Newcastle Utd 0, Wanderers 0.
WANDERERS produced a determined rearguard action to spoil Kevin Keegan's homecoming party.
On the back foot for much of the second half, they shut out the Newcastle attack, frustrating the Toon Army and denying Keegan a win on his emotional return to Tyneside.
The better side in the first half, Wanderers had to withstand much more pressure in the second as Newcastle were more threatening.
David Rozehnal and Shola Ameobi went close with headers and Ricardo Gardner and Andy O'Brien had to make vital tackles on the dangerous Ameobi. But the only save Jussi Jaaskelainen had to make was from a dipping cross by James Milner.
And Wanderers could even have snatched all three points had Shay Given not pulled off a sensational reflex save to blcok Jlloyd Samuel's shot in the last minute of normal time Newcastle Utd: Given; Carr, Taylor, Cacapa, Jose Enrique; Milner, Rozehnal, N'Zogbia, Duff; Ameobi, Owen. Subs: LuaLua for Duff 80 mins. Not used: Edgar, Troisi, Carroll, Harper.
Wanderers: Jaaskelainen; Steinsson, Andy O'Brien, Michalik, Gardner; Joey O'Brien; Guthrie, Nolan, McCann, Taylor; Davies. Subs: Campo for Nolan 67 mins, Cohen for MCCann 76 mins, Samuel for Taylor 79 mins. Not used: Stelios, Al-Habsi.
Referee: Alan Wiley (Staffs).
Attendamce: 52,250.

OK, BWFC- last 1. Charlotte, hope the commentary OK. Thought Steinson looked good, Taylor a bit sloppy, but first match. Very disappointed again with team selection and our approach to the match. Far too defensive for me, too much sitting back without the ball. It was there for the taking had we bothered to go forward. And Im supposed to be the negative one? Davies and Michalik best for me.

match was a little scale & boring what happen to the players been fired up, more like fired down . Poor midfield in fact, and players out of position didnt help. Why was they a centre back playing in midfield for ? this was a little odd.
Poor attack from newcastle, and owen for captain. Did he even once try and fire the players up to play owen ? he seem that he wasn't really in it tonight.
Bolton were the better side overall, but i was expecting us to win 4-0, or at least 2-0 tonight. I didn't see a bore draw coming at all.
Keegan needs to get in the transfer market fast, and start moving some of the deadwood which played tonight out

Great point. Perfect performance just to annoy the maggies. Tough to stay awake but i thought Taylor looked OK and Steinsson looked solid. Back four good, midfield strong but lacking creativity. I hope Senegal get knocked out soon. We might have to draw every game 0-0 until the end of the season, just cant see where goals are going to come from. Not pace upfront, dont seem as strong on set peices, no specialist free kick taker, and no penalty taker. Anyway, lets keep the faith.

If Davies had gone off injured after 10 minutes we would have had Stelios up front on his own. The other awful decision was playing J O'Brien instead of Stelios in midfield. Its BASIC stuff - put good players on the pitch, leave poor players on the bench. I am getting used to the fact that Nolan will never be dropped, but this 1 striker in the whole squad and pretending O'Brien is a midfielder is taking things just too far.

On paper it was a good result HOWEVER they were there for the taking. Having weathered the first 15-20 mins which didnt take much weathering i could see that these f*ckwits were there to be chewed up and spat out however Bolton's approach in the second half was terrible. Again though on paper very happy with a draw.
An absolute bag of sh.ite. You had one chance -Samuel in the last minute. I'm amazed that you are happy with pee poor football - one up front. It's absolutely awful stuff that will drive more fans away from home games. Let's have some honesty, that was terrible.

With Matty Taylor in the ranks I think Gardner should be pushed up. He has blistering pace and can take on anyone on his day. Plus you look back over this season he is guilty of some stupid decisions whilst defending and we have nothing going forward. Some pace and trickery is well needed. Cause Kevin Davies wont supply it!

quality manager than Sammy Lee may have made some better signings.
Megson has done a lot better than I thought he would so fairplay. We
just need to stop burying our heads in the sand and get back to playing
like a unit whilst adding some attractive football to the mix

OK, BWFC- last 1. Charlotte, hope the commentary OK. Thought Steinson looked good, Taylor a bit sloppy, but first match. Very disappointed again with team selection and our approach to the match. Far too defensive for me, too much sitting back without the ball. It was there for the taking had we bothered to go forward. And Im supposed to be the negative one? Davies and Michalik best for me.

O'Brien can pass it upto 10 yards, but like Nolan when looking further than this it becomes a big boot upfield, no guile or class. I just dont understand what O'Brien brings to the side that justifies leaving so many players sat in the stands. Let's be serious, O'Brien instead of Stelios or Andranik???

I want to be supportive of Megson because I like a lot of what he does and says, but it is worrying that the O'Briens, Davies's and Nolans are 1st on the teamsheet while flair players cant even get on the bench. I was very concerned to read yesterday that any new striker would have to dislodge Davies from the team. That sounds like 1. We're going to be playing with 1 up front for the rest of the season and 2. Megson is not confident of signing a better striker than our 1 goal in 20 games target man.
Jon I happen to like Andranik as well and remember all the players you mention. For me its not an either or thing.Megson has his own reasons for not picking Andranik and I am as puzzled as the next as to what those reasons are.We can speculate that its about a "not losing games" mentality and it obviously looks like at the weekend O'Brien was considered more of a defensive option than Andranik.They are different types of players in the same way as say Kelly v McAteer. great memories of both.
