Well that was a roller coaster of a game, thought Clough was poor today, Ameobi flatters to decieve, great footwork at times, but loses possesion too easily, can't beat an injury time winner though, haven't celebrated a goal like that for years.

Report: Bolton 2-1 Scunthorpe United
IN BRIEF
Wanderers ended 2016 in Sky Bet League One's top two following the most dramatic of victories over Scunthorpe United at Macron Stadium on New Year's Eve.
Phil Parkinson’s men broke the deadlock inside 17 minutes and did so in style, with Josh Vela thundering home on the half volley from all of 20 yards.
The visitors levelled shortly after the hour mark through Neal Bishop from close range, but James Henry had the last word deep into injury time to earn all three points for the Trotters.
TEAM NEWS
Wanderers were unchanged in regards to their starting XI and substitutes from Monday’s league clash with Shrewsbury Town.
FIRST HALF
The first period got underway and it was the visitors who enjoyed the first notable chance as Paddy Madden saw a thunderous shot from just inside the box palmed away by Alnwick.
Wanderers were soon at it themselves however, with Zach Clough snapping an effort wide of the upright inside six minutes.
The chance visibly buoyed the Whites and certainly brought the game to life, with a number of tasty tackles flying in thereafter.
And the deadlock was broken inside 17 minutes as Gary Madine knocked the ball into the path of the advancing Vela who thundered home on the half volley from all of 20 yards with Luke Daniels left helpless in the United goal.
It was almost two soon after as the two combined once again with Madine this time producing the goalbound effort, only to see his shot hooked off away at the death.
The visitors meanwhile appeared to have levelled against the run of play in the 25th minute following a Josh Morris free-kick into the area, but the assistant referee’s flag was already up before the ball had hit the back of the net.
That chance led to a period of pressure from the Iron, with Wanderers being forced onto the back foot momentarily.
Bolton were soon back on the attack though, with Clough lifting the ball narrowly over the crossbar on the half hour mark after snaking his way into the box.
As the remainder of the first period ebbed away, Sammy Ameobi tried his luck from a tight angle on the edge of the box but Daniels was on his guard.
Come half time however, the Trotters’ advantage was just the one goal.
SECOND HALF
With no changes at the break, the game restarted and Bolton were the team to enjoy a first sight of goal.
Ultimately, nothing came from that move and thereafter, Scunthorpe enjoyed a period of possession which didn’t bring too much in the way of goalmouth action.
On the stroke of the hour though, it was very much the visitors who were knocking on the door with a header from a corner being nodded off the line by Madine.
The Bolton faithful were in fine voice amongst a crowd of over 17,000 at Macron Stadium, while Alnwick tipped a looping Morris header over the crossbar soon after.
With the game 62 minutes old however, the Iron were level as Bishop collected a loose ball in the Bolton box and thundered home into the roof of the net from close range.
The pressure cooker that was the game was building, with Mark Beevers receiving a caution following a clash of heads with Sam Mantom shortly after.
After that break in play, Bolton were able to regain their composure and set about finding a winner in the clash inside the final quarter.
Frustration was evident for both sides, with Clough tumbling under pressure from two United bodies deep inside the box but the referee was unmoved in regards to Bolton’s claims for a penalty kick.
With the game inside its final ten minutes, it was a case of all hands to the pump and Wanderers were left calling for another spot-kick as Bishop blocked a Tom Thorpe thunderbolt inside the box, with Bolton believing a hand had been used.
Thorpe meanwhile saw a header from a corner glance agonisingly wide of Daniels' far post with three minutes to go.
With six minutes added meanwhile, it was a case of now or never for the Whites.
And in the fourth minute, Bolton were rewarded as substitute Henry's deflected shot eluded Daniels to earn the most dramatic of victories.

good result but we didn't play well for most of the second half and it looked like Scunny could snatch it until we found a bit extra late on
I think the problem we have is that we press so much especially in the first half we don't have the energy to do that for a whole match and that lets teams in, but fair play they kept going and Henry took his goal well. Hopefully that will give him a bit of confidence

Good first half, sloppy in the second, Clough has looked out of sorts for a couple of games now, maybe a rest needed and let Clayton or Henry have a chance.

Good game, Scunthorpe were worth at least a point.
Played ok first half but once again Parky's half-time team talk seemed to put us on the back foot in the second half.
Shit defending for their goal, and we were pretty shaky at the back for most of the half.
Clough did nowt, Ameobi his usual beat four men then lose the ball, Madine won the odd header but nothing more.
Yet we still won.
A proper winger to replace Ameobi would go down a treat in January, as would a striker who knows where the net is. I've heard ALF is pissed off at Wigan.

Your deluded if you think that we can replace Ameobe with a better winger at this level, take the blinkers off the guy works hard, scores goals and unlocks defences. You know what lets get rid!!!Natasha Whittam wrote:Good game, Scunthorpe were worth at least a point.

I think you're the deluded one, and I think people are slowly realising that I was right all the time.
For all his fancy footwork there is never an end product. When did he last put a cross in that created a goal? Or a pass?
He's a luxury we can afford at the moment, but when we hit the next shit patch he's a fooking liability.
The fact we haven't extended his loan gives me hope that Parky follows my work.
