Man of the Match KEITH BRANAGAN OLDHAM'S weak finishing meant the Wanderers' keeper only had one serious save to make but his confidence, clean handling and perfect positioning made the job look easy. Far and away the tidiest performance in an untidy game. Magic moment THE 55th minute move when Paatelainen and Sellars paved the way and Blake powered past Garnett to force Kelly to make the save of the game. A rare moment of quality on an otherwise forgetable afternoon. Moan of the Match WAS that booing we heard at the end coming from sections of the Bolton crowd?

The players thought it was and were left wondering what more they had to do to satisfy their supporters ... other than winning the Championship by a mile!
