I don’t think Keane has touched the ball yet.

Sutekh I don’t think Keane has touched the ball yet.

He has about 3 times, gave it away at least once.

Greatwesternline We're quite bad at having throw ins in our own 3rd.

In many different eras I've always thought the same


Same. I know this sounds stupid but back in the 06/07 prem season I told my uni mates we weren't very good at throw ins, and that it felt like a routine you should be able to learn.


They are. We used to practise routines in a few key areas, but if you want some element of surprise and not running the same drill every time.

(TBF, in a different side, we had two big centre forwards and a guy who could absolutely ping a throw in half the pitch. Guess what happened there ... )

And that's what happens when you play f**king Southgate football trying to hold onto 1.

I do like Pereira but wish he had better judgement / was stronger in the air. He goes for most balls but is not always convincing - giving away the corner and conceding from it he could have done better on each.

Things that led to that goal.

Savage needlessly hoofing ball away to no one under no pressure, which leads to

Wing needlessly barging their player over, which leads to


Pereira mysteriously punching a non dangerous free kick out, which leads to


Pereira coming and missing a routine corner catch into his hands.


4 howlers one after another. At each stage us helping them towards the goal

Disappointing but got what we deserved. Would've been delighted with a point before the game, and gained a point on Hudds, so not all bad.

Appalling. Just what the hell was that utter cr@p that turned up in the second half, what did he say to them at HT.

It's gutting, but its a good result. Especially seeing as our second half tactic was just pass to Bolton.

Even if you want to be cautious, you need to have more composure to keep the ball and relieve pressure. We had so many opportunities to take the sting out and we always just gave it straight back. Savage was the worst offender, including the attack that led to the equaliser

No more than Bolton deserved, they were the better team throughout. what`s more concerning is the fact we`ve conceded 40 (15) shots on goal in the last two home games.
