Lew-T Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 That wasn’t a side destined for the top tonight. Really sloppy performance with no real cutting edge, think we tested their keeper once? With Diedhiou’s header. For the amount of possession we had, we didn’t do nearly enough to win the game. Joe Bryan, you’ve got to do better than that. You looked beat from the off for their goal! Really disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthebling Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Its an old saying, but those are the games you have to be able to win in order to get anything out of this league. Once again we've come up way way short. Sad thing is, it doesn't seem a lack of quality; it was our lack of effort, desire and character tonight.

Alessandro Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 To be fair Bolton scored the only time they tested Steele. Without getting sucked into a blame game - I thought Maggers had a pretty shocking turn tonight. Looked anxious and vulnerable - was it his mis-control in the box that started the break they scored from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything missed timed he would have been off. Given they were 10 yards outside their own box at the time everyone would have said what a stupid sending off it would have been.

So ‘without getting sucked into a blame game", you’re going to name one player....and you’re not even sure who mIs-controlled it, but you thought you’d ask the question, just in case it was that one player.

One ball was going out for a goal kick and I thought here we go again, but he hoofed it right up in the air... well done mags ha ha. That and Kent were my in my positives from tonight!

Olé Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Agree with title of thread. Was painful. As it was on TV no match report from me, make do with this: One other comment. Hate to say this about such a close knit team but from the stands watching closely, felt like we had two different types of players, those for whom winning means everything (Korey, Brownhill, Flint literally running through walls, Reid mostly too) and those that are a bit more precious. Might just be a difference in composure but really felt like some players had to rally others. Shouldn't be happening in a game like this. As it was we created literally nothing.

Yes, IMO, I thought he looked nervy tonight, immediately springing to mind two poor clearances that put us in trouble - one which Bailey had to foul to stop the attack and he had a word with Maggers. I'm not a Maggers hater like many are, I just think he showed why LJ didn't start him tonight and if you can show me I was wrong about his touch in the box that led to the break i'm happy to apologise and you can save your head from that brick wall!

Could have looked like he was trying like shit to get back like Bobby Reid did. Why do we always back off so much. Ameobi has a good left foot. The commentator said City would be aware of it.

watkins1983 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Joe getting lots of stick for the goal. Gave the ball away in opposition half. Ameboi not pressed and was a great finish.

Up The City! Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 This is exactly the reason why I don't come on here after a defeat. We played quite well ffs, should have had possibly 2 pens but tonight we were missing that little bit of extra quality. I'm not too bothered by it. Onto the next one.

Robbored Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 LJ was very forthright post match. " Credit to Bolton but I'm disappointed with my team, they wanted it more than us. Players pulling out of tackles" No surprise he's pretty pissed off with his team but fair play for coming out and saying it as it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could/should have done better The goal scorer carried the ball sixty plus metres surrounded by a force field. No midfielder or defender attempted to deny the goalscorer space, delay his attack or dictate where he advanced. That is a team error that cost the game.
