows where they pulled all that extra effort from. Petrov into everything, looking for anything and dropping deep when Ricketts went forward. Darren Pratley actually looked like a Premier League Midfielder. Ream Dicking Hoilet for pace. Steinsson excellent in both defence and attack. Save for not having put the game out of sight (N'Gog and M Davies) thus leading to that frantic final five mins, I was absolutely delighted with the boys today. COME OOOOOONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!

Told you you would win

So, the "is Ream quick or isn't he ?" question is answered. If he can outpace Hoilett I think the answer is "he is".

I think he is. Been impressed with him since he's come into the team. So much better than Knightmare.

He is - very.

[Dr.Karl]

Amazing stuff and great atmosphere. Really proud of the performance today, I thought our two wingers were superb. Ream looks pretty impressive for such little experience in the league. Certainly look more solid with him in there. Just glad we held on until I saw the Wigan result. They're not gonna make it easy!

That Holiett looks a player too, everytime he had the ball around the box he was a constant threat.

And we even had a man up front on free kicks and corners(for a short time at least )

Pretty sure it was only ever a question for Bish!

[Prufrock]

Got to say I thought they'd bottle it. Absolutely fantastic performance. If we'd won 5-1 they couldn't have complained. Got very lucky with the penalty shout at 0-0, looked like an absolute stone-waller, but still the better side. Wheater MoM, not just for the goals, seemed like a magnet every time they launched it forward, which was every time they got the ball. Petrov first half was as good a performance as you'll see from a winger. Second half he was back to his usual exasperating self, but if he can create chances like he did when he got on the ball, that's when you can sometimes forgive his sheer yellow belly cowardliness.

Miyaichi absolutely top class in the final third, his crosses for Wheater's second and Mark Davies' glaring miss were brilliant. Even Pratley played well!

Top class, MOTD AGAIN!

[Gail Platz]

Played much better than we did against QPR, was great link ups between Ricketts and Petrov, and Ryo would probably have got man of the match if it wasn't for Wheater's goals. The centre halves were both impressive and for me Blackburn never looked a threat.

How Mark Davies missed to make it 3-1 I'll never know but it wouldn't be Bolton if we didn't do it the hard way!

I'm better than Zat Knight. There aren't words to describe how much I hate him

[plymouth wanderer]

I thought the team did well under the circumstances

Special mention to boggers ricketts and sparky

Ricketts was brilliant,proper grit and determination performance really impressed with him today

And sparky has come on leaps and bounds from last season he just keeps us ticking over and never rushes hopefully he will go strength to strength

I know boggers nearly dropped a few howlers but all credit to the lad he kept coming and claiming crosses and you can see he was really fvcked off with himself so no doubt he will work on it in training

i can now look forward to MOTD

[Gail Platz]

Agreed that Sam Ricketts put in a top performance and if he continues like that then we've not to worry about getting another left back in in the summer.... just get rid of that bloke who's currently at Leeds!

[BWFC_Insane]

If Davies leaves in the summer, and assuming he stays, Ricketts should be club captain.

Absolute legend in my eyes. Looking for senior pros to help the kids through today and Sam, Petrov and NRC didn't let us down.

[Gail Platz]

Ricketts should be club captain. Absolute legend in my eyes.
