We weren't that great at Bolton, they only woke up after ash's pen miss and then scored 2 goals whilst in 2nd gear

Wolves played well on Saturday and it should have been more than 0-1

Don't re-write history.

Offensively we were excellent at Bolton. If we'd have scored 6 then nobody could have complained. We had three high balls to defend all game and fluffed them, which is why we are where we are.

The Wolves were garbage. They defended resolutely against our clueless play. But excellent? Save the hyperbole.

That is correct.

There's no need to rewrite history, anyway, after all, it's not as if there aren't already enough absolutely shit things to point at.

Every time I think of the Bolton goals in my head, I accidently jump the the Britannia Stadium, where the winning goal was caused by the same problem. And that was in September.

Same for Fulham away too.

Boils my piss.

Bolton was an impressive display overall, and we should have been 4 up by half time.

The defensive lapses cost us the game, and it seems to have knocked the confidence out of the players.

And It's the manager's job to knock it back into them.  He's failed.

That's been the case pretty much all season and eventually it has a corrosive impact on team spirit.

What's the point in scoring x amount of goals when we'll ship at least as much if not more.
