Totally deserved and a good performance by all. I just thought they were poor. Maybe that's because I was expecting a lot lot more from them, even with the way we performed etc.

Don't you think you might have been lulled into the general rule on these boards that if town lose we are absolutely dire but if town win the opponents were rubbish?

They weren't poor, they were wasteful and ballooned very half chance they had

No not at all. strong, direct, had a bit of pace, just didn't make enough of their opportunities.

One of the better sides we have played, tbh, I can't see how you can say they were poor.

Which sides have been better, there must be a lot of they were so poor?

They didn't play anything like as well as they can obviously, but they were clearly a well drilled and physically strong side. Things went our way with them messing up the handful of chances they had and we took ours.

Wycombe, Sheff U (2nd half), Scunny, Bradford, Gillingham, Millwall.

27 points out of the previous 30 I believe. Why don't people give Town credit for a great performance and preventing them from playing their best instead of saying they are a poor side. I watched them wipe the floor with Gillingham 4-0 just five days before and we beat the same starting 11. I couldn't see us doing it.

We played brilliant for 45 mins at Posh, but yesterday it was a great 90min battling team performance and we deserved to win.

Home games and just a few of top of my head. Anyway, either way, we played very well and deserved our win. Top effort by all our lads. Bolton are a top team, just think they weren't at their best yesterday.

We move on...

They are either a poor team or a top team, make your mind up

A top team who were poor in Saturday, imo. You can be a top side, but poor during certain games, yeah?

Maybe with the work ethic yesterday, the determination, the closing down and the all round performance of every player we actually made them poor. Just a thought.

Yes. I agree with you, we made them poor, meaning they were poor.

It seems to me that some on here infer that we won only because Bolton were poor. I believe we won because we were so good. They were not poor IMHO. They looked poor because we were so much better than them

I also believe we won because we were the better team on the day.
