    Watching the goals, both of Crewe's looked dubious mind. They both looked like a fouls for us which the ref didn't give and they scored from both.

    30th minute Thomas gets another yellow card for kicking the ball away

    Ricardo Almeida Santos red carded for bringing Collins down in a one on one situation 33rd minute an hour to play with ten men. With he rate we are committing fouls we could well join them with being a man short before the game is over

    I have Bolton down to win this game in the prediction competition and even if they come back in the 2nd half we have still scored more goals than I have predicted

    Match restarted no substitutions by either side at HT

    Dempsey on Maghoma off 61st minute

    Tom Lockyer has collapsed while playing for Luton v Bournmouth the match has been suspended and the players taken off the field

    He collapsed either earlier in the season or in preseason but was cleared to play on. Bournmouth Staff doctor has confirmed Lockyer is alert and responsive

    Thank goodness for that.

    Sadly. I would expect that to be the end of his football career but at least he’s alive.

    We could do with another goal to finish this off - Trotters are coming back into the game a bit.

    They have nothing to lose so why not throw everything at us to try and grab a goal and make us nervous

    Hoole on for marquis 80th minute and Dempsey booked for Bolton 82nd minute

    6minutes plus extra time to go

    1 - 2 Daniel thinks it is a n OG, I follow have credited it to Toal

    85th minute Martin on Thomas off

    88th minute Williams yellow carded

    Luton game called off

    6 minutes to hold on for three really good points on the road

    FT Bolton 1 - 2 Rovers

    HT stats were good. We had 10 shots and the team who started 2nd and got a great home record had zero shots.

    He collapsed during the play off final wasn't it?

    So sad. I think Baldee is right about his career. I will be shocked if he plays again.

    I think you right CJS I think it was the playoff final, just hope he makes a full recovery and his future health is not compromised by it

    Having looked at the highlights the red card was a fair decision their GK was to the side and out of his area and Collins had an open goal facing him

    Luton have confirmed that Tom Lockyer has suffered a cardiac arrest and is in hospital surrounded by his family

    At least he’s likely to be ok - very sad when a career is cut short though.

    Just watched our goals v Bolton - really excellent play. If we play like that we’re a match for anyone in this league. I’ve always liked Evans but he’s now getting better and better and should be the first name on the team sheet.
