What about the huge gigantic positive we’re a net 2nd whatever happens with games in hand with 6 games left!!! That’s an excellent position to be in, let’s face it had we won today some fans would literally be popping the champagne corks thinking it’s done. Today is hugely frustrating but nothing more given the position we were in before the game, it’s in our hands.
Injuries are a blow and hope NML isn’t too bad but positives, CBT looked good, Collo is soon to be back, and injury/suspension means he probably has to play a back 4 now for the final few games.

Didn’t we have 3 clean sheets out of the last 4 before yesterday? 

Our best period of the game in the first half Hourihane was orchestrating it. Not really sure what other midfield he could’ve picked with the injury situation. The injury situation definitely isn’t helping - it’s horrific.
Everyone bangs on about not blooding youngsters. Maybe as bucko said they’ve not taken the opportunity. I’ve seen people think Cybulski should’ve been given a run - he’s now playing non-league. You can also play youngsters too early e.g Whittaker.
We weren’t on it yesterday but still could’ve won on chances. We move on and hope for performances like against Vale Bristol and Reading where we were excellent and played nice football in those games

Here we go, the world has caved in for some after today’s defeat, just as it did after back to back defeats and awful performances to Barnsley and Charlton just a few weeks ago. How did we respond? By winning 4 in a row, including our 3 best performances of the season back to back before Bolton. We’re still in a fantastic position, it’s in our hands with 6 games to go and we have enough winnable games to get over the line. 
We were never going to win all these games points were always going to be dropped and will be dropped by other teams. Frustrating as it’s an opportunity missed just like Barnsley and Charlton were but that would’ve been a ridiculous run of wins at this stage in the season. 
That said other than 15 minutes in the first half before they scored when we couldve scored 3 we were poor today, one of those days where you need to take your chances and hopefully sneak a win. We barely conceded a chance and the ref played a huge part in their goal so while we didn’t play well I certainly don’t think we deserved to lose. 
Massive weekend ahead as it was always going to be. 4 points would be good and set us up well for the final 4 games. Think todays result means we need to beat Wycombe away now which will be tricky but it’s ours to lose. Hope we can get enough forward players fit to get us over the line, although thought CBT was a bright spark today and this could be his time. We need him.

Obviously the worst case scenario is we lose every game but don’t think that’s going to happen, so realistic worst case is we take 10 points from remaining 6 games, draw and defeat next weekend, defeat to the Wycombe scumbags (god I would love some pay back there), then win the last 3. That gives us 88 which with our GD means 89 will be needed. This means Bolton need 15 from their last 7 (which includes Stevenage A Pompey H Posh A) and Posh need 18 from their last 8 (which includes Orient A Oxford A Bolton H), all teams are also playing teams in heat of relegation battle which will make it difficult. I personally think anything over 89 points will start to make things difficult for others especially if we maintain our GD advantage.
Its going to go to the last game whereas if we’d won yesterday think we’d have had the chance to seal the deal early!! We’ll know a lot more next weekend but still nothing will be decided. Lots more twists and turns ahead.

watching the highlights there were a few chances, some missed and some cleared off the line
on another day we play badly a score a couple of those and win 2-1, we'd all be saying we don't care how we win long as we get the points at this stage 
Also the other top 6 teams have a tendency to f*** up just as much as we do 

Yes plenty of positives.
After we lost to Stevenage and Shrewsbury in October, if someone said with 6 games to go you'll be 4 points clear of 3rd. Every one of us would have taken it.
Infact every single one of us would have probably taken Bolton's position after those games.
Yes yesterday was poor, but if we'd taken those huge chances we win that game comfortably and we go away happy. 
We have more than enough to beat Blackpool at home. Bolton have a tricky game at Stevenage. Who knows we could be 7 points clear by next Friday night. 
Wycombe away is 2 and a half weeks away. We could have Gayle, Barkhuizen back for then.

Ooh look... more pages than the week old Bolton matchday thread already.  I wonder how we got on today.  Seems awfully popular!
 
👀

We were good for the 15 mins just before they scored, all our chances came in that period and Hourihane was orchestrating most of it, they get the goal from nothing with a huge helping hand from the ref, since then they’ve turned it into a scrap. When we move the ball quickly we look good need to get back to that period from 10-25 when we carved them open. 

Not sure how we’re losing. 3 guilt edged chances, Bradley should’ve done better good finish by Hoskins who is a class act at this level, but the ref had a huge part in that goal should’ve been a free kick for foul on wilson when we were on the attack. Ebou Adams has been a liability so far today, missed a sitter really careless on the ball a few times in dangerous areas putting us under pressure. Need to get back to how we were the 10 minutes leading up to their goal.
