Scorers: Nuno Valente

Boys got beat 2-1. Good news Nuno netted and is in the running for Saturdays visit to West Ham. Andy Holden is ruing the lack of experience however in his reserve side.

Andy says: I thought before the game kicked off they might be a little bit too strong for us over the 90 minutes. I thought we were exceptional in the first 45 minutes and I didn't want half time to come. Bolton must have got a rocket at half time because they came out a different team in the second half.

They had too much nouse for our young players in every area, from goalkeeper through to defenders, midfielders and centre forwards. I am pleased for Nuno. He is one of the nicest lads in the camp and one of the best foreign boys I have ever worked with." (19/04/07)
