Said it many times before, i never comment on team selection prior to a game because your words could come back to haunt you. It was rather amusing reading the pre match comments on this thread.

Just got back šŸ˜… very apprehensive on the drive up and dreading the drive back tbh. But that was a glorious though long day. Pivotal moments went our way. If a Grimmy hadnā€™t pulled off that worldie in the first half could well have been a different game. Bees in acres of space but superb finish. Bolton were wide open much of the game, albeit they were chasing it for 70 mins. Great counter attacking too. Lavery and Bees before Joseph - WTF? But Bees was arguably MOM. Lavery off at HT worked in our favour. Coulson and Byers great games. They are making a difference as is Jordans return. UTMP

Read earlier comments, it seems a few confused the subs. Coulson played centre mid (very well in my opinion) and Byers was the left 'wing back'. Coulson was replaced by Morgan in the second half.

To make it even more confusing they swapped shirts so the names and numbers were on different players.
 
Sublime, brilliant, heartfelt, wonderful..... you suggest a superlative and it applies to this great piece of writing. Thanks for making me feel as if I was there and experiencing the game, I could smell the pies and taste the bovril by the end of your article.
 
Just seen a slow motion of the pen from the camera on the East. Very clear pen and red card. Santos clattered through the back of Joseph taking his legs and didn't get the ball. It has been posted on the Bolton site by a fan who agrees
 
Great day. Still buzzing with it. Thought we started slow and feared the worst when they went 1-0 up.
Soon turned it around though didnā€™t we. What a performance and day to remember.

Sore head today- anyone else? Poulton was buzzing last night.

Same gameā€¦.ā€someā€ passing was good but his 1st 4 passes of the match either went to the opposition or into touch and I lost count of the number of times he was bungled off the ball all to easilyā€¦..so instead of keeping the momentum going our way, it put us potentially into trouble and on back foot. 5/10 at best for me.

Didnā€™t he assist in 3 of the 4 goals ?
Bolton fan I spoke to said he was different class to anyone else on the pitch .

Coulson played the ball to Husband for the goal - which is the only forward contribution heā€™s made. He should be making those types of runs.

He also gave the ball away for the goal.

We constantly got undone down that side and Coulson was nowhere to be seen.

We looked miles better in defence and attack when Lyons came on.

George Byres passed the ball out of defense to Thomason not Coulson

FotMob stats say Kaddy's pass success rate was 14/17 hmm?
Dispossessed 2 hmm?.
Chances created 6 hmm?
Assists 2 hmm?
You're right he was sh1t. šŸ˜‚

Despite the "stats" I believe Coulson was subbed after Byers (15) who went off at half time with Lavery - our Number 7 is the new Dougall! Not sure why folk thought Lyons outstanding - I didn't think so

I've been critical of Lyons but despite some loose passes (8/15) I thought he did well yesterday and looked strong in the tackle, the one thing I'd said he needed to work on.
Well done Andy.
Definitely one for the future.

I'm amused every week reading back the match thread as I'm doing now. šŸ˜
 
I'd like to thank the North Stand for keeping everyone entertained with the comedy chants about Ian Evatt hating Bolton.

I've not laughed so hard in a long time.

Onwards. #utmp
