All three promoted staying up is nice, though it woudl've been even nicer had one of them got top half.

So we end the season with a 1-1 draw against Stevenage, who we beat 4-1 away. We actually shouldve been 3-0 up after 5 mins with the chances we made in the first 5, and could've won by 6 maybe 7, but as Bolton are Bolton they sky basically all of them including one that literally was an open goal. Last six being 4 losses 2 draws sure isn't how I wanted the season to end, but at least it wasn't 6 losses in a row like Huddersfield I suppose. I reckon Hudds will sign Evatt as manager So Luton join us in League One, with back to back relegations. Ouch to them. Hope that isn't them in a free promotion spot, but then when you've been that bad for years I guess who knows... wouldn't have thought a team who were in the Prem in 2024 would be in League One a year later... We finished 8th in the end, higher than we finished in our first season bac in Legaue One which is funny. Worse year despite that, since we expected promotion

Wow, we didn't lose for once. Should've tho, gave away two pens. Other than that, nothing really happened and you could tell it was a pointless end of season game. Wrexham getting three promotions in a row and we can't even get one is pain. We used to be four leagues above them (as did Cardiff..who now replace them in L1)

Can anyone beat being sixth with 2 games in hand (win both were 1 point off second) and then losing 7/9 and dropping out of it entirely? that might just be the worst finish in history

I'm using it as an insult. Another loss today, now 7 losses in 9. Maybe now that we can’t qualify for the play offs they’ll stop being terrible. Doubt it tho, we’ll probably lose the last two as well. All we had to do was not lose 7 in 9 and we'd be top 6.

Lost again. Shoemaker has lost 8 games already. When does he start to worry about his job? 7 wins, 8 losses. Dire. Even a few draws in there would've had us top 6.

another loss, there we go. they were so shit today that four guys got subbed off in the first half

we had 28 shots and lost 1-0. they going for the miss world record. annoying. out the top 6 again

Well that was dreadful. Against anyone else we probably lose. Why were they scared of shooting? BR played for 0-0. At 0-1, they actually started playing and had 4 shots. Why only do that with 15 to go? Do that all match and they win easily. I only remember that as the return of Lee Chung Yong after a year out injured. Past me must've been furious. And you seemingly didn't even need the point

Ye of the last 5 seasons, we've only been in teh same league in 5 of them. But play in pre season during years we're not, for obvious reasons, so 5 years of pre season matches too. We didn't win any of them either, lmao. So if you count only competitive matches, it was five seasons worth of mostly losses with the occasional draw - that extends to ten with the five seasons we didn't play "official matches" (but we still counted pre season and even they were pretty fiesty games) its only really since admin we started caring about Wigan, so the first five years of it we didn't even really care. I guess not beating them so long+the animosity caused from hundreds of their fans dancing outside our stadium after admin really kick started a proper rivalry. I do remember beating West Brom away in pre season tho!

One of them was in pre season, which still counts. Was also 5-1 (another pre season) and 5-2 (cup)

We beat Wigan. It's been a long ten years. Four 4-0 losses at home in a row. The curse is finally over. The fact Huddersfield and Reading bottled it and we're 6th again after three losses in a row is wild

3 losses in a row. good times. season wasnt over till till 3 losses on the trot

Rip top 6. We’ll be stuck in this shit league forever I said before Bham we’ll prob beat them and then tits it up and we did. Annoyed I was right. Standard Bolton. Game was prob about even and there’d be only one goal. Annoying it wasn’t ours. After Bham we were in the top 6 with a game in hand and then lost two and dropped out of it. Lovely times. Losing every time we’re top 6. We’re basically back to Evatt stuff. So that was the first of three consecutive derbys. Lost to Stockport at home, now to lose to Blackpool and Wigan away. Good times. We went in the space of 7 days only a few points off the top 2, to dropping back out the play offs

We lose every time we get in the top 6 lmao. RIP game in hand

So we beat Burton, and into the top 6 now. With the form we’ve been on it took far too long to get into the top 6. Two months ago we were the same points as 5th whilst in 9th then despite winning almost every match we somehow got further away (went from equal points to one point off with a record of 8 wins, 2 draws 1 loss). Hopefully now we remain top 6

The worst that anyone ever has. After their losing their fans even pushed that Bolton playing Bham is "our cup final", despite the fact we're a bigger club than them and as I said, it shouldn't be a shock at all that we beat them. They're the most big headed fan base to ever be in League One. They've been insufferable the entire season.

A lot will say that was a surprise win but I don’t think it is. We should be beating Birmingham at home even if they’ve spent 115 million. We’ve been in the prem more recently than them, were in good form, and when you look at the match history between then we actually doubled them most season we played them. I think they showed up thinking they would’ve won easily. Their fans the first 25 mins singing about Wembley and being top then we equalise and you don’t hear them the rest of the game. Their fans and players were far too complacent and thought they’d win just because they’re Birmingham. We can’t be scared of them just because of the money they’ve spent etc. win the play offs and there’s better teams than Birmingham in the Championship. When Evatt was sacked we were 9th but same points as 5th (5th-9th all on the same points). We’ve since won 5, drawn 1, and lost one to gain 16 points. Yet we’re still not in the top six and are one point behind. What a stupid as *Censored* league that despite all that’s happened we’re worse off than before he was was sacked. This league man. No way Evatt would've got 7 points out of 1st, 2nd, and 6th though. Only big game we won under him was the Pizza Cup final. Next two are Burton away (21st) and Bristol Rovers away (20th). We’ll probably lose them both because that’s Bolton.

Point/clean sheet away against third (Wrexham) isn't the worst result. 2 shots on target combined from both teams is poor. Both missed sitters. We 6th now for a few hours at least, lol. This could be a play off semi final, and both matches between them ended 0-0

We never able to put two good halves together. Least a win tho. Against the team in the league with the second best form. 5 wins in 6 since Evatt was sacked, though that's also coem with us going from 8th to 8th. oof

That first 60 mins was far too Evattesk. If they play like that it’ll be Evatt in a wig. No way Evatt gets that to 4-3 though. Crawley had maybe the most pathetic and disgusting time wasting I’ve ever seen. Multiple players faking head injuries and one guy pulling down Tutu’s shorts. Pathetic Also pretty sure I saw Johnstone punch their guy on the floor in the face? Steven Shoemaker, who won L1 with Plymouth

Delayed, but we lost the first match under the new manager which is fun. shouldve kept the caretaker i guess.

Well, anotehr win tonight against Kevin Nolan's Northampton. We were poor for most of that. As tho Evatt snuck back in with a wig. Wins a win though and 100% win rate Darby! 20 wins in a row here we come.

It's been a long time coming. he probably should've been sacked around January 2024. 2024 was a God awful year. In his last 42 matches, we won only 16 of them. It was a terrible terrible 12 months. At one point we were 1 point off second with three games in hand...and did not get to second cuz we jobbed out hard. I liked Ian a lot, but the last year has been painful. The 2-2 stoppage time draw to Cambridge wasn't even cheered, people actually booed an equalisier.

So first match without a manager, away against Huddersfield who were 16 unbeaten. And we win 1-0. It's like they were possessed. Really happy with that. Guess all that’s needed was a change. Keep it up! Maybe the triple caretaker manager should remain in charge lol. Altho we lost 4-1 on aggregate to Huddersfield technically!
