Credit where it's due - that was much more like it.

Also credit to Marc Albrighton - stood on the terrace with the rest of us - happily chatting away with fans and posed for countless pictures.

Saw Sid stroll in just after the game had kicked off and do the same.

It's in the blood. We did not choose - we were chosen .

The second goal was a bit good. Lots of 'pass and move'. More of that please.

Also Hogan unselfishly pulling the ball back for Onomah to score the fourth was good to see especially as he's probably desperate to score himself.

Hourihane ran the show in midfield. Barry esq.

So pleased he is stepping up his game.  We all knew there was a quality player in there somewhere

And a mention about Elmo. Playing him at right back is quite effective at times. Because he's pretty good in the air, it's like having a extra centre back.

Agreed, I like him at right back.

Good work. Bolton only 2 points this season, don't bollox that one up please. Get the win and we'll be looking pretty good going into the next break.

Previous form in these circumstances (win streak) then coming up against such an opponent would have Bolton winning 2-0....

Double agree especially about him being good in the air

He's settled in well there and has had a couple of assists as well.

I assumed for the first few weeks that he'd been signed as one and I complained about it because we already had 3 that he seemed to want to hold on to.  When we started playing him on the wing it felt very much that it was solely so Johnstone could launch it in his direction.

I still think we should've let Hutton go and worked with RDL as a centre back so Elmo as starter with Bree as backup.

Yeh...We started scoring goals again in the league as soon I left the country.
