3-2 loss to Bolton this evening. Unfortunate not to come away with something, we certainly weren't outclassed but we didn't take our chances whilst Bolton were clinical with theirs so can't complain too much.
We were maybe on the wrong end of a big call in the first half, looked very much like Reid was taken out having got wrong side of his defender, he would have been one-on-one if the collision doesn't take place. Referee didn't even give a foul, if it was given then the Bolton man is sent off.
Putting that aside, we only have ourselves to blame for not getting something today. We have to be more clinical, Reid did well with his goals but has to be taking that chance he had to make it 3-3.
We've also got to be better defensively, just can't be conceding the goals we did tonight - Butler's conceded two penalties this season because of some really rash decision making, he has to look to clean that up. These errors are costing us points. For a side that offers such a threat from set plays, we really do look vulnerable defending them, Iredale can't be given the space and a free run like he was, well taken though.
