He added further goals in the 70th and 95th minutes as the Cumbrians won in Bolton for the first time since a 4-3 victory at Burnden Park in March 1977.

"But we didn't talk before the game because I automatically thought Gibbo  was on them. He got the ball but the next time I looked Joe was on it. I will never criticise players for missing pens, but stick with what the plan is. Fortunately, we got away with it.

"We have spoken for weeks about penalties we have not been getting, but we got two today.
