Official Match Thread Bolton Wanderers v Southend United

Yup, miss a couple of good chances and get punished. Time and time again.

 

[superblue24]

well that's that.... next game please

 

[Barling Magna]

Couldn't be a worse time for Bolton to score.

We’re never going to compete with a donkey like Goodship up front. Need to get this embargo sorted this week so we can potentially have someone that can finish up top. If we don’t get it sorted this week, we face an impossible task.

 

[Jcd]

So annoying

 

[Chalky]

Not just the clearance, Hobson is slow and doesn't detect that John White is stuck with 2 Bolton players unmarked.

 

[Ted]

Poorly given away by Olayinka. Hobson out of position White has two men to mark and it falls onto a Bolton head and into the corner.

 

[Shrimper]

Harsh, deserved to be level at HT

 

[gazza]

One day, yes one day. We will score a goal from our chances.

 

[Barling Magna]

I just knew we were going to concede in the final minute......Bolton's first attempt on target.

 

[D1versity]

Did so well at the back all half ... don’t take chances up top going to concede

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

It does show again how much we need Akinola and the other striker next week. Brandon tries, but he’s not a lone striker at this level (yet). He could be if he got the bit between his teeth and started scoring regularly - confidence is a big issue for him at the moment. We can’t afford to wait though, so we need the cavalry and quick.

 

[Floval Flyer]

Sums up our season.

 

[gazza]

If we don't lift the embargo this week then it will be so depressing.

 

[Sufc.2008]

It’s even more annoying as we’ve played well and created chances. We just find it impossible to finish the chances... although that’s not a new problem, it’s been the same all season!

 

[Danshrimper]

We are improving but that’s useless when nobody can finish.

 

[hlane17]

Oh no! What was Olayinka doing with that clearance!!

Hate to see him wasted out wide though. He should be on the bench IMO if he's not playing through the middle.

 

[Ted]

Id be making a change at half time! Need some pace upfront desperately. Get Sterling on, surely he's got to be better??

 

[MisterStubbs]

Not for the first time this season, we’ve more than matched our opponents. Bolton look nothing special and before the goal we actually had the better of the opportunities but unfortunately our striker couldn’t score on a brothel. Tough to see how we get back in to this game now.

We are improving but that’s useless when nobody can finish.

I'm not sure what we expect when playing 1 up top. Joke
