To be fair they passed the ball to Taylor a fair bit in the first half, it’s just he either can’t control the ball or his layoffs were terrible.

Yeah, but we either couldn't get a cross past their first man or if we did we ballooned it over the bar or so far above and beyond anyone at the back stick it went for a throw in or a dead ball by the corrner flag.

No idea with Koroma. My perch on Row Z was right behind him and he'd fashioned the perfect chance to put his laces through it, the space opened up in front of him, unusually because Bolton's defence was mostly as tight as a Scotsman's Sporran let alone a Yokshireman's wallet. Not that we'd have hit a barn door if it had GOAL writ large all over it anyway. Don't get me started on banjo's, it's not fair to cows.

Hodge called for the ball late on from Chappers and nearly totally undid us with a woefully weak pass back to him. Thankfully Chappers dug him out of that hole but apart from that he's a bit livelier than Hoggy and as he's from this part of the world, I'll sort of forgive him. Don't really see a Prima Donna League player there yet though.

Defensively we fell asleep for their goal. Whoever should have been stood on Collins's toes clearly wasn't as they were distracted elsewhere. At best we maybe deserved a point at a push, but you have to ask what we've done to go from stuffing 4 past them to only getting one shot on target. Yes they've improved too but we saw what that win at their's did to our confidence when we didn't win again for a month and change. Hope that's not reurning to bite us on the bum again. Can February come soon enough?

Our home record v Brum isn't exactly scintillating. We're long overdue a home win but we'll have to do a lot better than we've been for most of January to not fall further behind them. We really should be a lot closer to, if not 2nd, to be honest.
