Bolton Wanderers Fall to Stockport County: A Close Encounter

In a tense match at the University of Bolton Stadium, Bolton Wanderers succumbed to a 1-0 defeat against Stockport County. The decisive moment came in the 85th minute when Stockport's substitute, Tanto Olaofe, scored the only goal of the game, securing a crucial victory for the visitors.

Bolton's manager, Ian Evatt, expressed his disappointment but praised his team's effort, noting they were unfortunate not to secure at least a point. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, Bolton's finishing let them down on the day.

Stockport's manager, Dave Challinor, was full of praise for his team's resilience and tactical discipline. He highlighted the importance of the win, especially away at a tough venue like Bolton. Challinor's decision to bring on Olaofe proved to be a masterstroke, as the substitute made an immediate impact.

Bolton's striker, Dion Charles, had several opportunities but couldn't find the net, a factor that ultimately cost his team. The result leaves Bolton needing to regroup quickly as they face a challenging run of fixtures ahead.
