Squad

Diego Gómez in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bolton Wanderers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Richard Taylor

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Richard Taylor, and the manager let it.

Squad

Josh Sheehan asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Lamare Bogarde

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 39 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Chadi Riad

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 25 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad

Tempers go at Bolton Wanderers

Lamare Bogarde was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Amario Cozier-Duberry runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Johnny Kenny the difference as Bolton Wanderers beat Cardiff City

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Johnny Kenny. 1‑0 against Cardiff City, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Xavier Simons gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Ibrahim Cissoko is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.35 with 3 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad

Amario Cozier-Duberry unhappy with how he is being used

Asked to play a role that is not his, or taken off before the hour once too often — Amario Cozier-Duberry has let it be known that he does not like the way Bolton Wanderers are using him. Managers hear this long before the press does.

Match

No end in sight to Bolton Wanderers's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Bolton Wanderers has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings

Ibrahim Cissoko runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Bolton Wanderers

Diego Gómez was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

A bad afternoon for Bolton Wanderers against Middlesbrough

0‑1 to Middlesbrough, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Sam Dalby gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Ibrahim Cissoko is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.32 with 3 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Player ratings

Off the pace: Chadi Riad

A mark of 3.93 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Player ratings

The one thing Sam Dalby could not do

Shots: 8, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Squad

Josh Sheehan knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Josh Sheehan trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
