Bolton comms saying they expect us to sit back and try and run down the clock!

Well if that happens it could be a cricket score.

Let off for Thierry Small on his debut. Loose pass gifts the ball to Adeboyejo on the edge of the Charlton box, luckily the cross is blocked and the Addicks debutant is back to win a goal-kick.

One of the worst passes I've ever seen. Got lucky.

Wow. Some of our mistakes at the back are becoming circus quality.

ForeverAddickted

For the most part we're pressing Bolton well whenever they get the ball, instantly in their faces

rina

that's our customary defensive mistake out the way early and for once we didn't concede. think we can class that as a win

ForeverAddickted

Charlton corner, after some good build up play

SDAddick

We have already kept the ball better in the final third than we did for the first 60 minutes on Tuesday.

I remember sweaties first home game for us when he scored his first OG, we all thought he will be useless

ForeverAddickted

Maybe should have had penalty

Watson got a pull in the box, Stubbers saying on Comms it wasnt enough to be a foul though

Second corner after Bolton weakly get Coventry's lofted cross away from goal

Foul on the Goalkeeper for the second.

Foul given to Bolton as the corner comes over, free-kick.

What does the ref see there to give Bolton the free kick from our corner..

se9addick

Do we have any fans there?

Best way to get rid of defensive mistakes is for the defenders to just get rid of it upfield.....Les Berry style.

Important clearance from Jones to deal with Dempsey's low cross

ForeverAddickted

My stream suddenly jumped from us being in their box, to one of our Centre-Backs making a clearance from a low cross

They now have a FK over to the right of our box

cantersaddick

Well it's been far more open a start to the match than I expected. 

Jones looking solid at the back and we have got into their box in numbers a few times. Positive signs. I hope.

Not convinced by Coventry's corners, which are rather slow and loopy and look easy to defend against.

ForeverAddickted

Dobson deals with their Free Kick, ball goes back to their Goalkeeper

SDAddick

I like coming out and pressing Bolton. I think our team in general looks better when pressing rather than trying to sit deep. But we have to be mindful that if we don't win the ball or force a bad pass Bolton can play through you easily. 

ForeverAddickted

Impressed again with Kanu's work rate early on

Dazzler21

My stream is a bit stuttery. So far we don't look second to them, but we're 8 mins in.
