Just off down the gym, so here's something for Kiwi to vent his asterisks on ...

Good solid performance first half for me, shame about the goal against the run of play.
Will be amazed if its 11 against 11 at full time.

[Watchdog]

Goal!!!

[cashman]

Robbed again.

2-1 down with Butcher & Pritchard warming the bench.
I despair.

Bolton 3 shots on target 3 goals Stanley 6 shots on target 1 goal season in a nutshell.

Anyone tells me the refs aint against Stanley i will call a LIAR.

[Watchdog]

Disappointed with the result but not the performance. Thought we played great but the sending off spoiled us.

[VALAIRIAN]

Referee was dire, but to be honest, he gave us loads of wrong decisions.....

Would have to see the red again, but looked wrong to me.

I can remember at least 5 decisions, which were given only by the crowd

[cashman]

DIRE IS a not strong enough word for the REF.

%^$#%%$%#&^&%$#%$%$!!!! Grrrrrrr

It's a sad fact that your analysis has been repeated in almost every game this season.
At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, this statistic only proves;
1. When opponents are scoring with nearly every 'on target' shot, which is conclusive - We need a more competent keeper.
2. When so few of our own 'on target' shots result in goals, which is undeniable - We need a more competent strikeforce.
Until these 2 key elements are addressed, upward progress will remain impossible & downhill descent ever more likely.

Although we competed well in the first half. Our high balls into the box were too easy for Trafford to take. The quality not quite there with crosses to close to the keeper. It was good to see Charles miss his best chance on the break, he was well marshalled by Sykes and Nottingham.for most of his time on the pitch. We played well to get back into the game with Leigh's long throws into the box. But Bolton's strength in depth upfront showed us what we are missing when Bodvarsson and Bakayoko came on as subs. Both looked like they belonged in a higher league......especially Bodvarsson. Our dissallowed offside goal looked good from behind the goal, but the linesman didn't agree when he saw Pritchard tangle with Trafford as Leigh's shot hit the back of the net. Thought Sean's deliveries from corners and set pieces were poor today....and when he doesn't play well then we don't tend to either....dissappointed with the result but not surprised......we just don't have the options and quality up front.....

we dont have the options but for me Prichard was pushed.
