The Play Offs

[kieran_vale]

This game off to a bad start before it’s even kicked off with the words “and Lee Hendrie sat alongside me”. Straight to the mute button.

 

[Pete Hedges]

I take There has been a massive snow storm hit the Pennines making them impassable or a COVID outbreak has struck Bolton and the local populace are all isolating as there only seems to be a small travelling contingent for a massive club at a play off semi final.

 

[White horse]

Tickets available sold out in 6 minutes you retard

 

[kieran_vale]

Sooner or later Barnsley will have to click that you’re not beating Trafford from over 20 yards. Pretty quiet start from both teams so far, probably favours Bolton as the away side.

 

[White horse]

Poor from Bolton in both legs so far

 

[Pete Hedges]

Oooooo, touchy. Maybe you should of asked for a few more and fill some of the empty seats! "Retard" too bantz fella.

 

[Super_horns]

Good cross and header.

Segregation reasons I presume.

 

[kieran_vale]

Great cross and header to put Barnsley in front. As a spectacle it should help it as now Bolton going to have to step up the tempo.

 

[kieran_vale]

Good cross and header.

Pretty standard in the playoffs now to either give the minimum allocation or what us and Swindon did last season agreeing a set amount for both legs. Because of how the gate receipts are divvied up in the playoffs makes no odds to the home club if the seats are empty.

 

[White horse]

Bolton only gave them 2100 tickets and they responded by only giving us the same. So not to give an advantage, seems to have worked. Dreadful performance.

Actually Barnsley decided on the ticket numbers and we matched it as per their chairman/ceos interview in their local rag.

 

[Pete Hedges]

I've just looked into it and it's not a restriction on numbers, so I apologise to White Horse, it's to do with the SWL restrictions of the elevated stand and the fact that all those Gregg's obsessed pie eaters are close to exceeding the safety limits with the person to weight ratio of those currently there.

 

[stevowanderer]

This is poor though

 

[kieran_vale]

Barnsley winning every second ball at the moment. Bolton just getting dominated in midfield.

Some of the deliveries from out wide by Barnsley have been top drawer.

 

[Pete Hedges]

Only joking Wanderers, that all seems a bit petty preventing fans filling the ground regardless of allegiance.

 

[White horse]

This match has just not got going, full of stoppages,

 

[SF_]

Luca Connell is a good'un

 

[kieran_vale]

Lucky that Trafford saved it anyway as Barnsley rightly would have been pretty pissed off that was flagged offside. Looked easily level to me.

 

[SF_]

Yeah, Bolton have looked poor, completely lost the midfield contest. Created most of their problems themselves with poor clearances and constantly trying to play out from the back despite them not being very good at it.

Charles is completely isolated too.

 

[kieran_vale]

Just seen the match stats and Bolton apparently with 66% possession though it doesn't seem like it. Exhibit 1000000 why that is the most useless fucking stat in football.

My biggest bugbear. Very few teams at this level are capable of doing it but all seem to think they're Man City.

There's been some poor performances in these playoffs, firstly by Wednesday, then by Posh and Bolton are following them if they don't buck their ideas up. The world's greatest manager, Evatt, has got this all wrong so far. Time for him to actually show up.

Aye. Knocking it sideways and going nowhere isn't playing out from the back.

 

[White horse]

All you can hear are the 2100 Bolton fans, incredibly quiet home support

 

[Super_horns]

Bolton player should have gone for a shot rather than look for a penalty .

Didn't hear a peep from the home fans when we played them in October.

 

[kieran_vale]

More sign of intent from Bolton in 10 minutes in this half than the rest of this tie.

 

[leedsvaliant]

Better from Bolton, although they couldn't have been much worse. Look at least as though they have some intent.

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

Can we please have Sheff Wed vs Peterboro back on TV please?

 

[Super_horns]

You can see why 3 teams were well ahead..

Pen shout apiece now.

 

[SF_]

I like the Barnsley midfield, but Cole & Tedic look like complete donkeys up top.
