It has been all Bolton for the last 20 minutes. Wolves are doing everything they can to hold on to this slender lead.
And there's the final whistle! FT: Bolton 1-1 Wolves Wolves played much better today, but will feel a disappointed not to get all three points today. However, a point is well-deserved and maybe they can use it as a building block for the rest of the season.
Feel lucky you got a point, we were the worst I've seen us play in ages in the first half and yet all you could muster was one shot on target (admittedly it was a *#*#*#*#ing ace goal). In the second half we were a shitload better and had chance after chance after chance, it was only the fact that you had a 1-0 lead that allowed you to sit back with 10 men behind the ball.
He took the piss out of your team, very wasted indeed. How much money did Jack Hayward waste on getting into the Premiership? Oh dear....
Prenn, At least Wolves had a lead, unlike you lot playing 10 men behind the ball for the entire match against Newcastle.
Of course not, but you shouldn't be criticizing another club for using the same philosophy, albeit in a situation that didn't work.
