No they won’t.

We could smash West Ham 3-0 Sunday and totally dominate them,  and they would be out in force saying

*It's only West ham

* there bottom for a reason

*it should of been 6

*SG got lucky

Anyone who thinks that win was comfortable has a short memory. Moving on, it doesn't look like he'll get the boot just yet so let's see what happens against West Ham.

And I bet you are fuming we won after your comments during g the match.

Thought Luiz staked a claim but didn't think Chambers did himself any favours. New centre back can't arrive quick enough for me

I've been calling for Chambers to start ahead of Konsa, but he didn't do himself any favours

Pretty poor in the first-half and memorable for endless over-hit through-balls.

It looked like a foul leading up to their goal but very glad there was no VAR for the penalty.

Worst decision was the linesman giving Watkins offside, in his own half.

It should have been six but for some lousy finishing towards the end.

Great to see Bailey score.

Would have been nice if Gerrard knew how many away fans we took!

3 to 4k.

No Steven, look on the offical site 5,246!

That small annoyance aside a good performance in the second half and hopefully we can take some confidence into the match on the weekend. UTV

Anything to beat him with,  feck me that's a new low

I'm really looking forward to the next manager you don't like to start wheeling these quotes back at you

[Brumerican]

Archer looks brilliant in an around the danger zone.

Player of the match* Ashley Young. Excellent game and a captains performance. 

*I dont usually use the term but it annoys all the right people, so I will start doing so from now on.

Poor start where a fired up Bolton team looked better for 30 mins against a side low on confidence. 

But in the end we stuck with it, improved significantly second half and took a comfortable win. 

There are plenty of sticks to beat Gerrard with but tonight isn't one. 

Huge game for him Saturday. 

Yes, they have Bournemouth at home, massive

SG didn't know all of our fans dates of birth either. The man is a fraud!

[picicata]

What a State

Out of sorts Premier League team going away to Bolton on a Tuesday night cup game has banana skin written all over it. Could easily have gone that way after most of that first half. 

However, as the game.went on, we did what we needed (and got a bit of good fortune), and could have scored a couple more. Hopefully gives everyone a much needed boost to tackle West Ham.

Can only beat what's in front of you, and we did that. Hopefully Gerrard has learnt something from the game too.

Was a very enjoyable game I thought. Bolton a confident team and gave it everything to make it difficult for us in the first half. I remember thinking they would be able to keep that up and would fade in last 20 mins and that’s what happened. 
 

Thought we played OK for first 20 mins, goal which looked a clear foul then rocked us and we were pretty average for rest of half. Mentality monsters we are not! 
 

Second half the extra fitness and bit of quality came through. Few players will take a good bit from the game and a much needed confidence boost ahead of what will be a much bigger test at the weekend.

Not going to hang around here for long because there are going to be some very angry, disgruntled people spouting a load of shit about how we are rubbish because we beat a league 1 side 4-1 and this just proves even more Gerrard should be sacked immediately.

Well you guys took a bit of a beating tonight. Sorry for you.

I enjoyed the match. Can’t remember when I actually last enjoyed a cup match, it seems to have been a long time.

Well done lads, took our chances well.

Oh get off your high horse pal. We struggled badly for large periods of the game, and if you cannot see that, I strongly suggest a visit to the nearest optometrist.

I’ve seen loads of these performances under Smith as well. Maybe just maybe the players aren’t that good. Martinez is a top 4 player. The rest are much of a muchness and probably wouldn’t get in any top 8 side for consistency. Not defending Gerrard but I don’t know what you lot of seen of this team to think we are anything other than an 11/12 place PL team.

Smith never put out a £300m side against a league 1 side
