Away Match Day Thread +++ 17/09/19 L1: Bolton Wanderers v OUFC +++

The Bolton team of Tuesday would have probably put six past the Bolton team of Saturday. Yes, they were, more or less, the same players but certainly not the same team.

Hill probably learned all about what was needed from that 6-1 result and perhaps it was the quality of the acquisitions that they were able to put the knowledge obtained from that previous performance into their game. We have seen similar ourselves under both Appleton & Robinson, albeit not as instantaneous or as dramatic.

Or perhaps it was a dead cat bounce........
 
We always struggle against teams who close us down, we always appear to stand off and therefore give other teams/players space to move or run with the ball, Bolton recruited 9 players at the last minute of transfer day, but appear to look like a team, unlike us, who appeared not to know what the rest of our team was going to do or try. It will be interesting to see what Bolton do on Saturday. If they get stuffed again it will show how poor we really were, because I thought we looked awful Tuesday, if Bolton win on Saturday perhaps we will look back and be grateful for a point, it will also show us how good their last minute recruitment was

I agree, if they lose heavily on Saturday it will make us look like real chumps. If they draw again or win, however, then maybe this was just the start of their revival.
