Absolutely gutted about all three players leaving. Jonno captained us to promotion two days ago and has been outstanding lately, especially given he was out of position for most of it. Loved his passion and commitment. Perhaps lacking in some areas but still think he’s more than good enough to find a club in our league Jordi an absolute colossus at times. I’ve always been a massive fan of his. So versatile. An absolute world beater on his day, albeit injury prone. Demps was expected. Simply not the same player and ruined by injuries in his time with us. But there’s not one single man in all of our time in the doldrums who was prouder to play for Bolton Wanderers than him. He wore the shirt with so much pride, as they all did. The saving grace to take from it all is that I’m quietly confident we have the backing to think we can do better. I’m not even remotely arsed about the Premier League, but I think we might be onto the trajectory of something really special 🙏

I’ve had a season ticket since 1997. I’ve never seen us play Luton Town. We seem to have avoided them through relegations/promotions a lot over the years.

This team could have won this league. Fuck all the big club hype surrounding us. Let’s go and smash those play offs. Can and should beat any of them.

Only recently discovered that Brighton adopted Seagulls because of this rivalry, and they were the Dolphins previously(?). A forced rivalry. Same for Cov and Leicester. Rivals for the sake of it as they don’t have a main rival.

I don’t think we’ll finish above them, they’re a well drilled outfit and deserve to be where they are. Nonetheless, they have to lose at some point and are due a blip. The optimist in me says it’s not completely inconceivable that Northampton hold them to a draw on Tuesday and then they lose at Mansfield. We beat Reading and Blackpool, and it all looks completely different this time next week. Rodrigues showed some great touches and Kenny has a terrific leap on him. Could really have done with a win but it was vital that we didn’t lose to keep some hopes alive. Just praying we can get three points at Reading now. Also well worth a gander on their forum at posts from someone called Jules. He’s a proper thin skinned little weirdo with a massive irrational hatred of us every single time we play them.

A free transfer for Rodrigues could be excellent business. Would imagine we might be looking to replace Morley with someone who could play deeper, but with this signing and Apter, not to mention Hardie, I do wonder where the likes of Burstow are going to fit in.

RE Forss, everyone has been ineffective in that role behind the striker. Put him alongside Dalby in the system we ended with today and I reckon we might have something.

Wonderful, although nominal I’m sure!

Both clubs just say completed a transfer, and the deal is for six months. They’ve just taken his contract on I reckon. No fee.

Know nothing about our funds, fact is the squad is full and we can’t afford to have players on decent wages who are barely getting a look in (if at all). We beat Wrexham to sign McAtee. Randall was £1m+, Taylor, Morley, Adebayejo; all of these you’d imagine are on unsustainable money given their minimal playtime.

While I agree it’s not that distant, only one of them will likely be playing Championship football if we don’t go up, and it won’t be Forino.

If you think Forino is superior to Johnston then football isn’t for you.

Wasn’t all that to begin with. He was a major flop when he held the record transfer. Looked incredible at Copa America in 97 (and I think another international tournament), but never really did much else, certainly not at club level.
