If Reading get a points deduction we might still stay up 😄

There is no way the EFL will give Reading a points deduction again.  They had chances and bottled it this season.  

But I love the optimism.  

[Bolton (A) match thread - 20th April]

There you go.  Finally they have found the goal.

See how they react now.

[Bolton (A) match thread - 20th April]

Wow.  A Vale player sticking up and supporting another Vale player.  That is never heard of this season.  Tad too late tho.

Looks like the Bar will win man of the match for us, playing a blinder.

Also the 2 insides of the posts as well.

Weird as it seems, but can see Bolton throwing this game away as they have too much choice and playing flowing football all over the pitch.  Their fans have gone quiet as Derby are winning now.

We may get a shot at the goal and it goes in and we nick a win.  It's the hope that kills you.

Burton 3 - 2 Reading now.

The wages and paying them is down to Carol. 

You would think Fraudcroft had the wage matrix and said this is what we can offer from talks with Carol.  Yes Carol would sign off the agreement as owner.

We're down with a win regardless. Burton aren't doing a Vale and collapsing. 

Just the hope we may have a chance on goal and would be good to score against them.  I know it will never happen, but its the hope we all have. 🤪

Dacres-Cogley for them is everything you want in a wingback. Steep learning curve for Jack against him. Think we were linked with him in the summer not that he’d have ever chosen us over Bolton.

According to Fraudcroft we were linked with loads of players till they saw the wages being offered and went to other clubs.

[Bolton (A) match thread - 20th April]

Noooooooooooo Chislett limping.  Please be okay.

Him and Garrity are the only ones who may score for us.

Shunters are doing everything to throw their season away now.

Christ just seen the stats. Thought we knew we needed to win!

Vale players are using the tactic, give Bolton too much choice when passing, they choose the wrong one a lot of the time.  🤣

[Bolton (A) match thread - 20th April]

Carol - Bolton are Championship ready.  That is the level you need to achieve.  We are non-league ready at the moment. 😡

Well I’m not sure how but we’ve made it to halftime level. Bolton fair play when they step up the pace look everything we were promised we’d be at the start of the season and didn’t transpire.

We did it by giving the players too much choice which pass to make and a lot of the time it was the wrong choice for Bolton.  A tactic that seems to be working for us.  🤣

Also having the forcefield fitted to our goal line to stop the ball going over was phenomenal.  🤪

[Bolton (A) match thread - 20th April]

Thank god, we are giving Bolton to many decisions on what pass they can make and most of them are wrong ones or we would be losing by a few goals now - it seems to be working for us.  They just have to much choice with players free against our feeble side.

Lincoln have equalised and Burton getting Nervy Maybe.

It could go to Next Week Yet ?

Stop it.  The fat lady has started singing we are going down and you know we are.

[Bolton (A) match thread - 20th April]

Debrah mistake - rebound hits Ripers - hits the post - hits the other post and does not go in.

Thank you forcefield for stopping the ball going in.  🤣

 

[Bolton (A) match thread - 20th April]

Sums it all up really.  16-18 year olds doing better than the older experienced players have done.

Just shows how good our recruitment has been over the past 2 years.  Let the better players go and recruit players who are gash.  No strikers as they didn't fit the matrix and refused to pay a little bit more to get them.  

What's the word for it - Phenomenal. 😡 🤪

Big Uche is an absolute fukin powerhouse! Shame he doesn’t bag many goals 🤣

Thought you would also mention his phenomenal first touch, like many of the Vale players as well.  🤪

[Bolton (A) match thread - 20th April]

Has any one told Debrah we are not playing in white today.  Keeps passing the ball to a player in white.

Cheltenham now as well. Amazing what sides at the bottom can do when they have a go. 

And they used the transfer window to bring in players to improve the squad.  Strange that.

It's been all over for months now tbf

Half way through the season, there were signs the squad were in trouble and relegation was a real possibility.  Sealed and relegation position was confirmed when the transfer window closed and no strikers brought in that could be called a striker.  We got a couple of players in that haven't even played for the club and other players that did not improve the team at all.  Thank you Carol and Fraudcroft.
