I think we are all glad that's over. A good point.

Shocking performance though from start to finish. Kudos for Bradley Dack Sorting the team on the pitch whilst JDT and Remi did nothing.

We move on.

Ben needs to score there. We can't miss opportunities like that 😲
Just seen the match video. It took a high bounce but as you say he should have hit the target, it was a peach of a cross by hedges.
I forgot to predict too!πŸ™„

That was pretty crap. However I thought we would get beat so 1 point more than expected.

However, Bristol City are a lot crapper than previous seasons and after going 1 up, you really cannot have your keeper palming a pass-back shot straight to their striker.

kaminsky was only half he culprit for the goal. Mprton's attempted tackle was pathetic. He should have blocked him off.

I think it’s fair to say with Burnley and Sheffield out of sight for promotion we’ve got about 12 teams battling for the play off spots.
If we don’t get new blood in next week then I can’t see us sustaining a top 6 place.
We need a recognised goal scorer for one. Surely with JDT being one he can see how limited Vale and Gallagher are? We need a strong midfield enforcer to police our ball playing youngsters and a new keeper to put pressure on TK who’s made a couple of bad errors lately.
I’m still thinking of a midtable finish.

I think its strange that we keep playing Vale alone on top. To me he doesn't seem to be a target player or striker, more-like something in between midfield and attack and the only man for that job is Gallagher who is stuck on the bench. Yesterday we got nowhere except for two opportunities , one we scored and the other one our friend Ben should have done better, so we do not create a lot chances IΒ΄m afraid which is recurring problem this season. Our midfield is our weakest part of the team as it seems like they donΒ΄t know what do or how to act. Triangles, and turning around to play back to the defense is standard. Something needs to change here if we would like to compete about a play off place in the Championship.

Triangles on the edge of the opponents pen area work best for them. Speed of thought is the key to scoring goals. That's why we miss rothwell and Armstrong so much. Buckley and dack have vision and quick football brains, Dolan and markanday and even vale have quick feet Gallagher hasn't either. We do need a finisher. Have Tony Field or Simon Garner no grandsons?

You can see why other clubs would rather Stanley and fleetwood were out of the league. It's hardly a big payday when they come to town is it?
I don't know who is in charge of marketing at Bolton but we should offer him a kings ransom. Bolton haven't been so well supported home and away for 40 years!

I’ve said it a few times We need a proper centre forward Without one the whole team is unbalanced
