bolton home. what was the score? won 1-0
"Can we play you every week?" was perhaps a little ditty sung by the Covered End tonight but as the internet coverage here was dead, I never got to hear it and of course therefore know squat about the game, except that we won.... ooh hold that thought.
Nice, isn't it? Faye, Reid, Diawara and D Bent were all rested in order for them to recover from slight knocks. M Bent took his chance well and JFH also stepped up and I understand Myhre and the back four were excellent as they withstood a pounding from Wimbledon, sorry I mean Bolton in the 2nd half.
The only downer was Jerome Thomas being carried off on a stretcher but according to Sir Les Reed it might be a case of bad bruising.
A real tonic then, and then Chesterfield in the next round. There should be much needed smiles at Sparrows Lane tomorrow.
Dowie watch: Put out a second string but a battling performance would have cheered him greatly. I heard that he got applauded off the pitch - good to see.
Quote: "Iain is very happy and has been positive all the way through this. We're not letting the pressure affect us. This is a club where people are patient. The fans cheered us off tonight and we'll move on." - Les Reed after the game.
