Scoreless Against the Baggies
31/08/08 13:25
Bolton drew 0-0
with West Brom at the Reebok yesterday although lord only knows
how. Bolton had at least two strong claims for a penalty turned
down along with two goals disallowed. Baggies midfielder Kim hit a
25 yard rocket against the Bolton bar that appeared to me to bounce
down over the line and Ishmael Miller fluffed an easy finish from
the rebound.

Not at all a
good week in the world of the Wanderers. Firstly Kevin Nolan had a
penalty saved against Newcastle at the weekend shortly followed by
Michael Owen scoring in a 1-0 home win. Then a changed but not
necessarily second string side lost 2-1 to Northampton Town (!) in
the Carling Cup second round. Not only did they get knocked out but
Gary Cahill was given a straight red card for a dangerous challenge
and will now miss at least two games. Northampton’s goals were both
scored by Akinfenwe, the first from the penalty spot while Kevin
Nolan came off the bench to score for Bolton. I don’t have footage
of it, unfortunately.
A Very Good Start

Bolton made the
best possible start to the season yesterday, beating Stoke City 3-1
at the Reebok stadium. Gretar Steinsson opened the scoring with
what was either a brilliant goal or a complete fluke depending on
who you ask, then set piece headers from Kevin Davies and Johan
Elmander gave Bolton a 3-0 lead at half time. The second half was
much less eventful, but Ricardo Fuller did score a consolation goal
for Stoke in injury time.
