Is this another Huddersfield situation?


Unfortunately our club aren't forthcoming in revealing allocations (at times) or how many tickets have been sold, why I don't know.

My understanding is that we've sold out the top tier and half of the lower tier and the rest have gone on general sale.

It could be owt between 3,000 and 4,300 ish.
Be a bit like a home game then.

Report: Bolton 1-2 Burnley

IN BRIEF

Wanderers suffered a harsh defeat at the hands of Burnley at Macron Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Following a goalless first period which had seen Bolton dominate for the most part, the deadlock was finally broken with 21 minutes of the game remaining as Liam Feeney prodded home at the far post when latching onto Gary Madine’s cross.

The visitors were level in fortuitous circumstances just four minutes later however as Andre Gray bundled home from close range after his initial shot had been parried out.

The division’s leading goalscorer doubled his advantage meanwhile with five minutes remaining, latching onto a ball downfield and firing home from distance to secure all three points against the run of play for the Clarets.

TEAM NEWS

Emile Heskey was in from the off for Wanderers, while Rachubka continued in goal in the absence of the injured Ben Amos.

Former Bolton midfielder Matthew Taylor meanwhile was amongst Burnley’s substitutes.

FIRST HALF

With Wanderers forced to shoot against the North Stand in the first period – something of unfamiliar territory for the home side – the game got underway and it was Bolton who were enjoying the most sights of goal inside the opening stages.

A succession of corners however came to nothing much, but it was certainly a signal of intent from Neil Lennon’s side early on with Heskey proving himself a handful for Tom Heaton and his defence.

It was all Bolton inside the first ten minutes, with the visitors struggling to get a foothold in the clash, although the Clarets’ keeper was yet to be really tested.

Josh Vela was to enjoy the Whites’ first real chance of the game in the 20th minute as, following a clever cross from the left flank by Liam Feeney, the academy graduate drilled goalwards from just inside the box, only to see his angled effort whisk narrowly wide of the far post.

Heskey and Feeney combined well soon after with the latter collecting the frontman’s knock-down, but he was unable to get his shot away halfway inside the box under pressure.

It wasn’t until 25 minutes in that Burnley came close themselves, with George Boyd firing wide when in on goal with Rob Holding hot on his heels.

Wanderers were soon back on the attack though, with Feeney’s low driven cross ricocheting around the box, pinging off a number of bodies before eventually going out of play on the half hour mark.

It was still very much Bolton’s game as the half time whistle drew nearer, with a Feeney free-kick into the mix on the stroke of half time causing carnage amongst the Burnley defence, but nobody was able to turn the ball home as the first period ended goalless.

SECOND HALF

With no changes at the break, the game got back underway at a dry yet chilly Macron Stadium and Wanderers almost drew first blood with the half three minutes old as, following a fluid period of passing downfield, Dean Moxey whipped the ball into a crowded penalty area with Zach Clough unable to keep his shot down with the goal at his mercy.

The visitors meanwhile were enjoying a little more of the ball than they had done in the first half, but were still struggling to get any meaningful efforts on goal.

Jay Spearing, who had enjoyed a recent purple patch in front of goal, tried his luck from a similar position to his two previous strikes in the 54th minute, only to see his shot clear Heaton’s crossbar.

Bolton’s pressure continued however, with Feeney seeing a curled effort from the edge of the penalty area clear the goalmouth by a matter of inches.

The winger was causing carnage for the visitors, while the Whites were getting closer and closer to breaking the deadlock.

Burnley meanwhile were biding their time in terms of their own action in front of goal, with the Bolton defence having to keep firm tabs on Sam Vokes and Andre Gray.

It wasn’t either striker however but almost James Tarkowski who opened the scoring against the run of play, with the Clarets’ recent addition drilling agonisingly wide shortly after the hour mark.

The 64th minute of the game saw Wanderers’ first change of the game, with Gary Madine coming on in place of Heskey.

With a quarter of the match to go however, the deadlock was finally broken as Pratley pick-pocketed the ball deep in Burnley territory, played the ball to Madine who fired it across the face of goal with Feeney given the simple task of prodding home at the far post.

Completely and utterly deserved on the Whites’ part, the visitors were back level in fortunate circumstances just four minutes later as Rachubka palmed away Gray’s initial effort, but the Championship’s top scorer bundled in the rebound.

Despite the setback, Wanderers continued to pile forward in a bid to restore their lead and as the game entered its final ten minutes, the game was balanced on a knife edge.

It was the hosts who were looking the more likely, but out of nowhere the Clarets snatched the lead as Gray latched onto a clever through ball, raced through and fired home from just outside of the box with five minutes remaining.

So very harsh on Neil Lennon’s side, they were nearly back level with a Burnley man almost heading into his own net in the 89th minute with Heaton forced into a smart reflex save to keep the ball out.

With four minutes of additional time indicated, there was a goalmouth scramble for Wanderers with nobody able to turn the ball home in a crowded six yard box, but it was in vain as Bolton suffered the harshest of defeats.

We played one of the best teams in the division today, loads of positives to take away, our new owners will be happy with what they saw, onwards and upwards.

Enjoyed the match.  

It definately looked like a top vs bottom clash. Except it looked like we were at the top and Burnley were rubbish. 

We dominated.  Mostly.  

Burnley only really had one other chance before they equalised and it would be stretching it to say they even deserved a point.  

The game seemed to be crying out for Woolery to come on because our best attacks were all led by Feeny who was terrorizing them with his pace.  9 out of 10 for him. Heskey did nothing. Lennon never brought Wooly on though. 

The whole team played well and it should have been a home win.

These players,when they get it right should and could really be challenging at the top. A few wins breeds confidence and you can build from there. Look at Leicester  

If we get out of this it will be a miracle. But next season we will be top six with the same team. 


Rachubkha by the way looked solid.

Taking positives is no good at this point of the season, same old story played well and I'd say we out played them for large parts of the game, just no cutting edge and that was the difference, Burnley took there chances.

Lennon should have made changes sooner, Heskey is offering nothing up front at the moment and Pratley is ineffective, for a bloke his size doesn't have the physical presence he should have, may as well have started Wellington and Madine.

9 million reasons why we lost today, they had a striker of note, we didn't.

Staying in this league is vital if we are to recover from this challenging time. If we go down we'll lose our best young players, it will be grim

 Indeed, however you got to ask if we had the best options available on the pitch, also seemed to me clough was playing quite deep at times, silva was clearly annoyed at the end of the game stormed off down the tunnel.

Dobbie and wellington subs far to late to have an impact.

The difference was £9m.

If you look at their second goal, it's hard to imagine any of our strikers - doesn't matter if it's Heskey, Madine, some kid from the reserves - even creating the opportunity for themselves let alone finishing it.

Couldn't care less what Silva makes of it all. He's just an egotistical scumbag who won't make anything of himself with the attitude he's got. I do think it's worth starting him despite that but by no means should he be the first name on the teamsheet like he seems to think, especially with the injuries he's had.

As for the substitutions, we only went 2-1 down with 5 minutes left, and were playing well up to that point. I'm in two minds over Clough. Part of me thinks he should be playing 90 minutes a match despite that he goes missing all the time, part of me thinks he needs looking after better than that. Seeing Stephen Dobbie on the touchline is never cause for excitement though I'll certainly give you that.

Yep silva does have an oversized ego, but he is one of the more likely to create a chance for himself, seemed obvious to a blind man that Burnley where struggling with pace, yet we bring on Dobey instead of Woolery? No

£8,999,999 reasons... leaving £1 for Madine.

Needed 6 or 7 points this week with 2 home games... had the chance for 7 and we ended up with 1.  Only 36 points to play for, and we would need Messi to help us out (on loan of course).  We have to spend on a couple of players and go on a run... but it might be too little, too late.  Thank you ED.
