FULL TIME: Bolton Wanderers 2 Burnley 1
4:53pm Saturday 9th February 2013 in Sport
BURNLEY were unable to hang on to David Edgar’s opener as Bolton Wanderers came from behind to win today’s Lancashire derby at the Reebok Stadium.
Edgar headed the Clarets into the lead in the 55th minute but Craig Davies came off the bench to equalise for the hosts 11 minutes later and fellow substitute David Ngog made it 2-1 with nine minutes to go.
The first half had produced few chances, with Craig Dawson heading Jay Spearing’s corner just wide for the host.
The Bolton defender again freed himself from a set piece, only to see his effort kept out by the feet of Lee Grant.
Burnley felt Zat Knight might have been shown a red card when he hauled down Danny Ings in a promising position, only for Chris Foy to instead opt to book the Bolton defender, and Ross Wallace then put the free kick over the bar.
But the Clarets took the lead early in the second half as Junior Stanislas swung in a left-wing corner and Chris McCann looped a header back across goal for centre back Edgar to nod in from close range.
Bolton opted to make a double substitution, bringing on Craig Davies and Ngog, and they were level in the 66th minute.
Lee Chung-Yong crossed from the left and Craig Davies was unmarked to head in off the underside of the bar.
The Clarets then lost Ross Wallace to injury and McCann had to block a shot from Marcos Alonso, who also forced a save out of Grant from a free kick.
But Bolton went ahead in the 81st minute as Ngog swivelled to turn Spearing’s long-range volley past the wrong-footed Grant from the edge of the box.

there may well be a few brfc fans on here with plenty to say but as far as im concerned being one place above bonleh on goal difference does not warrant any sort of gobsh1ting like an easily impressed dingle would at such a paltry achievement.

WeOnceGotAboveRoversdo you now admit rovers are a far superior club now even though being above your lot on goal difference is the equivalent of winning the egg and spoon race?

You really are t u r d you will remain below us now, you smelly dirty inbreds go back and crawl in your hole, your fleeting moment of glory is now over you will always be eclipsed by the mighty Rovers. Wait til you come to Ewood you are about to get smashed 3-0 then we can give you hell again. I am really looking forward to that one I am sure you will be smashing up your town centre again good old Burnley the dump of England!
Only BIGGER!!

I'll tell you now, as a Clarets supporter, we won't win at Ewood, and it is as certain as night follows day. Try not to kid yourselves by trying to see or spin positivity where none exist. Burnley look idea-less going forward, lacking creativity and initiative. If anything, they look too strategic and predictable, players seem to be lacking their own spontaneity and individualistic expression, which has been, and always is, a player's ultimate strength. Stifled is the word I would use.

15 to 20 years ago being 2 or 3 divisions about the claret 5cum , playing top clubs in front of packed stadiums
Being in a dog 5hit league with half full ground (at least they're the proper fans) and enjoying being ahead of the filth even if its only on goal diff.

Just remember that the only position that matters is the one at the end of play on the fnal day of the season,the rest of your comments have more to do with bull%^^^ than football and a lot of you lot are going to look a bit stupid then.
