    It really isn't unusual for footballers to appeal for things that didn't happen, is it? Bolton players appealed for both the penalty and Wildsmith's sending off at their place and we know that neither decision was correct.
    I think they were guessing about contact as much as I am about whether they actually saw contact. As I say, the ball didn't slow down, speed up or deviate as it passed "through" Waggy, so only he knows if ball touched skin and it didn't affect the flight of the ball or Bolton's chances of clearing it.

    So, a hard fought win against a fellow promotion rival, only 1 point behind us, is a stinker and relegation candidate type of performance? Comedy gold.
    What on earth do you mean “Bolton are by all accounts a +1.5 side, maybe a +2”? And by who’s account?

    Right - now you’ve done condescending somebody who was there as he is every match I’ll refer you to xG which showed us having a higher xG.
     
    They had that shocking miss from the header - we had Curtis miss a free header from 8 yards in between the posts. 
    They had that shot Wildsmith saved well. We had our goal. 
     
    Chances were few and far between. Other than their chance in the first half and the last 2 minutes of injury time we were completely comfortable until half time despite losing our focal point. 
     
    They played a better brand of football and on another day they take one of their two big chances and we find it tough. On another day we score the header from Curtis and it puts more pressure on them. 
     
    At the end of the day they had to bring the game to us. A draw wouldn’t have cut the mustard for them whereas a draw would have been fine for us. 
     
    Look back at my previous posts since about November 2022 to find my thoughts on our performances under Warne. Im certainly not a happy clapper. Im vocally critical but we did an absolute number on Bolton yesterday.

    My sincere apologies for not being precise enough, it registers it as a 0.0something.
     
    It should count as good as a goal for analysis purposes, it was a matter of inches and the kepper was beat.
     
    No unbalanced inaccurate assessments especially after unjust results.

    Maybe it was win #9 where we weren't the better side this season, but you don't mention the times when we haven't got the points we have deserved. So you can offset those 18 points with others that we have lost.
    It's sickening reading your one sided anti Derby posts all the time, without any sense of balance.
    We didn't deserve the win on chances yesterday, but the defence and the keeper did their job and kept a clean sheet, unlike the Bolton defence giving Wilson a free header. That's football, no lucky deflections or terrible decisions unlike the away game, just our players scoring more goals than theirs did.
    On Tuesday we were much dominant than Bolton were yesterday, but were helped by some decisions that went our way.
    However, the are the same people on here who say that we shouldn't have won on Tuesday because we only won because we had lucky breaks despite dominating the game, Then the same people say that we shouldn't have won yesterday because we didn't dominate the game, you can't have it both ways.
    Anyway, I've had enough and for the first time, i'm resorting to putting you on ignore.

    Yes, but those two are on the near side where they would not have been able to see any contact between the ball and Waghorn's arm. The two standing right adjacent to Waghorn with a clear view of the ball didn't appeal at all which is strange if they saw it touch his arm. I think those appealing were perhaps just assuming it touched his arm. I don't doubt though that VAR would have disallowed it because any ball to hand review seems to favour the appellants.
    Compared to the refereeing controversies in the first game though, this is minor because the ball was going in the net anyway.

    That particular “hitting the bar” wasn’t as close as you can get to a goal. It bounced on the top of the bar so it wasn’t heading into the goal.

    What would bring you joy in football? It appears beating a promotion rival in what was essentially an evenly balanced game isn’t the answer. Here’s how I saw it as someone who likes seeing their team win football Matches, with some of the stats I can find online to support my view…

    - The team we all (supposedly) support showed grit and determination to earn a key result yesterday, big plus for me there.

    - The possession stats are fairly even (44% to us 56% to them) which backs up what I saw during the game, they had spells with the ball and we had spells with the ball.
    - The attempts on goal, well we had 10 shots with 3 on target and they had 6 shots with 3 on target, so they didn’t create massively more than we did in terms of attempts which tallies with what I saw yesterday.

    - 6 corners and 1 yellow card a piece, pretty balanced there.
    - we made a total of 280 passes with 62% accuracy, they made a total of 385 with 67% accuracy so they won there…I did however notice our players intentionally standing off their defence and allowing them to have the ball which seems a tactical decision to allow them the ball, so my simple observation there is we allowed them to pass it more and they didn’t do much with it…
    - the stats I’ve found say we had 1 big chance each and missed 1 big chance each…. Balanced again.
    - we had 3 blocked shots, they had 1. Our keeper made 3 saves, theirs made 2. So while our keeper was busier they blocked some of our efforts which could have resulted in their keeper making more saves…
    - we made 9 interceptions to their 3 and 32 clearances to their 25, backing up the work our defence did to keep them out.
    - we scored 1 goal, they score 0.
    So in summary, as I thought yesterday and still today having looked over the numbers, it was a balanced game between two teams at this level, both had chances, both defended well, each side approached the game slightly different to the other and we scored from a set piece to win…. Hooray!

    Everyone who pays for a seat should have the right to watch the match without someone standing up in front of them. A lot of people cannot stand, and children have got no chance of seeing the game. To me the people that block views are very selfish.

    Fairs mate. I think most on here would be happy to see Pompey promoted too, assuming we make the cut also. Your lot have been THE most consistent side in the division and having been bang there pretty much all season, I'd like to think that your long wait will finally be coming to an end this season. I still want us to knock you off top spot mind!

    Decided to read through the thread after hearing the inspiring albeit sad tale of your recently passed young supporter. This post popped out. 
     
    Year after year we’ve had close calls with promotion and have thrown it away.  Even now with the lead we have I won’t believe we are promoted until it’s mathematically safe. 
     
    After hearing the story about B4 I genuinely hope it’s Pompy and Derby who go up in the automatics. What a fitting tribute that would be for someone who was obviously well loved by this forum and had a good heart.

    I knew as soon as you mentioned “deserved” that @ap04 would give you a clapping hand. 😀
    Seriously though, yes you created the better chances and, on the whole, played the better football. BUT, you failed to score (as you say, either due to some poor finishing or great goal keeping) whereas we did. Therefore, you “deserved” to lose. Maybe our goal would have been ruled out if we had VAR (maybe not though given his arm wasn’t in an unnatural position and the ball was heading into the empty net anyway I’m not sure you could say he “scored” the goal) But, if that is your only case for not deserving to lose, would you concede that we didn’t deserve to lose at your place given the foul for your penalty was outside the box (just) and Wildsmith shouldn’t have been sent off?

    If you watch the goal in real time, you can't even tell whether or not it touched Waghorn's arm. The ball didn't slow down or deviate and there was no Bolton player behind Waghorn being prevented from blocking the header. I suspect that Still has either been doctored or is an optical trick caused by the Still being taken just before Waghorn moved his arm slightly. No Bolton player appealed, so they clearly didn't see it hit Waghorn's arm either. A slow- motion replay would be more trustworthy.
    Regardless, the ball was going in the net.

    Everyone knows we’re more of an away team. A record equalling 12 wins (so far) attests to that. 
    it’s about time we had some good fortune. I wouldn’t agree Waghorn ‘handled’ the ball. It brushed between his hand and his leg. Hardly intentional! 
    If we think back to the Sheffield Wednesday match, last game of the season; a really soft penalty given against Curtis Davies, yet at the same end Fozzy was literally thrown to the ground at a corner. No pen, obviously. 
    Then the refs blunder at Bolton. 
    Yes, it is time some things went our way.

    I’d be embarrassed about being a Bolton fan coming on here talking about how they battered us: xG was 0.46 to 0.49. 
    They were unlucky not to get a draw, but sideways passing between the centre backs, occasionally rotating into midfield and back to the centre backs, isn’t exactly the ‘battering’ you think it might be.
