[Archived] Bolton 0 Rovers 1

[vyeo]

yesssssssssss!!! it may be only a 1-0 win, but we were never really threatened at all; brad did not even have a single save to make. i thought everybody played well, but my man of the match has to be flitty. he's looked resurgent recently, and today he was everywhere. every ball that came at the defence, flitty was there to intercept and just hoof it clear. his passing also seems to have improved lately, more precise than i ever remember. and also, another clean sheet! more of the same against villa please.

first win at Bolton for 40years.

Beattie to be sold according to 'Arry

good game rovers played ok and done what they needed check out the goal if you can later on motd, well at least we can overtake bolton when we beat arsenal tommorrow see i have a sence of humor

[American]

Bolton is reminding me of Citeh last year. Started so well, then barely survived at the end.

[yellowsubmarine]

Its could have been 3-0, if Stead's header dint struck the woodwork and Reid hasnt miss that open chance in the dying minutes.

But all in all, im satisfied with a 1-0 win. And i must mention Todd was majestic in defence!

[Flopsy]

How many points we on now then?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

why wait to see what the score is today, you need to be there for your team and support them, not go depending on results

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

A great win today and one that we have certainly been threatening for some time. We have moved up a position to 15th I think. Hughes has certainly done a good job so far and a win will only make the team better. Also, great to see another clean sheet, the defence is doing so much better.

[Bobby G]

Best feeling ever when we win.

Dammit it was nerve wracking.

Lets hope we avoid defeat at Villa and that would be a good result.

Spilt milk really but a win over the Magpies would have seen us level on points with Soueys men!

A bloody lass rang me up so I missed the excitement of hearing the final whistle after winning today!

Excellent win for us and yet ANOTHER clean sheet.

Surely our defence is now on par with the Italian defences!

[Bobby G]

No we would have been level.

[philipl]

Four points, three places and a superior goal difference above 18th is a very happy place to be compared with what we were all fearing after the 0-4 at Chelsea. (Nice to see Liverpool are a goal up against Southampton).

A great achievement at Bolton considering Brad was not needed for any heroics.

Bolton must be relieved that the bottom four are so poor that they can lose six on the trot (ho ho) and still not be in any real danger.

[blue/white]

So nervewracking to listen to that on Radio Rovers....

whew !

MH & the lads deserve a huge hand - I wish Stead had had better luck on his finish... you saw how it effected his game from that point forward.

(or is that a load of cobblers?) It seemed like it took him completely out of the match.

Let's hope this form continues in the back- everything is much simpler if we don't bleed goals.

I never remember the ending either!

...then newcastle might actually be good

But yes, good win, 2000th post, and I can't think of anything better to use it on then to celebrate a win over some rivals.
