5 hours of football

No team has scored against Bolton at the Reebok since Hull lost here 4-1 in mid February. That is 5 hours of football at home without the opposition scoring.

Is Freedman onto something or is the Bolton goal living a charmed life at the moment? After all, yet another team hit he woodwork more than once, on Tuesday night. An, by all accounts (3 radio reports I listened to), Huddersfield "peppered our goal with chances" throughout the second half. GMR said "I can see the Town fans going home not quite believing that they didn't get at least a point here."

So, are Freedman's tactics winning us games and keeping us clean sheets or is lady luck on our side at the moment?

Surely there are only so many times that you can get away with the other team being unfortunate enough to keep hitting the bar and post, without doing something about it, before those chances start going in.

Or is it because Bogdan has been dropped>

Dawson Lonergan and plenty luck.

I hope Bogdan never plays at the Reebok again.

Our goal has lived a charmed life - be honest.

Better players and tactics.

Dougie is renowned for being very resilient in home games, palace won 1-0 at home 11 times under him, better get used to it boys.

Nope it's all a fluke and in spite of Dougie.

When we do concede though, Dougie is to blame.

/theory.

All good and well but it's just a shame we can't keep a few clean sheets on the road.

Just read on bolton news site that if we win saturday it will be the 1st time bolton have won 7 straight games at home since bruce riochs era...

Bruce! Bruce! Bruce!

What Triumph said hits the nail on the head. I would also mention our defensive midfielders have been doing a good job in front of our back line

We look really strong at home. You can see the determination in the players to not concede. We're always in games these days too, not too many times that we've been blown away and been hit for 3 or 4 nil.

Oh I dunno, Knight seemed pretty keen to put one past Lonergan on Tuesday past.

is it not 4 games we haven't conceded?

That's 6 hours +

It's weeks if you count the time in between the games.

6

or

4?

Now 488 minutes, just over 8 hours

DF is the man, I just hope some other club doesn't come in and take him away.

He's too defensive though, just another Megson.

I prefer conceding loads.
