Interesting ... and certainly not the goal fest I was anticipating/hoping for!
Clearly Bolton's priority/strategy is to stop the other mob scoring so that if we do get headed, one or two goals will get the lead back. Even though it's low scoring, it's good to watch ... particularly when we win

We seem to be developing a sort of "arm wrestling" gamestyle. I found the last two games especially quite fascinating - certainly no complaints from the point of view of it being good to watch.
Reality always wins in the end.

Looks like Casboult is gone according to recent form...

Let's see how the comparison is at season's end. You'd hope for a much better %, as the status quo is not what we want... We don't want to be the side that consistently finishes in the bottom 6 but never gets thrashed and is difficult to beat! As for Casboult... a key forward of his size should be around 40 goals by now... a target of 22 (Wright, 2016) is embarrassingly modest.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Like Buddy and Cameron lead on 40 goals. They're the only two. Daniher on 38. Next big man is Riewoldt (J) on 35 and there's a bunch close behind.
I don't think anyone would compare Casboult to Buddy and Cameron, or the delivery that they receive.
