Actually, you're right (and so is mush), that's my mistake. Fellows came off at HT, so technically we could have made another.

Sad news really. Wheal is an extremely okay cricketer but to see a second bowler forced into retirement through injury this season isn't nice.

I said before the game that I'd rather have the option of bringing Jander on than being forced to take him off and the game kind of showed why. If you start knowing that you're going to have to make a certain sub on circa 60 minutes, then you're limited in the tactical changes you can make. You're effectively down to one tactical sub opportunity if somebody gets injured, which is exactly what happened with Larin after 40 minutes. As it happened he subbed off Bragg on 70 minutes anyway but you don't really want that being dictated to you by fitness, before the game. On that note, shout out to the mush behind me who get shouting, "get Jander on FFS!" when we'd already used all three sub windows.

Well, that was one of the all time games of football. I guess you can't really be too annoyed, considering this is the first game we've failed to score in all season and we have taken seven points from nine in the space of a week. A few thoughts from where I was sat. Papa Fellows N'Diaye. WTF was that all about, that was the offsideiest performance I've seen in decades. Bragg. Having just come back from suspension for two pretty silly bookings, he looked like he was trying to do it twice in the same week with that booking. The ref waved him away about eight times but he just kept chirping. Bree's miss. Good f**king lord. The hand ball not given. Good f**king lord. Dobbin's miss when one on one. Good f**king lord. Larin clearly struggling with something, I assume it's his back still playing up. I hope this doesn't become a recurring problem. Scienza and Azaz. A quieter day at the office for our most creative players. Bolton clearly did their homework on us. Bazunu. Well, that was a strange looking, "easy 5-0 win". He commanded his defence well, came for crosses and dealt with the only two shots on target I can remember. Wood. How many hours is that no we haven't conceded a goal in his absence? Since about minute 31 at Watford. Overall I'd say Bolton look like a decent enough and well organised team who won't be in any trouble this year. No shame in a 0-0 here but we can't afford too many of those if we're serious about the autos.

Personally I'd prefer to be in a position where we have the option of bringing him on, rather than being forced to take him off.

Do you remember that Miss Teen America meme from about 20 years ago, with some girl talking gibberish about Iraq and South Africa? Probably her.

Armando Broja on the bench for Burnley. He’s scored one goal in all competitions since his loan to us five years ago. He cost £20m.

Clearly they thought they were going to have to rough West Ham up a bit to get a result but instead of doing what every team does to Scienza, Hamer went full Alex Jankewitz. Oops.

You're just scared to say anything mean about him.

Last win against them in any competition was four days after 9/11. Pahars scored the only goal. Last home win was in 1995, David Hughes scored the winner.

One more thing, we've kept our record going of only conceding goals when Wood is on the pitch, since the opening game against Watford.

Won't be an easy one as they seem to have found a bit of form recently. Three wins in their last four, including a 1-3 at Molineux last time out. You would think Bree, Leo and Larin would come back into the starting lineup. I'm guessing Bragg will replace Downes as I doubt Jander is ready to start after an unexpected 70 minutes tonight.

Well, those aren't the two prettiest back to back wins we'll ever take but they all count. Hopefully the injuries to Downes and Jander aren't that bad and the latter just had cramp. I'm not sure this was the right game to start Abbott but then again the derby certainly wasn't and we had to take the plunge one day. He was nervy for the first 25 minutes but seemed to settle a bit after his booking and put a couple of decent crosses in. Probably a good decision to sub off the two booked fullbacks all things considered. Fair play to Dobbin for a decent second half and Edozie for unlocking their defence for the goal. JWP too, looking more and more of a bargain with every game.

I hope Jander hasn’t pulled something trying that. Looked like he signalled to come off but we can’t make any more subs.
