Cheers,felt there was a huge improvement in terms of confidence, movement off the ball and variety of options. Keeper looked so much more assured than Stone I.M.O and  Harrison will be a real acquisition. Feeling much happier, enjoy your Sunday👍

I think Steven's presence is a large part of the difference that experience brings.

Reassuring for players and fans alike.

All stay calm and it permeates through the team and the stands.

Such an apparently intangible factor makes an enormous difference.

From the Bycars, it seemed like the ‘vocal’ element had congregated on the block closest to the Railway. Seemed to be a bit ‘edgy’ for some reason.

They were making some noise before ko but during the match I thought they were pretty quiet for such a big following.

I still think Walker is our most underrated player. Out for months, comes on in CM, plays some brilliant passes and controlled the game, then moved to the centre of the back 3 and marks a quality striker for the remainder. I mean how many quality cross field balls did he play today? For me, he has to play every week when fit. 

I agree but there were a couple of idiots in Lorne St who were moaning none stop about him and shouting for him to be taken off. Unbelievable Jeff!

The expected goal feast didnt happen, only sing when they are winning.

I thought their No 4 (notwithstanding the fact he should have been sent off as well), the guy wide right (No 21?), the forward who brought the save from Steven’s 1st half plus the goalie stood out for them. I also thought the No 9 they brought on was decent. 

I thought no 4 was there best player. Rolls Royce

With a name like he should be 😃

I did think that at the time, maybe our play silenced their crowd.

Last 2 home league games pulled in a total of 18500 fans, when was the last time that happened.

April and May Bristol and Newport. 19,900

Me too, although I found Colin Murray to be very smug.

Seems to be an upward trend.

Long may it last.

I'm becoming increasingly concerned that, as a non season ticket holder, I won't be able to get in!

The presenter has the charisma of a bag of quavers . As dull as dishwater and seems all rather awkward

Usually the first task of an away team.

The highlights on EFL show on ITV and the commentary around them is absolutely shocking.
They don't even show the header and great save from their goalkeeper.

Yes I agree shocking coverage. Stevens great early save, the first booking for Santos. Plus the tip over from Stevens and their keepers wonder save in the second half.

To top it off they said it was a tame game, ridiculous!

Very pleased with the new players. Look like a decent L1 squad now.

Keeper 👍

Ojo. the new Anthony Grant

Forrester. Very Promising

Harrison. Will trouble any defence

Massey. Love him

Just a thought once Massey and Worrall are fully fit who do you think will play in that right sided role?

Bolton fans have now started moaning because we put the disabled stand at the wrong end of the ground as far as they’re concerned.
