Image
Bolton Wanderers were left frustrated after narrow defeat to Rotherham They suffered a frustrating evening at the Toughsheet Community Stadium as a dominant performance failed to yield a result, with Rotherham United snatching a 1-0 win through Sam Nombe's early strike. Author - Mark Lee The visitors took full advantage of their only clear-cut chance, capitalising on a misplaced pass from Gethin Jones in the 11th minute. Nombe finished clinically to give the Millers the lead against the run of play. From that moment on, it was one-way traffic as Bolton relentlessly pressed forward in search of an equaliser. Despite creating numerous opportunities, Wanderers were repeatedly denied by an inspired performance from Rotherham goalkeeper Cameron Dawson.

Gig Review: Kula Shaker and Ocean Colour Scene

Image
Kula Shaker and Ocean Colour Scene create a party atmosphere in Manchester A sensational night of music at one of Manchester's most iconic music venues Author - Josh D For some reason, you just knew this was going to be a special night almost immediately. A closer look at Kula Shaker A band that might not necessarily have been as well known to the crowd. 90s Britpop fans will have been well aware, but for younger members of the crowd, Kula Shaker wasn't as well-known as some of their contemporaries. Within minutes though, everyone was certainly enjoying themselves. There is a distinction between being billed as a support act and being labelled a special guest. Kula Shaker, known for their established reputation and unique style, made it clear they were the latter. The night was off to a good start. Now for Ocean Colour Scene The bond between the band and their fans was palpable throughout the set, with a great mix of ages and backgrounds in the crowd. This didn’t go unn...

Football: Bolton Wanderers 0 - 2 Wycombe Wanderers

Bolton's play-offs dented again Bolton Wanderers' hopes of securing a play-off place took another hit as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Wycombe, extending their difficult run of form to three straight losses. Author - Sophie T Steven Schumacher's side struggled to create clear chances at the Toughsheet Community Stadium and failed to register a single shot on target over the 90 minutes. The result leaves Wanderers outside the top six with just three matches remaining and puts serious pressure on their promotion ambitions. A frustrating afternoon took a further turn when former Bolton loanee Caleb Taylor, who scored a late winner for Wycombe the previous weekend, returned to haunt his old side. The defender opened the scoring in the 58th minute, rising highest to head home from Luke Leahy’s well-delivered free-kick.

Football: Lincoln City 4 - 2 Bolton Wanderers

Image
Lincoln all but ended Bolton’s play-off ambitions on Easter Monday. This was achieved with a pulsating 4-2 win at the LNER Stadium, where veteran striker James Collins struck twice. Author - Sophie T Erik Ring and Reeco Hackett were also on the scoresheet for the hosts. Jay Matete and Alex Murphy replied for Bolton, who slipped to a fourth straight defeat at the worst possible time. The Imps took an early lead when Ring’s inswinging cross, delivered from a short corner routine, sailed through a crowded box and nestled into the far corner of Nathan Baxter’s net. Ben House went close to doubling the advantage, but Baxter saved well from his flicked effort. Moments later, Lincoln were awarded a penalty after Ethan Erhahon was bundled over by David Abimbola.  Collins then stepped up and lashed the spot-kick into the roof of the net to make it 2-0 after just 17 minutes.
