Another win too! Not the best game apparently but can't complain. Up to 7th and two points off 3rd. Cardiff dropped 2 points as well.
Wolves going well though.

Saw 90% on a stream. Quite impressed. Bolton weren't bad, but lack confidence. Physical though and the ref was so crap they just mugged Davis over and over without ever awarding a foul.

I took my eyes off the screen for the red card. My Dad said it was not a red and we will win the tribunal appeal.

We controlled the match without really doing a lot and we should have grabbed a couple. We went into complete panic mode at the back and Bolton should have scored if it weren't for Samba's gigantic head.

[freer]

Well its 3 more points, however having to throw on Chris Samba, to keep the the side fixed to the bottom of the table at bay is a concern!

As for “we look a real threat going forward “ not on today's showing we ain't Steve

[freer]

but can't complain

You might when you read this, but its looooooong over due !

Not a classic but knew Bolton would come to make it difficult not surprised we had to scrap for it, that's exactly what you have to do in this league!
Massive game coming up v Wolves but I think that will suit us better and a draw there would not be a bad result.
Take a well earned break lads but stay focused.

Oh and so nice to see that lot from down the road put well and truly back in their place. Had to laugh the other night when I heard on tge radio a nose saying they would finish top 6 and above us, priceless!!
Deluded and obssessed.

[mondaze]

how can these referees be the best of the rest... truly shocking!

[westcountryvillain]

Could be a blessing in disguise how this game panned out, on paper after 3 wins on the spin it's a home banker, confidence is high and AVFC should easily brush Bolton aside. Any teams coming to VP will look to frustrate us and turn the crowd against the team, experience of grinding out a result is a good thing & will keep their feet on the ground.

12 pts from 12, 1 goal conceded - big test for us now away to high flying Wolves.

Do you think Taylor's red will be overturned? Hope so - who is our other LB?

I can sense Gabby coming on in the last 10 mins and winning it for us. Or knicking a point!

[bongosdad]

Gabby is always a good option off the bench. I'm guessing Hutton will go left back unless we go 3 at the back and play Adomah as a wing back. I know bruse suggested green could do a job there.
