[Archived] Bolton Game 0-1

[Flopsy]

A goal if it comes will come from a mistake not any skill.

nice to see Rovers pass it on the deck

[Flopsy]

free kicks looking slightly dangerous (MGP taking them)

[American]

To be fair, it does sound like we've had a couple of good shots

[Morph]

Listening to the commentry on Five live. Alan Green really doesn't like Savage.

[Flopsy]

Steve Bennet (Ref) with excellent ball winning tackle for Bolton

[Flopsy]

Excellent run by Thompson from Rovers third, great pass to Bothroyd , good cross, cleared (flukily) by defender.

Sav makes excellent tackle to stop Doiuff ( im going for as many spellings of Spit as possible)

Okacha turns Neill inside out gets to teh byline and

passes straight back to lucas - shocking - we should sign him

Listening to the commentry on Five live. Alan Green really doesn't like Savage.

he slagged him off in his zoo weekly column this week

failed to mention how idiotic birmingham had been mind, or what ferguson was doing to us

[Flopsy]

Just tempting fate but bolton look iffy at the back

[USRoverME]

some days comentating must be so difficult, watch sports, say whatever comes to mind, and if you get bored, start listing off where people are from.... so difficult

[Flopsy]

HT - Rovers win on chances - no real saves to take note of other than Neills mid way through the half

Rovers edging it - I think Dickov would have got one by now

[brfcshabba]

Any chance of Stead coming on?

Just a brief half time update for those not at the match / without sky.

A pretty boring match. Pedersen had a very quiet opening as Bolton controlled the game but as we came back into it and moved to dominate play, Pedersen has been at the heart of anything creative with some very good corners and free kicks. Gallagher is playing well and holding the ball up when its actually played to FEET. Bothroyd has been pretty poor and isn't winning anything in the air, although he pulled off an excellent move to nearly work out a chance for himself. Neill has played well and Savage is certainly breaking up the midfield well, although I'm very worried he's going to be sent off. Mokoena has looked very edgy and hasn't dealt with a few balls. Todd, to the contrary, has been rock solid without making a single mistake. Cut out the long ball and play it to Thompson - he's made two great runs but has been a bystander for a lot of the half.

probably - but if i had one criticism of Hughes in the past month or so is his timing of substitutions - however hes proved me wrong before - what other strickers are on teh bench ?

I'd agree with that.

Bolton haven't really looked dangerous, and after 20 minutes we really settled down and started to become the better team. Having said that we haven't created any clear cut chances. Knowing my luck this will mean Bolton come out and have a stormer, or we come out and have a shocker, have a bad feeling if it stays like this though we will be the team to concede, anyway, hopefully we can get a goal.
