Was in the middle of typing this word-for-word. Hoping for some positives from it to take into next season.
Go on then I’ll say 1-3 Barnsley, Barnsley win on Penalties despite Bolton missing loads of chances, even hitting the post a couple of times.
2-1 defeat. Confidence is shot to pieces so can only see Bolton cruising through. Our goal comes late when they’ve already started the party.
To go through tonight we'll have to score at least 4 goals because I can't see us keeping a clean sheet.. If we can survive the first 20 -30 minutes without conceding we have a chance, I think Bolton will try to put the game beyond us early.. 0-0 at half-time wouldn't be too bad cos I feel Bolton then wouldn't know whether to stick or twist.. If we concede early we may get steam rolled.. But we could easily win tonight but fall shorti with a Pompey type performance 2-1 reds
Trying to look at this from a form/betting perspective....we concede 2 every game v poor sides....so it kinda depends on Bolton but a very easy night and another 3 for them and.0.for us. Hope I'm wrong...I did guess same scoreline for oakwell match though.
Tomorrow's back page headline TYKES TROTT ALL OVER BOLTON TO WEMBLEY Early Santos red card followed by a Cosgrove hat trick in a 4-1 trouncing to the Reds. Ian Evatt also gets sent to the stands after the ref thinks he's trying to get the game cancelled due to his tears waterlogging the pitch.
