Absolutely great that we've won our first 2 away games and I'll take those 6 points, but am I alone in also wanting to see a more exciting, lively game of football as well?? Went to yesterday's game and never came away with the "buzz" you get after watching a great game. Thoughts?

Went to yesterday's game and never came away with the "buzz" you get after watching a great game. Thoughts? Just watched the extended highlights. Fantastic to get the three points and the clean sheet but once again totally shamed by the accurate passing of the opposition while we had great difficulty passing to a black shirt and holding on to the ball. I can understand your comments about "buzz".
Yet again a team with the majority of the possession who, luckily for us, have no finishers in the final third. Alnwick still looks very nervous to me and really dithered at times. I hate punching the ball out instead of catching it and he seems to be doing it more and more.
On the other hand great to see a one on one finally come off for us. We have missed so many in the past two seasons it drives me insane! Let's just hope Wildshit stays injury free and can get a run of games under his belt. When he does, a Wigan mate of mine tells me, he is a great player.

On the beach at Bournemouth Pedro. Will post tonight. You need to get a new tv. It obviously doesn’t show reality 😊

Wouldn’t it be fantastic now to put some good news on top of our stunning start by announcing that we’ve made 3 new loan signings of excellent quality!!! That would really put 2 fingers up to the bookies that have us down for the drop.
Oh, and it would shut these d**khead Blackburn and Wigan fans up that I work with

Pedro, you are completely wrong on both counts, as you'd have seen if you had gone to the game. We played very neat football, resorting to hoofs only when absolutely vital. Reading posed very little threat, passing it around to no great advantage. Our passing was more adventurous, purposeful and probing. We were always in control because we seemed to be able to disrupt Reading's slow build-up play at will by continually getting a toe in or harrying them into mistakes. Alnwick was superb in all respects. There was just one moment of confusion when Beevers dithered in front of him. A really competent all-round performance from 1 to 11, plus attacking subs. Parky has gelled the new players with the best of the retained ones to form a resolute, united squad, where each player knows his job. Very promising.

Sorry for the late report but made a weekend of it and it takes too long to write these things on a phone. I’m beginning to doubt what I read on here about what happens at matches. It’s a bit like what happens when people are interviewed by the police about a crime and everyone has a different story. No, it was two men and they escaped in a red Fiesta down Bradshawgate says one. No, it was a man and a woman and they ran off down Great Moor St says another….You get the drift. So this is what I saw and for those of you who know me you’ll see me in one of the crowd photos from the BN that I was wearing my glasses. It's on this link. www.dropbox.com/s/xrqh4yiwn8a9y1i/v%20Bolton%2024_JPG_gallery.jpg?dl=0A very attacking start and Reading didn’t get into our half for the first 10 minutes. Then they got back into it and Alnwick made two great saves. No sign of nervousness to me. He’s twice the player he was 12 months ago and I now have a lot of confidence in him. We could have been ahead at half time when Magennis teed up Buckley who took too long to get his shot off. His injury saved the day as the strength and pace of Wildschut produced the only goal from a superb Noone pass. I think Wildschut must start the next game. After that, Reading didn’t get a sniff and Alnwick was never troubled. The defence and defensive midfielders were excellent. Always harrying. Always getting a foot in. Reading pushed the ball around but couldn’t do anything really threatening. And what a find Magennis is. £200k v £6m for Madine. I think Parky will be able to improve him and he could turn out to be the bargain of the century. Works hard and doesn’t moan like Madine used to. Won almost everything in the air and found Wildschut running in for the wing with his headers. Every player we have got this summer is an improvement on what we had, many of them with good Championship pedigrees and I think we should be comfortable mid-table this season. There is more pace though the centre halves are too slow and I don’t know how Hobbs and Wilson compare for pace. We will probably lose some games due to this but that will be outweighed by the results we will get through grit, determination and no little skill. Marc Iles verdict and player ratings in the BN are spot on. So no it wasn’t a borefest, Whites. As for buzz, the most buzz I got from a game was when we beat Reading in that play off final and those sorts of games don’t come around that often. This was a solid bread and butter win from a side that will only get better. What an excellent start to the season!
