Bolton Wanderers fans react to Barnsley play-off defeat

Liam Kitching got the only goal on the night at Oakwell, powering a header past James Trafford after getting on the end of Luca Connell’s cross.

The Whites struggled to carve out chances at the other end, with Aaron Morley going closest to an equaliser.

Here is what Bolton supporters said about the game on social media

#bwfc we have had a good season. Proud of the lads for all they've done this year. Proud of the chairwoman, Sharon. Be proud as fans. We have a lot more to come next season and hopefully can kick on even higher up the league. Dont be too down, Our young players will learn/improve

Been poor over the 2 legs. Congratulations to Barnsley deserved over the 2 games tbh. We go again next season. Clubs in a great place under great ownership and a cracking manager in IE. Hope SWFC win the final after last nights efforts. Good luck to both #bwfc #Barnsley #SWFC

I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a season as much as this one. Shame not to get promotion, but a trophy and a playoff place is more than I expected #bwfc

Shame over the 2 legs we couldn’t do more, just feel we were a little bit tentative and didn’t play our proper football we’ve seen all season! Lots of positives to take from the season, onto the next one #bwfc

Congrats to Barnsley. Easily the best side over two legs. Plenty to do over the summer. #bwfc

Went out with a whimper, thats the frustrating thing. Not good enough over the 2 legs and Barnsley deserved it. Lots to learn, but a positive platform from thos season into next. Going the right way. #bwfc

Proud to be a wanderer, that crowd was immense from start to finish we played our part. We go again next year. #bwfc #coywm

Shame to have the season end in such s disappointing way. We just didn’t turn up in either game. Credit to Barnsley for defending well but we offered nothing going forwards. The lack of goals has been a big issue and obviously something we need to address next season. #BWFC

Barnsley been the better team over the 2 legs tbh. But I’ve no complaints. Bolton are still improving rapidly, we’ve won a cup & are in a great position to push towards automatic promotion next season 👏🏼

What an unbelievable season. We tried. We lost, we won a cup and finished in the play offs. Couldn’t ask for much a better season. Never have I had this much fun in a season in a long time. My club ! We go again next season! #BWFC
