Struggling noe chip can’t get their foot on the ball and Coventry are really putting the pressure on. In fact we’re lucky they haven’t had a couple of pens recently. We have no penetration and the kids are tiring now. Chucking it down again here so I’d rather be with you for the 6th pint!!

An excellent point gained! Well done, considering Coventry finished 8th in the league last season.
"You'll win nothing with kids". Don't make me laugh.

The kids are alright! Leapfrog Bury!
Great to get a point on the board. Buys us a bit more time to get this mess sorted.
Was Parkinson involved today. Said Spooner and McCann on Sky?
I would be offering to tear up all contracts. Thats not just because weve got a draw. We will need better calibre or it will be curtains but on principal i cannot believe they wouldnt play after the amazing support. If they think theres clubs out there looking for immobile aging midfielders then good luck, get the shredder.

The stadium might have been less than a third full, but I have to say, judging from the GMR commentary accompanying the live stream, the atmosphere was fantastic. Hats off to the fans who were for sure our twelfth man today. And a twelfth man that made all the difference.
Of course, I could carp about Parky’s habitual emphasis on defence, with only one up top. Anyone can see it surrenders possession, invites pressure and really forces young legs and minds to work ridiculously hard, especially in the last quarter of the game. But tonight, we Bolton fans should celebrate the achievement of this team. A wonderful performance, Alexander had a faultless game in goal, Zouma ans especially Edwards were again excellent in central defence, and, though they were pressured on the flanks, Brockbank and White never gave up.
The midfield never stopped running, harrying, tackling and, in possession, trying to use the ball on the ground. None gave any impression that they wanted to hide, all seemed happy to receive the ball.
Of course, it could be said that we rode ur luck a bit, but we also could have scored with a bit more fortune - Politic’s great volley in the first half our best shot. I’d love to see a really inspired head coach ( with help from the likes of Lee, McCann and Spooner) get to work with this group of lads... they have great potential. But tonight we should all celebrate the rebirth of the Wanderers. I certainly intend to!

That was uplifting and euphoric. Al the senior players refused to play and wow what an athletic, spirited, brave effort driven on by Nicky Spooner and Gavin McCann. Just wonderful after all the dross of the last two years.
Also no little skill. There are some multi- million players of the future there especially Zouma, Edwards and Brockbank. The defence was excellent and the running and pressing.. No wonder cramp affected some. Weir and Darcy were inexhaustible
Ok Coventry had three offside goals and we only had one serious effort on goal well saved.
If the takeover goes through what a foundation to build on . It will take time but give me players wantin to weat and proud in the shirt anyday. Let's get rid of those who refused to play add a handful for midfield and upfronyt and move on.

Absolutely fantastic game even though I still can’t believe we didn’t lose. The kids did everyone proud and I dont think a single person left before the end just so they could give the kids a standing ovation which they thoroughly deserved. What a difference from the sterile, boring rubbish we watched last year. To all our so called senior professionals, that’s how you wear the Wanderers shirt which I hope none of you ever get to wear again, you’re an utter disgrace to both the club and your profession. There will be some apologists on here trying to excuse your no show but for me there is no excuse.
Anyway, rather than waste ink on garbage like them I’ll save what words I have for the kids who did us proud again today. Every one of them gave everything and that point could just be the one that keeps us up next May if we’re still here. Yet again Parkys anonymous in all this so I include him in the list of disposers when new ownership arrives. Let’s hope this is the beginning of a whole new era for the club because as well as the players the Wanderers fans also stood proud today and if that doesn’t further encourage FV to complete the purchase then nothing will. By the way chip did you get to that seventh pint? ;-))

Well that was brilliant.
Well played all 12 of you.
How good to see a group of players put so much energy and desire into a game – shame on last year’s squad and the so-called “senior” players who let us down yet again today.
There was very little hoofball – more an attempt to play the ball along the ground – credit to Nicky Spooner and Gavin McCann who seemed to be in charge today.
Coventry obviously bossed the game. They were physically much stronger than us but we played with our hearts and deserved a point for pure endeavour
A word about the “new” linesman rules on offside. The first offside goal (they had 3 – all legitimately offside) was right in front of me. Their wingman was clearly off but play carried on – no flag from the linesman – the ball eventually being crossed and Coventry “scoring”. The Coventry players celebrated and went to line up before the referee went over to the linesman – I think under pressure from our defence – and eventually rightly disallowed the goal. What a farce when a flag raised immediately would have been simpler.
Back to the game – it was a lot of backs against the wall but we had 2 attempts so there is hope. To be honest, we will lose more than we win with this side but they will give everything and have the supportors behind them.
The best game at home for many a long while.
Marks:-
No marks today – partly because it took me most of the first half to recognise who was who – but mainly because they were all stars.
The keeper was excellent. Two superb central defenders. Hard working, football playing midfield.
But 12 stars in my eyes.
Well done

COYWM Sounds like just a fan might be telling it how it is on the BN tonight. Let em have it mate. So was Parky there? Did anyone see Bassini? Sharon? And reaction to above plus the deserters. Who will hopefully get thier just desserts.

Just a fan and will always be a fan. I know I harp on about Parky but if Parky was to get some half decent experienced players in to play along side a good portion of the youngsters we have seen over the last two games do we think he might just change his management style and give us a chance to stay up.

COYWM He did well to protect Connell, Pritchard, Earing though. Completely agree. Has no faith in kids. Yet finds himself as scout leader. Ive no doubt PP can go into a club, strip it back to basics and get relative success. But not what we need and not what we want.

Perhaps not KJU, but as I've said before, Parky should be given some credit for organizing, as much as he could, during pre-season. He has been thro' a lot, whether, or not you like his tactics. Sure they're boring. Now, he's spoken up for the club, as per the BN and the Nationals. He's told all at the top to get on with the takeover and in kind words told Bassini where to go. I can't remember the goalkeeping coach's name, but he hasn't been paid in months either, but still here, working today. I am perplexed as to why the senior players didn't play today. I thought that they had been paid. Anyone know the answer? Good to see whites 63 wasn't on gardening leave. I'll bet he'll be back for more. Get the pints in chip!!!

I can't remember being so proud, jubilant and moved by a 0-0 home result as I am today. Totally agree with David M about marks for players, they were all magnificent...if F.V. needed any evidence of the true worth of the football club it was provided by the youngsters who were more than happy to wear their shirts with pride, passion and no little ability. Hope continues for a positive resolution to the proposed take-over, supporters' appetites were well and truly whetted today by the sterling efforts of the youngsters...there looks to be something substantial upon which to build in terms of both the playing side and the potential support through the turnstiles if yesterday and today's events are anything to go by.
