Bolton Wanderers 0 Burnley 1

It was sweet sixteen for Sam Vokes as Burnley buried their Reebok hoodoo to strengthen second spot in the Championship.
|
The Clarets had not won away to Wanderers for nearly 30 years, stretching way back to 1985.
But Welsh striker Vokes ended that barren run just before the hour mark with his 16th goal of the campaign.
And that precious strike - the 40th of the season for the prolific Vokes and Danny Ings partnership - was enough to settle a blood-and thunder Lancashire derby of few clear cut chances.
Clarets boss Sean Dyche named an unchanged side for the fourth game in a row.
Opposition manager Dougie Freedman made two changes from his side’s frustrating 2-2 draw with Bournemouth last weekend with David Wheater and Medo replacing Zat Knight and Mark Davies.
And it was the home side that made the brighter start when Chung-Yong Lee cut in from the left wing and tested Tom Heaton, moments after the Burnley stopper had slipped whilst clearing an unexpected back pass.
Bolton came close to breaking the deadlock after nine minutes when Lee’s shot deflected over Heaton and struck the crossbar following former Claret Chris Eagles’ mazy run and low cross.
Burnley’s first effort came four minutes later when Danny Ings produced a speculative effort from outside the area; however the striker’s attempt never looked like testing Adam Bogdan.
Seconds later though, the Clarets had a real opportunity to take the lead after Ings’ clever flick sent Scott Arfield bearing down on goal only to volley wide from the edge of the box.
And with nothing to separate the two sides in the first half, Lukas Jutkiewicz almost found himself clean through on goal only for Michael Duff to make an important tackle as the last defender.
However, 20 seconds after the restart Burnley almost grabbed the initiative.
Ings’ good work set up David Jones, who unleashed a powerful left footed strike destined for the bottom corner that Bogdan was equal to with a strong glove.

Looks like a first choice starting eleven for us again 
Just looking at some stats - we've only won 1 away game since October.
Bolton have got a fairly@#$%&home record though. But we've not won at Bolton since 1985.
Time to sort them out.

We've always struggled against them, can't recall too many victories.
Time to put that right. We need to be beating shite like this.
I'd take a point mind, especially if Derby win tonight.

I'll be surprised and very disappointed if we don't win this.

They're doing dreadfully again aren't they? Coyle didn't half @#$%& them up.
Amounts staked on Betfair so far,
Bolton...£685
Burnley...£2,107
Draw...£1,760
Not much money for a Bolton win.

A club we always seem to perform poorly at for some reason.
Think I've seen one good performance against them in about 10 away.
Not that they should have any effect on tomorrow.

Ive been to Burnden 3 times and Reebok 3 times. Never seen us win yet.
Some hairy scary days at Burnden.

A win tomorrow will open up a three point gap between second and third.. lets hope the lads can produce the goods again..
Time to put some air between us and the pack. Come on Burnley

I think Bolton are playing one up top (Jutkiewicz) and they have no striker on the bench.

Great win.
Had some pretty miserable visits to Bolton over the years. In more ways than one.

Important 3 points as well, 4 difficult fixtures up next.
"A truth’s initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed. It wasn’t the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn’t flat. When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic."
"The ideal tyranny is that which is ignorantly self-administered by its victims. The most perfect slaves are, therefore, those which blissfully and unawaredly enslave themselves."

I thought we were abysmal first half-hour, we just couldn't cope with them, especially Trippier and Duff who were having mares. Second half we were better and after we scored very impressive, just crushed the life right out of them, got them on the floor and never let them back up.

I had no idea there was all that space at the far end. I thought it was completely full !
So thats why the dicks closed half of the turnstiles, causing massive queues to get in.

The "searching everyone upon entry to the ground" policy was a pisstake and didn't work as flares still got through, it just causes queues and made people annoyed and therefore drinking more in a quicker time!!
