I'd be taking Paris off at half time.

This is awful. Typical away game again.
He's had a good moment playing one of ours through for a chance, but aside from that he's been rather quiet compared to usual.


Feels like we're suffering from the weight for expectation rather than the weight of expectation. We know how good we can be, and we're sort of waiting for it to come but don't expect it away from home.


This is exactly the sort of performance I expected. Frustrating 0-0. We should be beating this lot. Ref early on set a marker for messing with us, but seems to have been a bit fairer as the game went on.

Conditions are tough. Think we've been ok. But typical away have an the ball, huff and puff, not create a lot but don't look wholly secure. Need to find a way.

A poor first half by Bolton despite having more possession. No shots on target, one effort on goal.. high and wide, Baxter forced to make 2 saves. We will have to do much better if we are to get anything out of this game. Our forwards are being starved and our crossing horrible. Get a grip. Playing like we have settled for the playoffs.

Not great, but 0-1 would do.

They've probably had the better chance, we're saving them washing fciking Jedward's kit.

A cautious (dreadful?) performance so far. Clearly the wind is playing its part, but that’s no excuse to miss so many short passes. These wing-backs are so frustrating: Ogbeta noticeably off it: although not many opportunities, the one he had to find a man from the touch line, he missed.

As above, Paris is looking frustrated after so many woeful refereeing decisions. Lots breaking down with him, but he can make things happen. Not like Evatt to make any half-time subs (or any before 70 for that matter) but perhaps the conditions suit Demps’ combination of scrap and nous.

Great save by Baxter. Seems like Santos has taken a bad knock there, looks ominous.

Linesman waving flag for Toal doing exactly what he's opponent did? wtf is this reffing.

If Santos is injured from that then what hope do we have?

Maybe its our equivalent of feigning injury to disrupt their flow?

Wake up Bolton.

Thomason getting grabbed by the shoulder and thrown to the ground, refs playing advantage for them apparently.

Looks like Santos is injured. Ffs. Toal CB and Forrester coming on.

According to Derek. Who could be on the whacky backie.
