"• Joe Riley and Tom Eaves have entered the second chance saloon at Wanderers.Neil Lennon has welcomed the pair back from loan spells at Oxford United and Yeovil Town, respectively, and pledged to take a close look at whether they can force their way into his first-team plans.By the manager's own admission, he knows little about Riley – who was already out at the Kassam Stadium on his arrival in October – but he is keen to see whether the specialist full-back could save him some money in the transfer window.Eaves was re-integrated with the first team on Lennon’s first day in charge but loaned out to Yeovil just over a month later.The striker had been on the verge of leaving Wanderers and had a move to MK Dons lined-up in the final weeks of Dougie Freedman’s tenure, but Lennon insists he is open to Eaves challenging the likes of Craig Davies, Emile Heskey and Conor Wilkinson for a place up front."
• Bolton have lost only one of their last 10 games in all competitions. Their only defeat since October was 2-1 at Huddersfield in the Championship on 28 December.

Didn't think pratley played bad just an off day. Been impressed with him since lennon came in. From my angle behind the goal Leeds was a stonewall penalty, so was boltons. View from main stand upper according to pasty bob was it looked a dive.

Redfearn seems to believe our penalty shouldn't have been given but then he would say that being Leeds boss and all.

Still think their lad made bloomin sure he was going over Lonergan not a dive but a "making sure of contact" thing - which is a nonsense.

Redfearn needs to go back to college.

I was there and think we played well in atrocious conditions...certainly deserved at least a point.

Atrocious conditions? Ita January. Girl.

Its.

Today Lenny learned that Trotter, Prately and Danns possess not one ounce of creativity between them, and that relying on Eidur won't fly. Am I disappointed - no, we need to build a solid foundation, and the learning curve is not an overnight event. Am I positive for the future ...damn right I am

Credit to Leeds, who grafted, managed to stop us playing and break what little we actually created up. Can't add too much to what's been said. Agree Vela did well, Danns was off colour. I'd also say dive or not Lonergan hesitated with the pen and invited on himself. Also, as surprisingly well as Heskey has done, not sure he should really be starting ahead of Cravies in the long run

Good match we didn't capitulate after going down early doors and got a point in the end. Chungy we missed his enthusiasm and the impact it has on others to get going but we got there in the end. Sign of a good team on its way ?
Unbeaten Bolton well I never.
