An own goal, a missed penalty and yet another 2 points thrown away.

This is almost as bad as Coyle.

So disappointing not holding on to leads , our defence is just awful. Had we held on today and kept that 1-0 lead last week we'd be looking in really good shape on 31 points now. And for god's sake get eagles off penalties, he cost us big time at millwall too.

Overall performance OK though - has to be translated into wins sooner or later you'd think?

Err ...... yeah. Draws are not what people want.

Overall performance may (or may not) have been ok, as you say, but forget the 'Overall performance and look at the results. The teams we have played recently and our points return has been shocking. If 18 months ago these teams had been lined up against us, everyone (well most) would have said 'Easy, no probs'. Now we are happy with a draw.

Fair result in the end. Well played everyone apart from Knight

Got to also say the Bolton fans were great! I also appreciated the fans singing my username for a few mins! "I'm Bolton Till I die"

1 defeat and 7 games without defeat.

I see your point this does compare to the 18 months of failure under coyle.

We were decent today. Started well and probably should've been 1 or 2-0 up before they got a lucky goal. Second half we dominated and could've had 3 or 4 goals. Good goal from Mark Davies and a nice touch to set Eagles up for the second. We are terrible at defending though and will continue to struggle to win games with the defenders we have.

Eagles was man of the match imo.

[16:27:52 08/12/12] @ Biggie : Kevin Davies OG for Huddersfield btw in frist half


It was Knight.

Toss. Absolute toss. There wasn't a Bolton fan in the ground who thought we would keep them out at 2-1 up. Least of all the players.

What a bunch of spineless twats. What a spineless manager. Once again he picks a crazy team with the usual suspects at the back, and once again we let in two goals. IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE DOUGIE YOU TWAT, THESE DEFENDERS ARE SHIT. DROP THEM ALL.

All this talk of Riley & Sordell being ready for the first team was, again, absolute bollocks. Freedman is clearly following the Owen Coyle handbook on management. Talk a good story through the week, pick the same donkeys on Saturday afternoon.

We controlled long spells of the game but again the forwards were pitiful. How can professional footballers not kick the ball straight?

Dougie Freedman is shit.

The emphasis was on "almost" but draws against the kind of opposition we are playing currently and throwing away leads because of abysmal defending isn't good enough.

I am prepared to give Dougie more time but progress is slower than most of us hoped it would be.

I didn't expect Dougie to turn things around by now tbh. He's been left with some terrible players. Especially the defence. Cheers Owen.

I was going to take stock in February personally.

After he's had January to at least try and get a semblance of his own team together.

People expecting us to win every game are going to be disappointed.

Not saying I'm delighted with lots of draws but at some point you have to ask maybe these players aren't the ones to take us forward.

If dougie brings in a load of duffers and we're looking awful after January, i will re-think my stance on him. But so far, not much to say tbh.

Yes late February would be a reasonable time to assess progress under Dougie.
