He's a mile above them all in terms of class. Went off after doing some stretching.

Probably played at about 50% capacity

[Wandering Willy]

[officer_dibble]

I think its a statement by coyle...he wouldnt normally play em. bet he is there tonigjt.

[tell ben im him]

Is anyone present if so how's it going

[jimbo_bwfc]

I'm not there, but it's 1-1, Watt gave them the lead, Ngod equaliser . The first of many...I hope.

Scratch that, some Turkish bloke made it 2-1 to them.

1 - 2 HT ngog for us. Arsenal started the stronger and had a couple of chances before they took the lead. As the half progressed Bolton began to get a real grip on the game and an equaliser was on the cards when Ngog was fed the ball, chested it down and sweetly finished to make the scores level. A lapse of concentration let Arsenal in for a goal to make the score 1 - 2. Blakeman taken off with an ankle injury with McQuade his replacement

2-2 tuncay arsenal mistake at back

3-2 a great finish by Ngog. On this performance he's got to be a starter for Saturday

Good to see Coyle's philosophy's being filtered down at all levels

[Salford Trotter]

Just got back from the game. Given the strength of the Bolton team you would've expected a comfortable vistory but they were pushed all the way by a very goos Arsenal second string. The stand out performance came from Ngog who looked sharp up front with two very well taken goals that undoubtedly impressed the watching Owen Coyle.

I was concerned for Blakeman when he went off with an ice-pack strapped to his ankle but the sub Alex McQuade was a more than adequate replacement. Katuta was invisible in the first half but came more into the game in the second half and sadly Holden looks a few games off being match fit and I noticed he was holding his hamstring towards the end of the game. Tuncay played well and his goal was drilled smartly into the corner of the goal following an Arsenal defensive mistake.

A good turn out too as there must have been 500 watching, well worth the trip.

[officer_dibble]

how was wheater?

[Lofthouse Lower]

Holden had cramp, nothing more severe.
