Saturday's match report by Alan Houghton. 📝

Another early start, another long trip, this time into the Lion’s Den at Millwall. Breakfast was at Oxford Services, and we arrived before they opened the gates. In the blazing sunshine, we enjoyed a couple of pints of Camden Helles and a friendly chat with the Millwall fans. Our hopes were high after the encouraging display at Sheffield United. Even though we had lost on Tuesday, there was a good feeling in that we had really had a go at a top Championship team. It had been cruel in the end and we hoped that lessons would be learnt. Millwall for their part had suffered two bad defeats and had an horrendous injury list.

The three points were up for grabs as Steven Schumacher named an unchanged starting eleven. What followed was the Good, the Bad and in the end, downright Ugly. The good was that we attacked them from the start and created chances. The bad was that we didn’t take those chances and then conceded a soft goal from a corner. Instead of being two up, we were one down at half-time. The good continued at the beginning of the second half with us on the attack but again we were missing chances. Things turned decidedly ugly when an horrendous goalkeeping error gifted Millwall a second goal. The referee somehow saw red as Josh Sheehan tangled with Jenson Metcalfe and we were down to 9 men as Lewis Brunt limped off after we had run out of substitutes. We fell apart in the last ten minutes, and it was a relief to hear the final whistle before Millwall could add to their four goals.

Most Wanderers fans were visibly shaken at how things had gone so badly pear-shaped. Any confidence we had been building up, just evaporated. Thoughts of making a go of it this season turned to thoughts of survival. Overreaction maybe, as it is still very early days. Everybody has their own thoughts on the transfer window activities. At the end of the day, we have done our best within the financial limitations of our club. Remember that we are still recovering from nearly going out of business. It is Steven Schumacher’s job to make the best of what he has been given and create a team that can achieve Championship safety. We need to learn to defend, take our chances and to see matches out.

Saturday's match report by Alan Houghton. 📝

We all trooped down to the Toughsheet to see the Wanderers take on the fellow promoted Imps from Lincoln. The Doombar deliberations were upbeat after our defensive heroics at QPR last week and this week’s incoming transfers. Three internationals on the same bus; a Canadian, a Japanese and a Northern Ireland boosting our ranks. Also, a fond farewell to Cyrus Christie, who has seen us through some tough times. Hopes were high that another victory would add to our good start back in the Championship, arguably exceeding our initial expectations. With eleven new signings on board, Stephen Schumacher has now got the selection problems any manager would want; how to settle them all in and get the best out of them.

Samuel Iling-Junior came in on the right wing, with Gaizka Larrazabal dropping to the bench. For the first 45 minutes, we were brilliant. Lightning raids down both wings, we played some fast-flowing attacking football. What we lacked were goals as we spurned three or four good chances. Would we be made to pay for those missed chances? The answer was ‘yes’, as Lincoln came out for the second half a different team. For the first 20 minutes after half-time, they upped their game and ran the Wanderers ragged. Sure enough, they got their goal after 65 minutes. We huffed and we puffed but couldn't blow the Imps’ house down. We got a glimpse of new signing, Jayden Nelson late on and he promises to be a good attacking player. We just hope that he has got a few goals in him, as that is what is missing at the moment.

Won one, drawn one and lost one is not a bad start for a promoted team. We need time sort out our squad, but our first-half performance showed that we are heading in the right direction. The transfer window finishes on Tuesday night and most fans would like to see another striker coming in. I suspect that there may be a few outgoing as we try to balance our squad numbers. Lincoln City showed us that there will be no easy games in the Championship and that we will have to fight for every point. Games are coming up fast and furious with four matches in the next fortnight, all against tough teams. Points won’t come easy in this league and we need to go and fight for them.

Saturday's match report by Alan Houghton. 📝

Back to the days of sleep deprivation, we assembled at the Toughsheet at 7:30am for the 434 miles round trip to the Matrade Loftus Road stadium to take on the current league leaders, albeit after only 1 match, Queens Park Rangers. Full English breakfast at Warwick Services, we were soon back in the old routine, arriving in good time for some pre-match refreshments. However, finding those refreshments is not easy in Shepherds Bush as we went into a local, well stocked Sports Club bar, only to be told that they did not have a licence to serve alcohol on match days! However, all was not lost as the bouncers at the Queens Tavern, let a few Wanderers fans in and we had a good chat with the locals, even meeting one QPR fan, who claimed to be a great nephew of Nat Lofthouse. Memories of Stan Bowles, Rodney Marsh and Led Zeppelin flowed and it appeared that Donald Trump is a hero down there, with his picture in a QPR shirt nestling behind the bar. We discussed our different hopes for the season with the QPR fans looking to a promotion drive, while we are looking at survival. After our excellent start last week, we were hoping for a point to keep it going.

Luca Stephenson failed to make the line up and Lewis Brunt stepped in at right back. The large Bolton contingent were well up for this one and Boy, were we needed. The Hoops were at us from the start, and we never really got going in an attacking sense. They threatened to overrun us and at times, it was like the Alamo. But we stood firm, with our defence performing heroics and Jack Bonham having the game of his life, saving us on so many occasions, that I lost count. A well-earned point in the end, which keeps our good start going.

There are going to be a lot of games like this, particularly away from home, as we get used to playing at the higher level. Our squad needs time to adapt and get used to each other. Defensively, we seem to have a lot of experience and cover. Midfield will be better, when we get our absentees back but it is up front that we are lightweight right now, with three out of four wingers inexperienced at this level. But, get better we will.
