Why Ian Evatt was pleased with Bolton Wanderers' Carlisle United loss ahead of Huddersfield Town
manchestereveningnews.co.ukIan Evatt was pleased despite his Bolton Wanderers side losing against Carlisle United in pre-season as it illustrated perfectly they will not have it all their own way on the pitch this season and called for a reaction against Huddersfield Town next weekend.
The Cumbrians took the lead against the Whites who were masters of their own demise ultimately as Ryan Edmondson capitalised on a defensive mix-up at the back for Bolton to put the hosts in front.
The League Two side doubled their advantage before half-time from a set piece after Ben Barclay headed home. Wanderers halved the deficit after the break when Aaron Morley fired home from the penalty spot after former Carlisle midfielder Kyle Dempsey had been brought down in the box.
But Carlisle restored their two goal advantage when another defensive lapse saw Kristian Dennis add their third which ensured a 3-1 victory for the hosts and Bolton's second loss for the first team in pre-season.
