Did this with the Wimbledon game, thought I'd continue it on.
1) Like Wimbledon, down their left looks to be the route in. I said that the AFCW fans weren't confident in their left-backs, nor Alexander moving over. Low and behold, Burns and KVY key in both goals. Should be another case of those two being important again.
2) KVY vs Afolayan could be fire. He's their main threat, KVY will need to be on his game tomorrow, with Burns helping out whenever he can.
3) They'll play short passes, looked poor whenever they lumped it with Burton's defence winning everything. If Edmundson comes in, alongside Burgess, then long balls should be ideal for us if we prevent them from passing through us.
4) Pressing Santos and Johnston should cause mistakes. Bonne could be very important tomorrow, because they looked shaky the few occasions Burton hassled them.
5) They are still SUPER ANGRY about a certain 180 minutes 21 years ago. Like, really angry. [Post edited 11 Sep 2021 15:12]

Perhaps it's the blue tinted specs but even after all these years, I still think BK got most of the decisions right. |  | | |

Trying to see what they see, I guess:
First penalty - full speed it's a stonewall penalty, he swings his leg at Magilton makes contact, penalty all day long. If you really focused on the slow mo, you might come to believe that Holdsworth just left his trailing leg there and Magilton's gone over it, I suppose.
Second penalty - the one that the Bolton team collectively lose their rag over, Ritchie gets a slight touch on the ball before clearing Stewart out, so they'd probably argue he got the ball. Missed it anyway.
First red - undeniably harsh. Stewart's not in on goal, it's inelegant but it's not really a reckless foul, it wasn't a straight red.
Third penalty - he's thrown him to the floor for no reason, definitely a penalty, but I suppose a Bolton fan just sees that the ball was going through to the keeper anyway and that the wrestling in the penalty area is irrelevant. Not how the rules work, but how fans sometimes see these things.
Second red - can't even conjure a hypothetical complaint here. It's an out-of-control tackle from behind into the back of Reuser's knee. He gets a second yellow for it, so maybe they think the first one was harsh? Straight red for that challenge alone anyway for me.
All the "corrupt ref" chat begs a bunch of questions really. If Knight wanted us to win there was enough pretext to disallow Bolton's first. Our second penalty was followed by a scrum of Bolton players losing their temper, none of whom receive a booking, nor does the tackler.
Also, we trailed from minute 50 to minute 90 and he does nothing untoward, then suddenly jumps into action to erroneously send Mike Whitlow off in stoppage time after we've equalised. Strange way to rig a football match. [Post edited 10 Sep 2021 18:00]
