So Madine is back.
Let's hope we can get some form of control in the game.
This is an important game for us - avoid defeat and it is a giant step towards promotion.

Come on then, Mr. Bleedin' Happy, WS63!!!
Another totally undeserved win achieved by hoofball, I suppose, eh?
How many fluky wins is that now? And how many clean sheets?! Be honest! Can you count that far?

Brilliant result.
Surely we must be able to get up now.
I listened on Tower - thank goodness that I'm going to the remaining matches - my heart can't stand the tension.
Maybe Coventry may do us a favour tomorrow, get some pressure on Sheffield United.
Great result!!

Can you count that far? No need to be rude Joanna, even though I know it comes naturally. I'm a Wanderers fan so of course I'm happy though like you, not being there I don't know if it was fluky or not. It does though once again prove how poor this league is where we beat an in form team like Southend, as we did with Fleetwood. My point which you are consistently missing, is that next year will be completely different and it's that I'm worried about with Parky in charge.

Nothing raises spirits more than a last minute winner. It will be hard to sleep now.
We were really good for 75 of those minutes. Madine linked up play really well from the off and with Morais marauding down the right and crossing at will we dominated the first half. Yet again Pratley and Spearing had a stranglehold on midfield but the Wheater and Beevers partnership was quite imperious and Dervite played his part too. There was no way through for them. We headed against a post- far end could have been Le Fondre but thought Madine. Vela drove through from the left and brought a good save. Several scrambles somehow went Southend's way. Another hit a post . There were several chances or misfires. We could have been three up. As it was only a goal line clearance of our own kept us level Second half was tougher. Madine had gone off injured clutching his arm. Injuries had added nine minutes. Clayton was PP'S choice and it wasn't the same. Morais tired, Pratley and Spearing got themselves booked and then held back and they enjoyed quite a bit more possession and won a few corners Phil Brown was sent to the stands much to fans amusement Suddenly ALF broke away and passed to Clayton.He was just a tad slow but still dinked a shot which the keeper did very well to save The game was moving to a draw. We had held on well defending save for Howard who tried his very best to gift chances twice with butterfingers and once a mis-kicking. But we pressed one last time. A clever back header went near-another good save. But the ball broke loose after a corner and Beevers lifted the roof lashing an unstoppable shot and sending us all into euphoria. There was still time for their keeper to get a header on target but soon it was over and we were ten points clear. Come on Oxford!
Howard 4 (O dear!) Dervite 8 Wheater 8 Beevers 9 Moxey 6 Spearing 6 Vela 7 Pratley 7 Morais 8 Le Fondre 8 Madine 7 Clayton 4
We played very well. Did Chesterfield really happen?

Yes, seems about as fluky as normal (!!):-
"Beevers fired home from close range, after a Filipe Morais corner had only been half-cleared, as the centre-back netted for the fifth away game in succession.
Bolton have now won six of their last seven outings and were able to see off a Shrimpers side who had manager Phil Brown sent from the dugout 10 minutes from time.
The Trotters had the better of the first half with Gary Madine heading a right-wing cross from Morais against the right-hand upright, before Southend skipper Michael Timlin also sent an effort against his own post after goalkeeper Christian Walton had done well to deny Adam Le Fondre.
Southend goalkeeper Walton then did well to deny Max Clayton twice in quick succession before Beevers struck right at the death."
To be honest, WS63, I don't think you ARE a fan, as you lack all confidence in and support for the team and its manager despite all the evidence that confounds your gloom. Every team has an off-day or two in rising to the top of a division but, from the state we were in when PP took over, the whole club has achieved miracles, as The Kraken points out above. The facts speak for themselves. First aims for the season are almost complete now. See if you can find it within yourself to give credit worthy of the name of "fan", and we'll see if you are right or not about next season, but you can't really ask for any more than we have achieved for this season.

Without the name calling eh?? COYWM

Yes, RFTR, you're another of the mealy-mouthed brigade, whose reaction to tonight's win, I noted, was to regret not beating Chesterfield. For god's sake! We've suffered years of disappointment so it's exhilarating, as Andy L says, to have lots to cheer about at last. Let your hair down, man!
