We were robbed..
It doesn't change how crap we were though, and at best deserved a draw not a win.
RE: Match Thread - Bolton Wanderers - Southeyowl - 17-01-2015
Yes we were crap, but lino has rodded us of a point, even if it was not deserved!
He was consistently shit all game though!

Bubbles Burst
From talk of the Playoffs last week to talk of wholesale clearouts today.
As usual with Wednesday, when things seem bad, they are never really that bad and when they seem good, they are not really that good.
Yesterday we started sloppily & with no purpose to our play. This is far from the first time this season that we have started poorly. Lee's pass to Maghoma was suicide and we were punished. Dielna dithered and we were punished again.
Bolton were far better prepared for the contest. Neil Lennon's dossier policy showed as every Bolton player knew what we were going to do plus playing three in CM meant they controlled the match.
The first half had little positive to note. Maguire again proved a great penalty taker after he was fouled. There was one clever corner routine with two false runs allowing Maguire a shot from 25 yards. That was it.
In the second half we were much brighter with Maghoma switched to CM, cutting through the Bolton defence time & time again. Maguire looked much more inventive. It was little surprise when a substitution came but it was a shock that Maghoma departed after his best 20 minutes at home this season. The result was that we lost our momentum apart from one run by Hutchinson.
Hutchinson showed that he has learnt little from how he got himself injured earlier in the season by throwing himself into tackles recklessly. First time he got a warning, second time he got a yellow card & third time he got a red card. He may have got the ball but leaping through the air like that often gets a straight red card.
We had a final flurry with Nuhui hitting the bar & May wrongly flagged for offside when he headed in the rebound. Dielna had a brilliant shot tipped on to the bar in injury time.
Westwood - 7 - two more brilliant saves
Palmer - 6 - kept his flank tight
Lees - 6 - a couple of lapses
Loovens - 6 - two misplaced headers
Dielna - 5 - mistake for second goal
Maguire - 6 - good second half, won & scored penalty
Semedo - 6 - struggled first half, better second half
Lee - 5 - never in game, at fault for first goal, took yellow card for team
Maghoma - 7 - great second half, took yellow card for team
Nuhui - 4 - hit bar but otherwise poor
May - 4 - made runs, robbed of goal by poor linesman decision
.........................................................
Helan - 4 - barely involved
Hutchinson - 3 - brainless, clear red card
Baker - 6 - late chance blocked
Bolton were maybe a bit lucky that Pratley didn't get a red card for a double yellow but his second offence wasn't as violent as Hutchinson's.
We were out thought tactically & we didn't have any drive in the first half. This has been the cause of many dropped points at home this season. It was made worse this time because of individual errors.
Our season looks as though to will end by early March with mid table assured. Our only goals at home since November have been penalties and we lack the guile to break down solid defences. Ten days break to maybe bed in a new system.
RE: Match Thread - Bolton Wanderers - St Charles Owl - 18-01-2015
I would also imagine that Hutchinson was a little off the pace of a real game, making thee tackles even worse. Not seen the goals or "non-goal" yet but everyone seems to agree that May's was a good goal, that frustrating but we shouldn't have been in that situation anyway!!
You are spot on with the subs MS, said on the match thread that it was a surpise taking Maghoma off when the change in formation had seen him being much more effective!!! The subs basically took us back to 442 and the system that hadn't worked in the first half and took all the momentum away from us after starting the 2nd half much better. Naive tactice by SG!!!
I am hoping the break we now have will be used to good effect and allow the introduction of Baker into the team full time. He has looked good in the small amount of time he has played so far and certainly seems more capable of getting forward to support the forwards. I would prefer to see him in a midfield with Semedo/Hutchinson in front of the back four and Maghoma and baker in front of him.

SG had plenty of excuses & he made sure in his post match interviews that he used them all. He had a point regarding the disallowed May goal but his argument was poor regarding the Hutchinson red card. Clearly he was deflecting attention away from his poor choice of formation, his substitutions & motivation of the players.
