Nobody could get near Thierry Gale
Successful dribbles: 46. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Cup progress for Bolton Wanderers
A 1‑1 win over Huddersfield Town, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

5 matches without a win for Bolton Wanderers
The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Bolton Wanderers are no longer polite ones.

Lorenzo Torriani is a better footballer than he was

Jackson Conway was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.00. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
