HomeWell working ok so far and really well worked goal. Difficult with Morecambe defending so deeply but if we can just move the ball a bit more quickly forward I see more goals for us in the second half. Can’t see Morecambe creating anything so the games there for the taking.
Bolton 1-0 Morecambe

1 nil at HT but it's been hard work.

Absolute panic stations for the last 10 minutes but we saw the game out.
A win's a win but it was hardly convincing.
It would have helped if Baka had scored that sitter.

3 points, but it was a struggle against a team who will spend the season trying to remain in League One.
Still it's early days.

8 points from 4 games = Automatic form so nothing to moan about, made a few to many changes but job done, sets up the Wednesday game should be a big crowd. in Santos, Dapo and Charles we had our best three players out but still had enough. So looking forward to a big challenge come saturday.

Workmanlike at best, but the type of game we usually mess up, so I'll take the three points and move on.

Bradley was the only attacking player who played well, it wasn't an exciting performance.Lee was poor in midfield Morley and Dempsey not as good as v Wycombe.Kachunga and Bod didn't do enough up front although Kachunga did well for the goal.
The East Stand upper still has a noisy singing section to the left, they must be season ticket holders.The ground didn't seem to have 17.000 on but the queue to get off the car park suggested that crowd was about right.

It's good that we got through it, but yet again we conceded good chances which on another day could have been converted notably Delaney's header that missed by inches. Point is we are more resilient than last season, but still dependent on an element of luck - and that means trouble sooner or later.boltonbonce wrote:Workmanlike at best, but the type of game we usually mess up, so I'll take the three points and move on.
A lot of the doubt could be ameliorated if we were more free scoring but we're not quite good enough - or rather clinical enough.
Seems like we are a contender, but as things stand it looks like we're in for a far from smooth ride.

Taking the three points - as others have said - we should not be trying to hang on for the last 15 minutes at home against a relegation favorite.
Too slow to cross the ball and pussy footing around on the edge of the box.
Overall, a workmanlike performance - Onwards.

We won but not a classic, we looked sloppy in possession especially in the first half. I thought Bradley looked good again and Aimson had his best game for us, but Declan John was poor, he'll be out of the team come Saturday.

We still seem to fear shooting for me. When you have a crowded area like last night surely trying to,pass your way through doesn’t cut it. Both Kacha and Dempsey had good opportunities to shoot but pulled back and passed sideways instead. That’s where I prefer Sadlier to Kacha, he’s always ready to launch one and with either foot. Hopefully Dapo will be back in on Saturday to make a difference and whilst Aimson looked ok, it was only a Stockton less Morecambe and we need Rico back in against the Owls. Overall a good result against a poor side but what a miss by Baka who should have buried that.

Dempsey certainly wasn't scared of shooting - one well wide and two miles over the bar that I can remember. Baka knows he should have at least hit the target with the header - it was a great cross - and he was also guilty of a poor first touch with his back to goal so instead of getting it to stick he allowed the defenders to nip in and take it off him on several occasions - not his finest game by any means.Whitesince63 wrote:We still seem to fear shooting for me.

Bottom line is we need better quality - but let's not forget we're building back from financial oblivion, we can't push the boat out too far and there are definite signs of improvement with what we have got.

I was hoping that Stockton was absent because he was signing for Bolton this week.

Haven't you been poring over the accounts for months and still failed to come up with anything conclusive that says we can't?

Is that fake stupity or real stupidity on your part? I don't think I can say conclusively.

It would require you to actually come to a conclusion.
