Absolutely, while there's still a chance, we've got to go for it. When any hope has gone, then protect 5 of our better players.......it could suit P/boro to have their reserve players steaming into us !!

If that is right, it pretty much kills off the chance of getting a train back. Absolute shite.

Bodvarsson is the only forward who'll be leaving in the summer unless we get a mad offer for someone. Charles, Vic, Collins & CMG will get their chance whichever division we're in, possibly with another Dan-type gamble. If we stay down, Jerome could probably continue as a fairly cheap , bit part player.

I'd be concerned about Charles if he wasn't getting any chances, but even in his lean goalscoring spell, with his striker's instinct & movement, he's still getting chances & it's only a matter of time before they start going in again.

We drew with Cardiff twice & played the 3rd game at West Brom. Loads went from Bolton, hardly any from Cardiff, it snowed & we won. Also had 2nd replays with Fulham at St Andrews & memorably, Newcastle at Leeds.

The FA Cup has increasingly been devalued over recent years largely to suit premier league clubs, but this is sickening......what right do Prem League twats have to have any say in the 1st & 2nd rounds that don't even involve them ?

Their goal from the corner......whether it was by design or not, there was a major kerfuffle in the box before the corner was taken that was a big distraction & would have taken our defenders' eyes off the bloke outside the box,.....plus the loss of Santos & Jones & reshuffle of all 3 defenders was sure to unbalance the defence to some extent.......& he did hit it well, i bet he can't do that often, but Evatt's fault obvs

Out, never fancied the 12-30 kick off & now saving my money for the play offs. (Does anyone know if the date & kick off time of the play off final has been confirmed ? )

Quite surprised to see how much trouble Vale are in, they look like goners after last night's results. Shame really, if we don't go up , I like a trip to PV where there's a lively atmosphere & we usually do well there.....plus, a trip to Burslem always makes me feel better about Bolton !!

Aye, he's a bit "outgoing" for me & not popular with all Pompey fans but he's looked after Bolton fans down there, was with some Bolton this season, & made the effort to come up for Ferny's funeral. He's alright. & today.....not a good start, i see the 5-13 train back to town is cancelled !!

If i'm reading that right, IF we go up, there's only about a 50/50 chance of us playing at 3pm Saturday. In the championship, I doubt we'd be a popular pick for tv games & our games chosen would probably be mostly home games against more "fashionable" clubs. If we're still in div 1, as "big fish", we could get picked just as often which could be a pain for rearranging away games.....just hope there would be plenty of warning of fixture date/time changes.

Yep, in the game at Portsmouth, we were the better team but Pompey flew into us with Santos & Sheehan being especially targetted & not given a second to play.......but Yengi should have been booked for his persistant fouling which would have made a difference.

Some lovely football & we could have scored more, especially Dempsey at the death. Top performances from Santos & Sheehan, Collins has a touch of quality, Bod was poor 1st half but very good 2nd & Thomason & Magoma both got better as the game went on. Apart from the keeper/juggler, Reading were very ordinary but had a 10/15 minute spell when they were a real threat & Coleman did well for us, but our subs seemed to finish them off. Very enjoyable & hopefully some of the part timers will return.

I'm not calling people who are quiet "moaners ", i'm referring to those who can't wait to criticise or squeal " geddit forward " the moment things are going against us. They're only a minority but they can kill the atmosphere & support for the team.

West Ham's support has changed markedly, a few years back, they were largely from rough, east end areas of London but now they seem to mostly be Essex gobshites..........& that wanky crossed arms thing they do now, the old school lot didn't do that.
