Not really different to what people have said imo. Same football as it had been since Xmas. Lots of ball. Tempo increased. Chances increased. Didn't win.
We were miles better after the first 20mins. Second half was really strong and we looked very fit and very athletic - much more so than last year. 22 shots to their 5 tells a story but as has been obvious for some time we desperately need another 9.

Or did we come up against a really strong back 4 from Bolton??
Can’t imagine Ladapo will play a harder defender than Santos
Certainly wasn’t boring after the first 15/20 mins.
Agree about the atmosphere just need to crack on with a few wins and keep up the good vibes as we know some fans are fickle.
Gamechanger have done some good things in terms of the matchday experience- fanzone, improved sound system, new screen (albeit couldn’t read it from SBR), even the Carlos Edwards interview at half time. Good stuff.

Same. I wondered if I needed glasses reading the teams when they appeared.
Ultimately we are going to need to win the vast majority of our home games if we are going to trouble the top two, and without over simplifying it, we dropped two point toward our ultimate goal.
I appreciate this may be difficult for you to accept, because you are without doubt the happiest and clappiest of all our happy clappers!
….and that’s not meant as an insult, but you do look at things very, very positively.

We drew 1-1 in a game we dominated after 20 minutes and didn't get any breaks at all.
The ball in their area favoured them everytime, they got lucky it never fell to us.
On another day we win that 3-1. Bolton did sod all in 90 mins apart from a pen. Contrast that to last year at PR.
Very positive, on to next week. Any fans moaning need to give their heads a smack. Yes frustrating not to win but not a lot to moan at.
We all knew yesterday was going to be tough, didn't we? Good team, finished last season like an absolute train, kept their best players.
It wasn't quite the result we hoped for and you could see some familiar flaws (and strengths!), but we got 0 points against the same opposition last year, so we're already +1 on last season. We also came back from a goal down and pushed on and dominated the second half. Lots of promising stuff and it's far too early to get too down about any issues we've still got.

Aahahaahhhhhaaaaaaa!
You've forgotten Stablers during the McCarthy years innit?
You were at the same game as me and also saw what I saw. A disappointing result given some our chances, but much to be very heartened by. Bar the result, if we're to be served up that style of play week in week out, I'll be very happy.
Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness.

Nah, we carved them open at times and then made bad choices and/or couldn’t execute the final ball. But overall agreed. Bolton came out like a train, but after we started to get a foothold in the game we kept the pressure up. Lots of energy all round.
Edit. Don’t get me wrong, they were good and Santos was a rock for them. We were our own worse enemy at key times though rather than Bolton snuffing us out.
Another thing to add is that Bolton will be one of the toughest teams we'll play all season. Shame we couldn't get the win, but if you'd offered me a draw before the game I'd have taken it.
I'll be a bit concerned if we can't beat Forest Green though.
