There's Clarke's first total fuck up in front of goal for the season.

Paudie's distribution hasn't been great but his defensive work has been exceptional today tbf to him, this is the kind of level I expected to see from him last year.

Normal service has been resumed. Staunton tackles nobody, AOC's lovely set up.

Well, that was better than expected. Some decent performances there.

Played well: Guthrie Pritchz French* AOC
*not sure if he was told to try and play a million positions at once or not but thought he did well. Didn’t need to do much one on one defending because that all seemed to come down Woods side.
Novak did ok too. Nice assist from AOC but I’m not sure about relying on CBs to put crosses in after a pull back from a crowded out WB. Was a bit disappointed with Watt. Not especially bad, or great, just a bit anonymous.
Doncaster will be a better test. Interested how we line up. I’d have though French would knackered after today and Tuesday doesn’t give much recovery time.

First real game in 8 days now, no sign of any incomings 4-1 defeat with a Doyle Hat Trick and a week of 6 fingered Lancastrian sister shaggers invading our social media. Great start Alternatively... A decent display by the boys. It will be a long hard season with a thin squad but passed with purpose and got numbers in the box.

Not betting on the first game of the season. Even Mickey's lot won their first game of the campaign. Undeservedly against Shrewsbury I think. We aren’t winning this; we’re shit and unfit. I’ve even backed Bolton on a -2 handicap. We’re getting shat on. Boys done good.

Actually decent display. Honestly surprised by that (although I was so sure we were gonna fuck it at the end)
French was good, guthrie was good, watt was good.
Apart from about 20mins after half time it felt like we were the better team.
Not getting hopes up though. Bolton have so many new players they are pretty much like an early pre season side. We only scraped it and could have easily fucked it up. We brought on Donaldson who looks just dogshite

Much better than I expected. Still need to strengthen in the areas we talked about, but we actually looked like a properly coached side.
Watt looks decent, Staunton looks raw but has potential, French could offer something.
Let's be honest, as shit as we are, this league is fucking dire.

Didn't watch it didn't listen to it but on paper that's a good result. Can't get carried away on that result though but much better than I thought would happen.

We had a great start to the season in 2018 too.
Yes - we had a good victory today and a pretty good performance as well. A good start, and something to build on for the league games. But let's not be sucking anyone off just yet.

Thought we looked decent. Bolton were shocking. The game was pretty slow paced early season affair but Bolton looked really pedestrian.
French looked good as did Watt and I agree about Staunton as in he’s raw and capable of a bollock but has definite potential. Onto the bad: Novak looked wank as did Donaldo when he came on. Clarke was awful.
In conclusion I won’t be backing Bolton for the league.

Nobody played badly, hopefully this is a sign of the shite from the Rahic era finally working its way out of the club.
