Fleetwood Town 0-2 Bolton Wanderers

Hard to keep track of games over this period, i'm not even sure what day it is now 

We go to Fleetwood on Friday night, they've been on a poor run but got a point away at Portsmouth last game. Hoping we can grind out another away win and put pressure on the top two so i'm going for another 0-1.

I think its the day after Boxing day. That's all I know.

Yes, I’d concur with that Norpig, a 0-1 result sounds just about right although I’d certainly be hoping for more. We just seem to have lost our mojo in front of goal at the moment. It’s not that we’re not still creating chances just that we’re spurning them. At Lincoln we could have won comfortably had we just shown an ounce of composure, especially Dion who snatched at everything. Never mind I’m sure it’ll come back soon and we’ll punish teams more again.

We need a much more convinving win if we are to stay at the top and push for promotion.

I just can't see the lads doing it enough tomorrow and I also feel that it will be a close win.

0-1 or 1-2 for me.

It certainly won’t be easy tonight, not just with a fired up Fleetwood side but also the stormy weather, soggy and uneven pitch. How some of our players respond to that will be the key for me. Some of our players do seem a little soft so performing in those conditions may prove difficult so I think Evatt needs to take that into account when picking his starting eleven. I think he will and will pick his most robust team. At the end of the day it’s the same for both teams so excuses won’t cut it, we need to win if we’re going to seal a place in that top two and I think we will but narrowly so any kind of a win will do for me.

Eieieio. We’d have lost the last two games in previous seasons. Our form in the second half of the season is notoriously good and I’m fully expecting us to win the league from here

You're probably right about not being good enough to win those games previously, but whether or not we win the league will probably be decided in our very tricky run of games from February 24th to the end of March - horrendous set of fixtures in which we can either see off some of our rivals or be seen off ourselves.
We certainly have to get points on the board beforehand especially against the likes of Fleetwood and Burton on Monday because Blackpool, Wigan (LOL), Derby, Stevenage and Barnsley - all away games plus Oxford at home and a long trip to Exeter thrown in the middle of that aren't going to be a stroll in the park by any means - although we've also got Shrewsbury and Cambridge at home for some light relief during that very congested spell. If the squad stay fit and our rivals don't throw too much money at it in January we'll be OK. But we've still got a long way to go and some tough challenges ahead.
That said, being 2 points behind the leaders with a game in hand (Barnsley away) at the halfway stage is some achievement and should be celebrated.

Nowt to complain about - a solid two half game again. Complete domination and plenty of chances created. I don't usually have Dion as MOM but last night he was out of control.
Overall, an excellent team performance. 
January window will be interesting as we will see what Ian thinks about the current squad.
Onwards!
