Yeah didn’t see it all but the bits I did catch included a lot of decent play from Bolton. Slick interchanging up front. But yeah seeing the misses I ironically missed plus the nailed on pen not given we should’ve won easily. Oh well, onto the next one.

Yeah that’s a fucking disgrace. Penalty all day long.

Agree with that. Didn’t watch it all but wasn’t particularly struck by a lack of enterprise in what I did. Especially the move that ended in the Bree miss. Also Schlotterbeck (who is a fucking excellent defender for this level) should have played Edozie in for what would’ve been a sitter near the end instead of shooting lamely.

Can’t win them all. I thought Bolton looked very handy. We should have scored at least twice though.

My main takeaway from that is that Wolves really don’t look that good. Really lucky to win that, gifted 2 goals.

Bit OTT but I do recall him looking very good in his debut as sub against Wham. They were battering us and then AB came on and nearly won it, hit the post after racing past his man from deep. Had a purple patch of goalscoring later that season then went quiet. Did the square root of fuck all back at Chelsea before that bad injury and never been the same since, and never will.

Stig Johannson’s debut as sub IIRC. WHAT a player he would go on to be for us.

Just orbiting the earth sat next to Elon Musk when the score flashed up on my phone. GEDDIN!!!

Edozie did superbly there. C’mon!!!

Just don’t send the fox and the chicken over in the same boat.

Gor blimey guv’nor what an unexpected and in no small way worrying lineup.

Yeah I’d heard that legend before but not the FA cup thing. I think they may even have said that it got paraded through the town (So’ton). How times have changed.

Thanks. Had no idea. Another revelation for me today was that (according to tv comms) when they won the FA Cup in 1939 the trophy was displayed at the Dell for a bit because we were all such great pals in those days and we were pleased for them. 😂

Gotta ask as not around in those days, who/what was ‘Matalo’?

I really liked the way Scienza, Stephens etc consoled him on his way off the pitch. Not even the slightest hint of criticism. It’s indicative we’ve got a really tight knitted squad looking out for each other, doubtless galvanised by last season’s debacle. Good times lay ahead imo.
