SillyBilly Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I'm knackered just watching that, the intensity from both sides I don't think I've ever seen a half as frantic as that. Would normally say wait for the side playing like that to tire but we're both chasing down everything so be interesting to see how second half shapes up; can't see that pace being sustained. Both sides certainly up for it. Miggins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Frantic, low quality, lot of effort, it's a good game for league 1 though. Glad we got a bit of joy at the end of the half, think we'll grow into the second half more as Bolton were giving it the "try really really hard" all half. We just need to not bugger it up in the first 5 minutes of the second half, which I've just cursed (sorry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Off the ball, we were superb throughout the first half. For all their huffing and puffing and home support, we restricted them to half-chances. On the ball, we were terrible for the first 35 minutes. Terrible decision making, hopeless lumps forward to non-existent runs in behind and Collins completely isolated up front. We finished the second half the better side when Sibley was able or was instructed to play 10 yards further up the pitch. Barkhuizen suddenly had someone making overlapping runs or a reason to drift inside into the half space. Ramarena 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggins Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Horrid conditions to play in. Hope there is hot chocolate and lots of warm towels at half time. Those lads are soaked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far he is fairing OK and getting forward plenty. I doubt Roberts is thinking he should be a shoe in to replace Sibs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was handed on a plate to him by the oppo... but it did take him by surprise... and he was either off balance, at full stretch, or wrong footed? ?♂️ On target... which is always first priority... but weak enough not to worry the keeper. I'm not dissing the lad, just for clarity, merely keeping the readers updated. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 What did the sky pundits think of the penalty claim ? Looked a definite foul probably in the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Decent half considering Bolton came flying out of the blocks and are playing well. We’ve limited their chances, but our midfield need a get a grip on their movement. Knight is providing a physical presence and Bird is trying, but Hourihane is poor on and off the ball. We haven’t created much, but we look threatening when we get the ball in the channels and wide areas, we need to exploit this more and hopefully NML picks up as he hasn’t looked his usual self. Otherwise it’s alright and hopefully we can take control in the 2nd half as Bolton tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Good job knight is there to help Bird and hourihan - looks like a game to be won by a bounce of the ball or a crap referee decision Ramarena 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like one of those that would never be given live but maybe by VAR. Edited December 27, 2022 by Duracell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's putting his foot in and making himself known, one or two good passes. Hope Santa brings us a RB for Christmas. ?

Oh don’t get me started on that . A foul can continue inside the box even if it starts outside. It was certainly a foul no question.

Yes I think Warne keeps him on just in case he can produce a screamer but for me I would take him off he’s looked off it for weeks.
