Bolton post match thoughts?

[Yak]

Putting this on now took me ages to log in. This site is like our defence

Should have lost really at the end there so have to take the draw.

Unbelievably tense last 20 minutes. My legs were thrashing about, head wobbling at every header. Exhausting.

Cann excellent today, Cover had a good game. We needed a Kelly-type in the middle to bring a bit of stability and composure.

How many times this season have we seen us give it away too easily when attacking, only to see the opposite race upfield and punish us?

Happy to take a point in the end.

Before the game I would have took a point but after being 2 up at half time that game should have been won.
If we can’t hold on to a 2 goal lead then we don’t deserve to stay up.

Not sure about that Crook,while its very disappointing not to win,they were never going to be that poor in the 2nd half.
Mostly positive for me,apart from not winning,we competed well for most of the game,they had the first 20 mins of the 2nd half,but we created as many chances as them,and some very good performances.....Nombe,Martha,Cover,Jules,Cann,in fact nobody had a bad game,which is what we need if have any chance of stopping up.

Players did well, Nombe, Martha, cann and cover when he was in midfield. We threw another two points away that is about twenty from winning positions, it shows that in game decisions have hurt us all season and it did again today. We are five points from safety and we just do not win football matches, where are the wins coming from. We will not stay up, we average 1 ppg what is going to change in the last 10 games to change that to a 1.4 or 1.5 ppg which we need? At this stage of the season it doesn?t matter who we play we have to win our home games as a minimum and we haven?t done that enough. We are a poor team in a poor league, there are many reasons for that the main one is MH, he made poor decisions again today, their manager made tactical changes and MH got his wrong again. A better performance from the players but at the end of the day we are further away from safety than we were at the start of the game.

Entertaining game again, I thought. It belied the 20 league places between us.
Disappointed, obviously to lose a two goal lead, especially as the teams around us are picking up the odd win. Looks to be drifting away from us.
Their first goal was a blatant push in the back, the second, a catalogue of errors, starting with Watmore unbelievably squaring a ball , when he should have buried it.
Too much damage has been done by the teams around us.

MH having a go at fans again, and also wondering how our defense wasn’t as good as in recent weeks, well Matt you changed a successful tight back four to a 3 cb system again, that left holes down the sides. When Bolton added an extra left sided midfielder on to attack those gaps, you took off our captain moved a lad that had played well in midfield and put him at left wing back. A simple change to a four and adding an extra midfielder allowing cover to drop into a two with Powell in front of the four, would have allowed us to counter that tactical change. Matt we do not have the players to play wing backs how can you not see this?

Kelly out with illness? Martha think he's a one game wonder not for the next 2 away games. We're a centre back short of a back 3 after Baptist & Jules. Need Gore back starting at Peterborough. Watmore looked weak when he got on been better putting J Holmes on the right.
