7pts from those 3x season defining games in a row. Very good return that. It’s funny how football works. Draw against Wycombe and win last night and we’d be in a far better mood this morning. Same amount of points. Last night we saw 2x good teams going at it. It was a great game where we saw both negative and positive points from both teams. Both managers having to change tactics throughout the game as they tried to work each other out. Both teams on top at different stages within the game. 2-0 kind of flattered us tbh early in the second half as Bolton weren’t really ever out of it. Weirdly…..I came out of the game not that gutted at the score line as they put us under so much pressure the last 30 mins as Liam Roberts kept us in it. For me that game was a “mustn’t lose game” and we didn’t. A good result for me end Collins and the players shouldn’t be too down as it’s still all to play for.
Judging by Macatee's interview I don't think they're too down. Onto Saturday, they know they can score goals we just need to keep that concentration until the final whistle!
That’s how I see it. They’ve also got a monster journey down to Exeter on Saturday… plus their match versus Shrewsbury called off due to international call ups which won’t help their fixture pile up. loads to play for. We need to take the positives, refocus and keep grinding out the Ws
Last night reminded me of the Sunderland game during the 2019 run-in. That was a must not lose too and we didn't. Sunderland had all the games in hand and blew it. Owt could happen.
The last 20mins they battered us some down to our poor play but they are allowed to play well and they did. The position we got ourselves in makes disappointing but overall a decent point.
Disappointing to draw given a 2 goal lead, but I can't imagine anyone before the season wouldn't have taken 3 points off automatic promotion with a game in hand with 11 games left.
I think you can safely add 3 points for beating Orient, who were on a fantastic run when they came to Oakwell.
Yeah you can and also possibly add Lincoln onto it. As an earlier poster said about it being disappointing losing a 2-0 lead……it is…..but Bolton are a good team. Pompey nearly threw a 3-0 lead against us away earlier on in the season. Massive few weeks ahead and it’s a points game not a performance one is football. Fantastic return the past few games hence why perspective is sometimes needed to actually look at where we are in the bigger picture of things.
