Stelios is right and Nolan did not deserve to be booed. We have awful "supporters" who aren't willing to get behind the team in bad times. Thats showing from the awful attendances and from the boo's. It wasn't only Nolan that got booed, the whole team did at half time. Do you think that will help the players confidence? Nolan did not deserve to be booed. He gives everything he's got every game for us, he made a mistake on the miss but was offside anyway so it didn't affect the score. It probably knocked his confidence, and the "supporters" won't have helped booing him. I applauded him off the field, if a player gives 100% every game for us, they do not deserve to be booed. I said this the other day on here but since Megson came to Bolton, Nolan has been one of the better players for us. He seems to be hated by the crowd at the reebok though, no matter how small a mistake he has made, i hear lots of people shout abuse at him, which will not help him one bit. Another thing i noticed was when somebody like Diouf or Anelka or Guthrie lose it, they dont get anything like that, but Kevin Nolan gives us way more effort than Anelka and doesn't deserved to be booed. If you're going to turn up to the match, why do you decide rather than backing the players and getting behind them, you kill their confidence when they lose the ball or do anything wrong at all. He gets things shouted at him if he is doing his job well. He doesn't get any praise for the good things he does in games, just supporters such as Julie decide to pick out the 1 bad thing instead of the 9 good things. GET BEHIND THE CAPTAIN OF BOLTON WANDERERS.

And finally where is Andranik? Is he injured?

I just hope we have enough in the tank to survive in the prem but at the moment it is to tough to call.

I too hate to hear the booing, but to be very honest I have felt like joining in many times but YOU CANNOT BOO YOUR OWN TEAM

Nolan looked like a pub player last night. But there is no excuse for anyone to boo. Next time you feel the need to jeer the team,stay in the pub with the rest of the so called Bolton Fans. All this I have been going since Adam was a lad,and I pay my money B*****ks

Noclue must sh*t gold - an overpaid, overrated player who epitomises what is wrong with modern football. Worst Captain I've seen at Bolton in all my years watching them. Bench him for a few games and tell him to watch some of Guthrie's performances of recent weeks. Still at a loss to see how people rate this guy. IF he was as good as Allarshyte hyped him up to be, he'd be playing in Black and White now. He isnt, nuff said.

Why the over sensionalization ? Think you will find that he threw into the dugout and NOT the crowd. If he had thrown it into the crowd should he not have been arrested and charged

Well the crowd must have been sat in the dugout, because if you watch the TV Replay it quite clearly shows NOIDEA throwing the bottle into the Right hand corner of the Dugout. DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE

I am new to this site, but have been a supporter for over 30 years. I agree that persistant negative comments are not contructive. When it comes to kevin nolan however, we have to be realistic. He may give 100% and he may love the club, but that is not enough for the premiership. He does not have the pace for this league and never will have. His timing and technique when tackling is poor. His passing ability is poor. He is not a bad finisher when in the right place, but that is not enough to justify his position in any premiership team. Campo has survived because although he has been bad recently, his ability to create and his vision are top class. Nolan is worth a place on the bench at most. He could come on and play an attcking midfield role when we are pushing for a win. If he is not happy with that then he should go. This is not a negative post. It is being realistic for a team that needs more quality and pace to support Diouf and Anelka.

i agree Stelios. Nolan wasn't the worst on the pitch that was gardener, one of my fav players. he put pressure on us with bad passes. nolan was unlucky not to score in first half. crowd got very frustrated the more the game went on. we haven't beaten derby for 30 years until tonight. It's always difficult to beat a team everyone expects u to beat. we needed to be calm cool and calculating but we got frustrated. anyway we won and should be more positive now. i enjoyed the second half playing 442 with wilhelmsons pace. what we got to realise is that his type of player will lose the ball because he attacks all the time.

On the BBC website, Megson blaiming fans as they didnt know " He had 11 stiches and a rib injection " to enable him to play. Well, excuse me, but do you really think that was a great selection, Megson?

By the look of Nolan he has had quite a few rib injections- of the barbecue spare type!!

terrible to boo nolan and is so out of order, especially as that would have hurt him because he cares deeply for our club, campo was shocking and still got cheered, campo's passing was sloppy and derbys last chance to score would have been his fault if converted. didnt here the boo's then. u dont always have to copy the person next to u you know. if i were megson, i would make gardner and wilhemsson practice crossing all day in training today ! when davies is off we arent a threat in the air really so we need to figure out how to find space in the box on the deck, and we'll score more. keep going whites your doing better and chin up kev dont listen to em, they havent got a clue.

Please allow me to compliment you on a most succinct and insightful post. Kevin Nolan consistently displays an honest and forthright approach both on and off the field: rare commodities at a club currently being run by a duplicitous and dishonest hirearchy.

He deserved to be cheered off, he was awful yet again. That miss (about the 3rd open net he has missed this season alone) was disgraceful. He should not be captain - take it off him and let him concentrate on playing. Another awful game last night, what a shame to see Nico leave on such a note. Also, when will the Guthrie lovers sit up and admit that their new Messiah is nothing special?

I presume that when Megson lets it be known that Nolan is indispensible, he is simply trying to boost the confidence of a player who he needs to restore to the form of previous years. In other words, his comments are for his skipper's benefit rather than ours.

Having said that, there comes a point when his lack of pace, poor passing, and tendency to foul needlessly to ruin promising positions,(not to mention his haranguing of the referee and of colleagues who are actually having good games!) become a liability we must get rid of.

Replacements please. You have to give us your replacement list for Nolan. Perhaps Joey Barton he'll be on the cheap side.When BSA gets rid. Hey what about a swap deal!!!

I made this point really badly. What I meant was, how attractive are Bolton to potential transfer targets ? Booing your own players cannot help.

Trotter, this agreeing with each other can't possibly last, but let's enjoy it while it does. If come May we survive by 1 point, it will have been worth sitting through last night's performance. But OMG, it is such hard work right now being a BWFC fan. How do you think we will do on Saturday? I would like to see Andranik ( obviously ) Fojut ( if he's back ) Sinclair and maybe another look at Alonso and Braaten. Al Habsi too.

joanna wrote:
Replacements for Nolan? Well, within the club there is Andranik who has never disappointed when given a chance, has an eye for a goal, a terrific engine and more pace than Nolan.
From outside the club within our budget, there is Smertin who admittedly won't score many but has proven quality at this level. Gera would be adequate. Incidentally, I notice Healey can't get in the Fulham team at the moment: is he worth a bid?

Yep, that tops the lot.

Are you on this site to talk about BWFC. If so you need to be constructive and try to justify your comments. I very much doubt that any potential signings would read these comments. They are for fans. Are you a fan?

What planet are you on? Do you really think players that the club try to sign will read a message board to see what the fans think? They've probably never even heard of the Bolton News. And I have to agree with Julie, booing Kevin Nolan was the worst thing you have seen? I remember that night at Portman Road but oh no, booing the captain for a diabolical performance is obviously far far worse. Get real Geoff.

Julie, I wasn't at Heysel, or Hillsborough. You probably weren't either. I didn't see what happened at Belsen or Auschwitz. There are plenty of nasty things I know about but didn't see! Well done for taking everything completely out of context. I was however at the Leicester and Ipswich matches to which you refer. Again, these two instances had nothing whatsoever with the attitude or behaviour of Bolton Supporters. Please don't try and score browny points by making stupid comments! The treatment of Kevin Nolan by SO CALLED Bolton fans was disgrac eful and made me feel very ashamed of being a Bolton supporter. I've felt even worse by the utter garbage I've just read on this page today. Congratulations to you all!

Can I please ask what the 15,000 or so Bolton fans did to get behind the team on Wednesday? I think I remember there being 3 times were the fans actually 'got behind them'. It's all very well getting behind the team, but it would be nice if we actually saw that from the 'fans'. Even Sky Sports commented on 'we hear the Reebok Roar' for the first time tonight. And that was after about 65 minutes! It's about time some supporters actually made some noise instead of having the belief that if you don't have something positive to say, you just sit there with your hands under your backside to keep warm. A lot of fans on here are very two faced, and you know who you are.
