Agger and Aurelio back in from the cold, Meireles and Lucas in the middle. What's going on?

[tenrou]

I'm glad to see Agger back in the central defensive role. Skittle and the Greek have been woeful together and hopefully Agger can act as a bit of an outlet as he's decent with the ball at his feet.

[SMD]

*cautious optimism*

[glb]

Agger starts

As much as I'm intrigued to see our response to Wednesday, it'll also be interesting to see Bolton and the side Coyle has crafted.

[SMD]

Only three outfield players for Bolton on the bench. Hope we can get the three points here, want to see some fluid attacking play with pressing.

^{Like under Rafa...}

[Chewylegs]

Great to see Maxi, Aurelio and Agger playing. However, it doesnt make up for the shit selection on wednesday!

[SMD]

Wednesday's gone, let's just focus on the game now. Carved out some decent chances so far, still a bit shaky but these players haven't played together in a while (particularly defence)

[SMD]

Fuck's sake, Meireles off injured. Wanted to see him and Lucas build up their understanding.

[DeNeo]

[Reynard]

Lucas.

[Oh Danny Boy]

i'm going off into a corner to cry for a bit, happy new year guys...

[Jamin]

Bolton have been average, we've been poor. Scoreline is harsh I think, 0-0 would be fairest. Where's the real Torres gone? He's been woeful again so far.

[DeNeo]

We've been a lot better to be fair (though that wasn't hard after Wednesday's performance). Just still not got that cutting edge.

[SMD]

Like watching a car crash.

[DeNeo]

It's on!

[glb]

Lovely finish, really nicely worked goal that.

[SMD]

GET THE FUCK IN! That's how you get Nando scoring, play him in the box and on the shoulder of the last man.

[SnoopZakaDaVe]

what a goal

[SMD]

Great run and shot from Torres there, looks much happier in a more advanced role with ball to feet.

[SMD]

Piling on the pressure here, we need to make this count.

[DeNeo]

Bolton goal in the 90th minute then?

[SMD]

I already said to mates that the way our season's gone that I expect an 89th minute Bolton winner off Pepe's arse

[DeNeo]

Ha. Or to us!

[SMD]

YEEEEEEEEES! GET THE FUCK IN! Scrappy as fuck but who gives a shit? Just one more minute, hold on!

[DeNeo]

Thank god for that.

Don't think it'll save Roy though.

[SMD]

No but that's irrelevant now, he's proved he's not the man to lead us so there's no point really discussing it amongst right minded people. Just need the team to somehow dig out results and thankfully we did.

[DeNeo]

Yeah especially going by the reports today - looks like a case of when not if.

Lots of big games coming up, hope the right team keeps getting picked.

[glb]

Thank god for that.

Don't think it'll save Roy though.

It probably won't. Winning 16-0 at Old Trafford next weekend probably wouldn't save him to be honest. I slagged him off in the heat of the moment following the defeat to Wolves, but at least he took a decision to shake things up a bit with his starting line-up, and the side showed a bit more guts and desire than they have done recently, so no complaints today.

[SMD]

Yep. This season is a complete write off so all I want is for us to be safe from relegation and then to just take each game as they come and see how high we can finish.

[christaylor]

So how contested was Cole's goal? SSN said the linesman flagged for offside but the ref overruled.
