"Bolton Wanderers Vs Yeovil Town Saturday 28th September 2013"  1 -1

    This was my first match of the season at the Reebok. I had been away and things had gone from bad to worse since the opening game at Burnley .We had now drawn 3 and lost 5 , and been knocked out of the Capital One Cup by Tranmere.Yeovil were above us with 4 points . It felt strange to be in this position after years in the Premiership. In fact things were so bad it was almost funny . The crowd seemed relaxed , safe in the belief that things could surely not get any worse. The first 10 minutes seemed to suggest we would soon be on the way to our first 3 points. A win was expected , we were on a hiding to nothing . The game evened out, and was not great to watch , my concentration wandered and I started messing with my phone. Roll on half time . I was not on the motorbike so I treated myself to a pint of Carling.The 2nd half was much of the same, until the 80th minute that is .I had a perfect view , the shot was long range , Bogdan had it covered and made an easy save , then , almost like laying a egg it popped out from under his backside and trickled into the net . What a moment for the traveling Yeovil fans behind the net. A comedy goal and on their way to 3 points against BWFC. Things had just got worse and to be honest I felt ok and even smiled at the funny side of the goal . So ten  minutes left to rescue a point, I didn't hold out much hope . Then one minute into extra time we scored, I didn't really celebrate, but did wonder if this marked the start of a change in fortune .  

Verdict

A strange atmosphere , maybe it was the shock of being 1-0 down against Yeovil ( no offense ), it felt like a win when we equalized(in extra time) and I went away feeling relieved rather than happy .
