Borodane 6,246 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Sounds like a delicious first half and then a second half where we just saved our energy for Tuesday's big game. I think the most important thing, apart from 3 points, was that a big crowd was treated to a big performance and some goals. Hopefully they'll all return for the next home game and bring a few friends. Link to post Share on other sites
chipchat 61 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Maddo makes Fabbrini man of the match. 3-0 at full time. Cracking game by us, even if we were all wishing we could have had more in the second half! Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Would have taken 3-0 home victory before game, slightly disappointed with the second half given how much Bolton were out of the game, seemed very flat. Maybe we were saving our breath for Derby but we could have made this a startling victory. Oh, and two clean sheets in a row for Dimi. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Did Dimi have to make a single save? Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 It sounds like we still created chances in the second half. I wouldn't be surprised if we did take the foot off the gas a bit to prepare for Tuesday. I really am happy for Kike, now I just want stuani to open his league account on tuesday!

tylergomez 53 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Ok we didn't get 6. But I will allow myself to be satisfied. :D Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Did Dimi have to make a single save? 1 shot on target for Bolton. :D Link to post Share on other sites
chipchat 61 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I think we need to view this as what it was - a convincing victory over limited opponents. Bolton are going to struggle through this season - but this is the Championship, and we know that teams that struggle can still spring surprises over the course of the season. We did a thoroughly professional job on them, and Fabbrini especially made the most of his opportunity. We created plenty of chances and converted enough to make it a comfortable win. There's other games ahead where we'll have fewer chances and perhaps need to be a little more lethal in despatching them, but when you're 3-0 up and cruising, there's not the pressure of those tighter games. Downing set up two good chances by the sound of things that weren't converted, while Adomah was a harrying influence on the right, winning possession from their players in their half. It gives us good confidence to take into the game against Derby - but that'll be a very different game to this one. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 That's important about Downing - he may not have the assist/goal yet, but he IS creating good chances and we just need to become more clinical in dispatching them. Link to post Share on other sites
Block53 12 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Chuffed for Kike, well deserved. Fabbrini is just what we've missed, always looking for the ball and bombing into the box. A poor Bolton but we look a bit special this season. Exciting times ahead! Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Fabbrini goal. Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,817 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Stuck in the cinema car park so I'll give my 2 cents. We looked a lot more attacking today. Fabbrini was the main man. Guy is like an ugly juninho! Kike took his goals well. Give him the service and he'll score! Nugent should really have scored as well near the end. Poor Bolton though, they never really had a sniff! Ooh. Traffic's moving now! Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Yeah everything I'm reading suggested Nugent should have really had a debut goal! Link to post Share on other sites
chipchat 61 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Fabbrini goal. Cracking strike. Confident-looking player. Link to post Share on other sites
Dxmge 0 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Just got back, brilliant game, we looked very dangerous first half, wasteful second half but it was a poor bolton side. Link to post Share on other sites
