Excellent win

Watched till HT...excellent ball by Headley and Hall showed what he can do

Their 19 should have been booked first half for a shirt pull on Hall

Sour grapes Borlton

Tell em they are the first team we've beaten at home in the league  this season who had 11 players on the pitch all match !  Also I think it is the first time we've beaten Bolton at Home in the league since Noah was a lad . 

I think it was the season Walker strolled through and scored in injury time

I know we won in the FA Cup away when Riley broke his leg

We've beaten them 5 times in 47 games

My first game, Walker smashing it home. Been hooked ever since.

Ray Walker has a lot to answer for 😂

Going back to Connor Hall….. Has there been a better defensive performance in 90 minutes in recent memory?

I can’t think of one.

Whatever he had for lunch, may he have it for the remaining games. 
 

The notion that our goal was "route one" which I always think implies an aimless punt of a pass is very misleading, it was an excellent long range pass.

Nothing wrong with being "direct" every now and again.  I've seen some great passes miss out the midfield over the years.

Ray Walker. Absolute class. 

This game of football kills me. I buggered off on holiday instead of watching the Huddersfield game after the Bradford debacle and then watch the Bolton game. It's like watching a different team. What a performance! What a contrast!

I must admit Bolton must be high in the ratings of teams i want to see fail but met a few of their fans tonight and enjoyed their company. 

Agree with the Halls being MOTM but big shout out to Headley. Cracking performance and that pass was sublime. We may not make it but I think JB is rotating the squad to give us our best chance. Come on the Vale

I never pay too much mind to those who slag off Brady. There's a clear and demonstrable improvement with him in charge and that's with a few key injuries and a botched together team. I think he's doing a great job to be honest and I have faith in him for next season.

100% It’s also embarrassing when those with really strong, vitriolic, “I know better than you” posts who wrote him off, play the moaners Trump card of being able to just say “oh I’m glad I’m wrong” and continue on as if they weren’t being a total t*t when they were doing it!

Don't know about us fouling them at will, it was the other way round!

We beat Sunderland at home, if Bolton are arrogant enough to think we will be a push over we will be in with a chance. Football is a funny old game...

Just saying... 😄

Nine Minutes of injury time, I think we`ve got dark forces at work. Maybe Bolton were supposed to win. The dark forces will be looking to punish us on Tuesday.

Yeah I don’t like talking like this but it’s easier after we’ve won but it felt like when that was announced the fix was in. Thankfully it came to nothing.

I see Mr Schumacher has blamed the pitch.

 

is he chewing a wasp or are those grapes a bit off?

Pitch, pitch, pitch, 9 men behind the ball, pitch, pitch, play remaining 7 on better pitches, pitch, pitch, red card, free kick, pitch, pitch, pitch. TOSS!🤣
