It’s Monday 23rd February 2026 and in this evenings show we discuss ‘Pool bringing the pride back responding to the horror against Plymouth with an industrious midweek win against Mansfield, followed by a hard fought point against high flying Bolton at Horwich on Saturday, which could and probably should, have been all three.  

Mansfield 1-0

• Great finish from Ennis with back to goal after CJ pull back
• Horsfall magnificent at the back.  
• Plaudits also to BPF and back three who were solid
• Good to see Coullson back who did a good job when he came on

Bolton 2-2

• Early Bolton pressure, in Blackett-Taylor in three times on their left side
• Coulson body slamming Apter and generally cutting dangerous attacks out already, probably two down had CJ been playing there
• 12 girly punch from BPF corner clearance, second needless corner given away through no communications from the keeper
• 17 free header from Apter, thankfully powder puff and easy save for BPF
• 25 Goal bound Ennis header blocked by defender,, great break and ball in from Clarkson 
• 34 point blank save from BPF from Apter corner
• 41 brilliant fingertip save from BPF and corner save from under bar after billionth Bolton corner!!
• 53 Fletcher header miles wide from free-kick cross, big chance .
• 56 Bolton hit post, hits BPF head and goes out out - lucky as these sometimes go in!
• 60 Clarkson on Honeyman 
• 66 - GOAL, Toal header from a corner.
• 70 Anderson shoots wide after great work from Honeyman, gotta hit the target
• 70 Double subs, Ennis for Bloxham and Bowler for Anderson
• 73 - GOAL Coulson.  Cooly finished rebound after Bloxham cross/shot following good work from Bowler
• 76 Blackett-Taylor and Apter subbed for Bolton
• 77 GOAL Honeyman
• 86 GOAL Burstow, back post header
• 88 Sub: CJ for Coullson
• Seven minutes of injury time! WTF.
• Bowler blazes over after horse header cleared off line following corner melee
• Fletcher hits post after rounding keeper
• Fletcher free header wide from corner
• Bolton nearly win at the death, just firing wide of the post
