Devastating loss. We deserved something from that, but 2 huge defensive mistakes could well have f**ked our season.

Not sure how Baldock didn't get sent off in the first half, it was a carbon copy of Phillips' red card at Forest.

Bottled it in the two big defining home games against the top 2, simple as that. Wasting a boatload of chances is becoming the norm and you felt the sucker punch coming.

Of course its still tight but we have made it hard for ourselves again and losing the keeper and probably our best defender for the next few games leaves us vulnerable at the back.

I wouldn't say we bottled it today, we'll play worse than that and still probably win, we were the better team, and didn't really give them a sniff until the brain fart from Cooper.

Hopefully, Janson's injury is just a dead leg, and he can recover over the international break, but we need at least 6 wins from our last 8 IMO.

Paid the price for not taking chances today. Losing at home to Norwich and Sheff utd means we prob end up in playoffs but I really hope I'm wrong

1 point in it, 8 games to go. Plenty of time yet, it can all change in a week in this league.

coopers brainfarts have cost us before. stupid free kick in first half could have cost us.

Correct re January. I've said all along that the poor Jan window could cost us. If we had have brought in s big hitter in the front 3 we would be comfortably top. Harrison just doesn't have it. Constantly choses the wrong options.

Also think a win today would have secured promotion.
Don't think we have the experience to get through via the playoffs with the likes of WBA, Boro and Villa.
I reckon we will get 16 more points from our last 8 games.

It's disappointing. A win would have really put us in the driving seat. Now we need a slip up from United or two from Norwich.

Less pressure being the chaser though

All hell to break loose if Bolton go out of business and points are taken away from teams that won against them.
