Wow! What a ride but somehow Trotters end up with a point.
The Baggies dominated play for long periods but Wanderers had several good chances. the most notable one was 13 minutes in when Gary Cahill could not nod Petrov's cross low enough to get into the net.
On the upnote Johan Elmander's left-footed goal early in the 2nd Half had myself giddy with a 0-1 scoreline. The Scandanavian has found his form this year under Manager Coyle. Oh why was he wasted the last two years? But after some anxious minutes Morrison snatched the equalizer for the Baggies and that was that. An away point is great, of course, but I was greedy for the three points.
The end result is seven games into the season Bolton has eight points, exactly the same number of points as last year at this time. Of course, last year September was the best month for the Wanderers. In fact the Gary Megson managed team's high point were 11 points from eight games last October, before the 2009-2010 Wanderers ringing up only 28 points over the remaining seven months. I'll hope we can ignore that miserable fate, especially with a home fixture against Stoke following the international break.
