Makes Saturdays showing all the more bizarre IMO
Something odd about Saturday IMO.

Good effort though lads, like the second half at Oxford the panic has been shored up and we've got some pride and fight back in our game.

Well better than the weekend I suppose, although that isn't saying much. Desperately need a win on Saturday.

One silly mistake and an inability to make all that pressure tell, we have to make domination like that second half count

It takes real talent to have 17 shots and not score one goal. Charlton had eight shots and scored FIVE.

10 points off the play-offs, 1 point/place off above drop zone. Not how we saw things going in August.

At least it seems from reading this that it was a better performance. We really need someone up there who can put chances away more regularly than what we currently have though. We just don't take enough of the chances that we do create.

7 not enough for you?

Still, we're got 4 points from the last 5 league games so something's gone awry again

Deserved a point. Venus not the answer, like I said the other day you can't win games by only playing second half.

Better second half and looked more lively after the first two subs.

Just can't finish!

First half we were playing wing backs who weren't playing on the wing offensively or defensively and the CM'a weren't playing centrally so the gaps we allowed Bolton to move within was unreal!

Appeared to tighten up second half and restricted Bolton but Burge was still kept busy

Reid's shooting was woeful. Think some of his shots are still in the air!

Bolton caused themselves more problems at the back than we did until late on in the game.

I'd have taken a 1-0 before the game but we should perhaps have earned a draw at least with the chances we had in the second half and how we proved that Bolton were vulnerable st the back.

The Serbian 4th tier? They get better crowds than us from the look of that!

Still at least unlike the famous Noel Hickey miss he didn't fall over his own feet in the process

Sadly I think MV is about to say something similar. I expect "unlucky tonight, gave it a go, a tough place to come, could have won it in 2nd half, bounced back from sat" etc

Paddy madden was free in the summer. We didn't get him but would have been ideal.

Who else with a return rate like his is likely to be around?

We were really hesitant

Lacked believe

Changed the system which gave more impotous

When you lose natural for footballers to drop heads

Playing against top of the table team who have a lot of older heads

Bigi working well on his game. Talented boys

Longer the game went on the boys stood up to the challenge and we pushed them back

More talented individuals came off our bench

Goal came through a miskick

Know we have to get people who can stop those mistakes

Big club with decent team and disappointed we didn't get anything from the game

Last half hour we had more belief (as the game went on)

Pleased we got on the end of a corner (Turnball chance)

Use your luck; can't keep getting misfortune

Sordell and Sterry suspended for Saturday

Bottom line is players have to come in and take opportunity

Pleased with support tonight

Hope we gave them a bit back toward the end
