We asked for your reactions to Bolton's 2-1 win over Lancashire rivals Preston on Saturday.

Here are some of your comments:

Bolton fans

Paul B: Superb collective performance and it could have been more. All of the new squad members fitted in well and will undoubtedly add more as they adjust. Great start to the new season.

Raymond G: Excellent start in this league against a so called decent side. Need another striker though. Well played Gale and Erhahon. Hopefully we will get fitter and make it less nervous in the last 15 minutes.

Richard: Was very worried after the game against Sheffield Wednesday but thought the team played well as a unit. Gale had the game of his life in the first half and glad both he and Dalby got on the scoresheet. Thought McAtee was as the unsung hero for Bolton though.

Stuart: Comfortable win against a poor Preston. Not sure why Bolton needed to make four subs in the last 15 mins which unbalanced the defence and midfield and nearly cost two points.

Mike: Dominated the game for 86 mins, then subs upset the balance and cohesion of the team leading to a goal back for the visitors, who grew in confidence and probably should have equalised in the dying minutes. But on the balance of the game Bolton earned their victory.

Preston fans

James: It feels like Preston have started the season a bit undercooked and lacking some firepower. Devine is a quality signing but still think we are missing some pace to support his precision.

Mike: Very poor performance from PNE. We've spent a lot of money by our standards, but after watching the game it's the defence which is in need of strengthening.

Ryan: Every aspect poor. Goalscorer only bright spark alongside Leroy. Subs too late after giving the starters time to do better, as they couldn't be worse. They were. Subs were ok. Good luck Trotters but you'll face tougher opposition!

Pete: A very lethargic first game for PNE. Bolton looked brighter all round the pitch and all the match apart from last 10 minutes.

Bill: Not up for it during the first 30 minutes. Can't miss 3 easy chances! Hecky sort it out or they will be the end of you!

Noel: Pathetic. Heckingbottom is so negative. Time for a change.
