that. was. a goal
First one was simple, ball over the top and using Ajoses pace to get past the defence. Second was an ok hit but the bolton wall was awful - hardly great goals by any stretch.
You're always a ray of sunshine in these threads Sam!
Feck, missed the first half. Any stand-outs?
Brady started very strongly and Ajose has been prominent (if a bit wasteful). Generally we've been a bit off our game so far and struggled to break down a well organised Bolton team who look dangerous on the counter.
Why has Rafael become a reserve player all of a sudden? Surely he's recovered from that head injury of his.
Because his brother has the spot in the first team nailed down right now, and it gives him match fitness.
Just wanna provide a bit of counterbalance
. I think there's a tendency to be overly positive above and beyond in the reserves forum.Head injury? But as Ubik said, match fitness
Well he's not even found a place on the bench in recent weeks when we've been short of fullbacks. Evans seems to have overtaken him for the full back position. Just find the whole thing odd.
Back up now. Nevermind.
They are really struggling against Brady who's beating their right back easily and knocking in some great balls. We should really have added at least 1 goal to our lead.
James and Brady off
King and Vermijl on
King and Vermijl on
He has been very wasteful in some lovely positions though, but playing v well otherwise.
Interesting change, Vermijl and King on for Brady and James. I wonder if Brady will be in the first team squad on Sunday?
I would say it was Ajose's positioning/ finishing rather than Brady's final ball actually.
I like Lindegaard's distribution. He doesn't just lump it forward, he actually tries to pass it to someone.
That was a great run by Vermijl
After the concussion, he picked up the hamstring problem against Marseille at home, not sure if he's really been fully fit after that.
Yeah nice bit of link up between Vermijl and Obertan.
We're carving them apart at will at the moment and the threat they carried in the first half has gone missing. Poor finishing is letting Bolton off at the moment.
Fletcher, Obertan and Rafael, the more senior players, have been a bit disappointing so far.

Christ it's apparently a sell out tomorrow!
yes he has recovered from that a long time ago, but has been injured a couple of times since.
Great finish by Eaves. 2-1
2-1 Will be an interesting last 10
Yep, game on. Great strike from Eaves, taking it early on the volley giving Lindegaard no chance.
Petrucci on for moonhead.
Just tuned in. Lindegaard beaten for the first time in 216 (?) minutes in the reserves. How has he been, those of you who watch more than I do?
Penalty. Foul on Gill.
Penalty, Petrucci to tak e it..............
Goooooooalllllllllllllllllll
Goooooooalllllllllllllllllll
Great pass from Petrucci leads to a penalty, which he puts away
Moronic tackle. And a goal while my stream died.
Such a stupid challenge from the defender.
Petrucci takes and scores
Petrucci takes and scores
Nice blue screen I have... don't know if it's my stream or it sucks.
Fletch, Obe and Gill the outstanding performers in the second half. Great to see Darren lasting the full 90.
