Matchday and after 3 long haul trips to arsenal, Crawley and Northampton its a welcome home game. Shrewsbury 2nd bottom of the league a potential banana skin? A 2-2 draw at the toughsheet last season one of the final nails in last season's automatic promotion push. Bolton have already beaten Shrewsbury this season 2-0 away in the league cup. 3 league wins on the bounce for Bolton and with just 4 points separating 2nd from 13th anything can happen. Team news. Forino out for 3/4 months after surgery on his hamstring, Mendes Gomes is back in full training, Jones and Forrester could be back after the international break, no news on Osei-Tutu. Possible rotation of the strikers today. Likely starting line up. Baxter. Toal Santos Johnston. Dacres-cogley Dempsey Sheehan Thomason Schon. Adeboyejo Charles. Kick off is 3pm.

Referee is a coward.
2-2. Time wasting ultimately pays once again.
Evatt sent off on full time for rightly giving him what for.
Exactly what a coward would do.

Actually, Evatt's sending off is for squaring up to a Shrewsbury player following his approach to the cowardly time poor official.

Why evatt got involved no idea. His own failings with a terrible first half performance. Thought his subs poor. Would never have taken Charles off. Seemed to lose momentum after that as Shrewsbury looked like they would get swamped. 10 points from 12 but we won't continue that against better sides unless defence better.

I see we managed a draw, at home against Shrewsbury, you would have thought that we should have won that one.
The only thing I can say is thank goodness that we didn't loose.

The ultimate game of two halves.
We deserved to be 2 down at half time from the performance.
Thought we could've won it in the end if Collins just deflects Thomason's shot rather than stopping it and shooting.
Ultimately we didn't make their time wasting pay.

I've just watched the highlights and we had enough chances to put the game to bed. It's such a pity none of them went in. However, if you let the opposition take a goal lead, things become difficult.
Before watching the highlights I watched a clip online where Evatt got involved with a Shrewsbury player, What a disgraceful display of bullying from him, no wonder he received a red card. He keeps saying that needs to keep out of trouble, so why go on the pitch looking for it?
Perhaps he should take an anger management course.
