63 I think you could be right the only way I can see them scoring is if we make a mistake COYWM

Not the second half I was anticipating and had Baka not missed that sitter it wouldn’t have been so stressful either. Not an easy game to play in and to be fair to Morecambe they defended well and looked a better team than last year. Still 3 more points and up to fourth now so let’s hope we can keep it going against the Owls on Saturday?

It’s that early season syndrome again🤔
Wednesday beat Charlton then get beat off Peterboro who got beat off Plymouth at the weekend whilst Charlton hammer Plymouth whilst Exeter beat Wycombe then Bristol R get beat off Barnsley who got beat at the weekend by Derby who tonight could only manage a goal less draw
It’s so far boding we’ll for the combative Wanderers

Exactly rioch, it looks like being one of those seasons where consistency will pay off. I suppose there are so many decent teams in L1 this year that you’d have to expect a win one week, lose the next situation so if we can just keep taking points we’ll be up there at the finish. Very disappointed in the score last night though, I expected us to trounce Morecambe but for some reason last night they seemed to have left their shooting boots at home. There were numerous times where Morley, Dempsey and Kachunga could have shot instead of passed but unlike in recent weeks, most notably Wycombe, they preferred to pass. We did have good chances though, none better than Baka’s sitter. All he needed was to hit the target and it was in and would have closed out the game comfortably but fair play to Morecambe who worked really hard and had they had Stockton on board might well have done us? Seems he’s off to Fleetwood now which is a shame as I think he’d have done well here but hey ho, not to be it seems.

A late comment from me about the game.
What a turgid, difficult game that was.
We expected Morecambe to sit back and soak up pressure and they sure did. Regularly had 10 men behind the ball. We struggled to get through this mass defence because our build up play was slow. It was the normal patient build up but was tediously slow. Only in the final 10 minutes of the 1st half did we speed up and in that period we scored and caused them problems.
Second half we drifted back into walking football. All the possession but we were met with a solid wall of defenders. Our main attacking hope came down the right where Jones and, more importantly, Bradley bombed forward. Dempsey also pressed and set up Bakayoko for a decent chance which he badly headed wide.
And all this time, Morecambe had the odd chance. They had 2 good attempts at goal with headers from free kicks. I know we have conceded only 1 this season but we do look in danger from high balls into the box.
Somehow, we went into drop off mode for the last 10 minutes and let Morecambe have all the possession. They got the ball into the box endlessly but we survived.
Overall, a deserved 3 points – not a great game.
Hopefully Saturday will be better because Wednesday won’t go all out defence.
2 extra comments:-
1. Their manager talks such rubbish – “deserved a point if not all 3 points”. Utter deluded tripe.
2. The referee gets top marks. Apart from an obvious corner that he missed, he did well.
Marks:-
Trafford - 7 Nothing much to do but the nothing he had to do, he did well
Bradley - 9 Yet again, excellent. His forward running is something to behold
Jones - 7 Very steady. Linking up with Bradley well
Aimson - 8 Strong. Two second half headers won by Morecambe players were a worry though
Johnston - 7 Same concern as Aimson on those 2 headers but loads of good blocks
John - 6 Got forward well but the final ball was a bit iffy
Morley - 6 Played deeper. Too many backwards passes worried me
Dempsey - 6 Had difficulty getting through a 10 man Morecambe block
Lee - 6 Same problem. Hard to get through massed defence
Bodvarsson - 5 First touch let him down a little
Kachunga - 5 Good contribution for the goal but he doesn’t half go down a lot
Bakayoko - 5 Missed a great chance and struggled to impose himself.
Afolayan - 5 Set off OK, got chopped down and faded from the game

I like your comments and score for Aimson davidm, but in typical Ian Evatt style, he’ll no doubt be dropped for the Sheff Wed game for the returning Santos
Surely would it not be prudent to ‘punish’ Santos’s defensive naivety by dropping him for this game? A sort of second punishment for getting so easily sent off at PV when he knew his cards were marked by ‘that ref’ In all fairness, Aimson deserves another shot in this ‘big’ game would you not agree?

There is no bigger certainty than that Santos will be back in defence on Saturday. He seems to be the only player who is immune from being rotated. The guy could probably score 3 own goals in a game and he still wouldn't be dropped the next game.

realtrottersforever your right I always thought there was only 2 certainties in life taxes and death but now there's 3 Santos. Don't get me wrong if he just got on with defending ie getting rid of the ball and try heading the ball instead of doing all the other stuff that he's not good enough to do he would be a steady defender there are better than him around. As long as he his wearing a Bolton shirt I will support him and the team onwards and upwards COYWM PS with him in the defence it scares the shxt out of me when the opposition attacks.
