Tyking the Mickey? Home to Barnsley, Boxing Day, Dec 26th 3-0'clock

[DJBlu]

Excellent play there and a good turn by Schon, wins the free kick on the edge of the box.

[DJBlu]

Piss poor free kick, Aaron on the next one please.

[DJBlu]

Some really good one touch stuff going forward. Don't know if it's cause we're playing well or Barnsley are letting us play.

[TiredTrotter]

Fairly even this, both sides having chances going forward, could do with a second

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

Let's keep airfield on corners please

Aye they look fairly open, midfield just disappears

[DJBlu]

Airfield with two great corners in.

Whistle goes. Crowd happy.

COYWM!!!!

[knobpolisher]

Good half that, much better than recently.
Not that that's saying much.

[Mar]

Jones tackling has been good. Passing poor.

Forester not really noticeable so he must be keeping his guy quiet. We'll deserved keeping their spots. Santos plying w3ll.

[Mar]

All in all its a good first half. Thomason seems unnecessarily panicked. More to come from him

[Worthy4England]

Decent enough first 45.

[DJBlu]

Fair play to Arfield, looks like he's taken Christmas seriously and actually is performing beyond some that have had more games time.

Professional if anything.

It's about time. I'm led to believe he had played a full season, then an mls season then came straight to us. Guy probably just needed some time off

Relevant HTs
• Huddersfield 1-0 Stockport - 4th beating 5th despite neither side having a shot on target - first-minute Bate oggy
• Lincoln 0-1 Shrewsbury - not in the Imps' script to lose vs the bottom side
• Reading 2-0 Northampton - Nobby's team yet to force a save
• Posh 0-3 Mansfield - far from undeserved - Stags have had 12 shots, and 23 touches in the box to the home side's 2

As it stands we're 7th, would need to win by 4 to go 6th.

[DJBlu]

Expected bright start by Barnsley.

Come on Bolton.

Come on Bolton.

Sometimes we start like a house on fire, sometimes like a house burnt down.

[HMX]

Russell misses a sitter… phew

[DJBlu]

Head up Aaron. Schon in acres of space.

Barnsley break, ball in, lad on his own, borrows Collins's boots and blazes over.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

I suspect our makeshift 6 Tomo was ball-watching there

[DJBlu]

Mince pies for half time then...

Wake up ffs.
