Can't say i'm pleased to be right but suppose it makes life a bit easier for me on here...

Great performance, Foy is a knob, absolutely clueless! Point is massive in the grand scheme of things

7pts is a fantastic return from Everton, Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Ideally need to get at least 4pts from Norwich and Wigan now; the Wigan game in particular looking massive.

Fan bloody tastic. Keeps the spirits high. New lads will be eager and the old guard will have to go the extra mile to keep their place.

Excellent 2nd half,keeper got just enough on the ball to avoid giving us a pen. Only one team looked like winning in the second half. Bit more conviction and we could have had em.Good to see a Bolton team taking on the bigger teams again.Who said nil point for January!

Decent set of results we've had this month, against some good teams.

C'mon, who would have really said 7 points against Everton (a), Liverpool (h) and Arsenal (h) would have been possible, sandwiched inbetween a cup-win against (Barclays) Premier League oppo?

Much better second half, showing some real energy and taking it to em. Defence did well enough against the tippy-tappy boys and by golly, we could have won it. A point's a point and against Arsenal, a good result. Wenger's face made my night.

Tuncay had a big impact when he came on. Certainly made the ost of his 10 mins worth. Bit more belief and we'd have taken that game.

Should we be asking refs for protection against Arsenal's cloggers? :mrgreen:

A decent return given the opposition and the results for the teams around us.

Lots of praise for Wotsit from Steve Harper on R5 tonight.

Anyone mention the clean sheet?

... really deserves more than we give him, or anything he's going to get till May.

Shame.

23 shots on target Blackburn had and lost 2-0.

Got to sting a bit.
Makes them losing even sweeter :lol: hopefully will knock there confidence having all them attempts with no success. Samba not in the squad tonight either so hopefully he has a big spoon and is stirring things right up behind the scenes :D

Deserved to win IMO second half was quality defending, I thought it was a little negative from Coyle bringing Davies on for ngog, but Sparky had a great game aswell as did Wheats & Knight, Steinnson & Ricketts pretty much limited wallcott & chamberlain to pointless runs... NRC was busting a gut box to box again.... Brilliant performance as have all but the United game in 2012... 7 points out of a possible 12 against two top 4 contenders and a top half table team Norwich and Wigan are the two games next... Play like we've been playing and it should be 6 points from them two COYW!

Oh and also...would you say we should be looking for at least 3 or 4 points from our next two fixtures?

A real chance to give ourselves some breathing space and hammer another nail in Wigan's coffin
