Bolton Wanderers FC

Even though we shouldn't be surrending a 2-goal lead to any team outside the top 5, I'm still trying to maintain a positive outlook. I'd have taken a point prior to the game and I still firmly believe the remaining fixtures will provide enough opportunities to rack up enough points to maintain our place in the Premier League, but this was still a disappointment. Good to see our 2 top scorers this season adding to their tally and good to see another fine Jussi display. Not so good to see us clinging on for dear life at the end and definitely not good to see the amount of flak Megson took (more of that in a separate post).

Some interesting team selections too. Puygrenier starting in place of Andy O'Brien? Makukula starting again, even though he was blowing out of his arse after an hour? Basham (deservedly so) starting again? Mark Davies coming off the bench in place of Makukula to make his debut? I'm not having a pop at Megson here - just interesting talking points...

Another big game to come at home to Spurs on Saturday. Normally I'd settle for a point in that one too but we have to be aiming to beat Harry's mob. Hopefully he'll undermine their confidence by severely slagging off another 3 or 4 of his first team squad over the next day or two. Go on 'Arry, there's a good boy...
