2012/13 Match Notes & Ratings

4-2 v Reading (h) 19th May 2013
by Gordon Thrower

One good save in the first half. No chance with the goals. Otherwise not over-employed.

2-0 v Wigan Athletic (h) 20th April 2013
by Gordon Thrower

Two superb saves and a few more that were a lot easier. One uncomfortable one though.

2-2 v Manchester United (h) 17th April 2013
by Gordon Thrower

One awful moment in the second half but he pulled off a number of decent saves.

2-3 v Tottenham Hotspur (h) 25th February 2013
by Gordon Thrower

Best game for us by far. Reminded me of how well he always played against us.

1-0 v Swansea (h) 2nd February 2013
by Gordon Thrower

A bit like QPR he was unemployed for much of the time. One save played the ball back into danger but redeemed himself with his late cut out from a dangerous cross.

1-1 v Queens Park Rangers (h) 19th January 2013
by Gordon Thrower

The ref touched the ball more than he did. He should have thawed out in time for the Arsenal match.

2-2 v Manchester United (h) 5th January 2013
by Gordon Thrower

One good save. Otherwise largely unemployed.

2-1 v Norwich City (h) 1st January 2013
by Gordon Thrower

Had barely anything to to if truth be told.

1-2 v Everton (h) 22nd December 2012
by Gordon Thrower

Partly culpable for the goal and his kicking wasn’t at its best today.

3-1 v Chelsea (h) 1st December 2012
by Gordon Thrower

Some excellent saves to keep us in the game at key moments – though we’ll gloss over that throw out to Ramires!

0-0 v Manchester City (h) 3rd November 2012
by Gordon Thrower

A couple of decent saves though there was one “heart in mouth” moment in the second half.

1-2 v Wigan Athletic (a) 27th October 2012
by Rob Chapman

A good save right at the death immediately followed up by maddeningly poor distribution. A microcosm of the game, and his season some might argue. Ultimately at fault for the second goal too.

4-1 v Southampton (h) 20th October 2012
by Gordon Thrower

A pretty quiet day for the ‘keeper really. A bit sow off his line on one occasion prompting a few words between him and Reid but I can’t remember him having to make any real saves.

1-3 v Arsenal (h) 6th October 2012
by Gordon Thrower

One or two of his parries were a little unconvincing and I thought he could have made more of an effort with the third.

1-1 v Sunderland (h) 22nd September 2012
by Gordon Thrower

The goal apart, which gave him little chance, he didn’t have a save worthy of the name to make.

0-0 v Norwich City (a) 15th September 2012
by Robert Watson

He kept us in the game with some of his saves, however his kicking was awful. At times he just couldn’t get the ball off the ground and that nearly cost us.

3-0 v Fulham (h) 1st September 2012
by Stuart Jones

After his aberration at Swansea last weekend it was good to see Jussi as solid as he has been for Bolton over the years. Little to do until the end including a very impressive double save.

3-0 v Fulham (h) 1st September 2012
by Gordon Thrower

Kept his concentration throughout lengthy periods of inactivity so that when Fulham finally tested him properly in the last couple of minutes he was not found wanting.

0-3 v Swansea (a) 25th August 2012
by Tom Kilbey

Apart from the aforementioned mistake, he looked low on confidence; a shadow of the commanding goalkeeper he once was. He will be looking for a far improved performance next time out, especially with Stephen Henderson waiting in the wings.

1-0 v Aston Villa (h) 18th August 2012
by Gordon Thrower

Had two saves to make and made them well. His main worry must have been the effect of the sun – which on Nordic skins can be a bit nasty when it’s that hot.
