Certainly will knock a few off

bumped into a mate before who went wigan but said just can’t afford Derby game

£50 has gone once you have added on petrol/parking/pie & a coffee or pint etc. 

Back home for 6PM so it’s a bloody expensive afternoons entertainment. 

I think that’s maybe why Derby aren’t selling out too as they took 4K to Peterborough only last weekend.

Think santos missed Derby at home last season through injury, in fact didn’t we only concede 1 goal in like 6 games without him? 

Happy to be corrected but I think the last game he played before injury was a win at Fleetwood (2-1) then he missed 9 games.  We played Derby twice (1 point), drew against Lincoln's 10 men, last min equaliser v Bristol, 3-2 loss at Shrews, 0-0 v Plymouth; beat Exeter,  Barnsley & Pompey. 13 pts from 9 games.

For the last game before he was out and the next 4, we won all 5, so more points from those 5 games than the 9 games he missed!  When he returned we beat FGR, Charlton, Cheltenham and Posh 5-0.

1-2

An online meltdown of Olympian proportions by 5.30pm

[Arrested development]

Fancy us. Only time we've played poorly this season is Wigan. We should of beat Burton and we were very good in the first half against Boro. Perform like that and we've got every chance of winning this game. Toal being fit again is a major boost, incase Rico is out again. 

I don't think Derby are anything special so get the first goal and set the game up nicely. 

[leef78]

Rico is out by the looks of it, IE said he probably won't make the bench this week, al though the injury on his ankle not a serious as first thought. I'll take a draw now. I though we played well against Boro, but honestly thought we weren't at the races against Burton and we all know about Wigan... 

[Lostock Whites]

Toal, Forester and Iredale for now as the back 3 please. I would be terrified seeing Jones have to deal with Mendez Lang/Waghorn

Aye, Toal and Cogley on the right 

If he's going to drop Iredale would rather see Ashworth come in alongside Williams 

As opposed to playing the right sided Toal on the left and bringing Jones in on the right

Capstan out he won’t drop his vice

I tend to agree, but watching Toal and Jones together on Tuesday there’s only one leader between them… and it isn’t our vice captain.

I totally agree

[Wanderlust]

He may be a little injury prone but what a bargain signing Eoin Toal has turned out to be. Nice to have a win in the transfer market occasionally.

Yes, a great signing. Not sure about injury prone, to be playing again now after the GBH at Wembley is some achievement.

[mattbwfc19]

Toal and Forrester looked good on Tuesday, wouldn't be opposed to them starting, can't really see Gethin being dropped despite his performances not being up to his usual standards recently, so a difficult call when it comes to the back three/five on saturday

[RUREADY2ROLL]

Thought even Fleetwood were better than us; Burton were as good as and Wigan battered us. We are not as good as some think now that certain players are not on the top of their games.

We are good enough to win this one though but that midfield and defence need more steel

we were always going to be nervy v burton and by the second half, we were well on top

agree with you, jones has loads of credit in the bank

we are a better team with him in it and may just need to be patient til he gets going

You make it sound like starting an old car up, we’re one of the favourites to be going up shouldn’t be waiting on players to get up to speed

Fleetwood almost got two in the first half and another before the sending off; as soon as they attacked us we were panicking.  Plus I don’t think we were well on top second half at bottom of the table Burton.

We look good going forward but very weak defensively

Belting on champ manger 00/01

I’d expect poor games well into the season when fatigue kicks in, players should be hitting the ground running in Aug

Its division 3, therell always be almosts

[Lostock Whites]

Toal is vital, especially with Santos out, the rest of our defence has barely much height

We almost scored 6 against Burton. Arguably we almost scored 17.

Almosts are irrelevant.

Massive game for Evatt, not so much Bolton. When you start dissing your own, then calling for unity, but didnt Evatt start it? This guy is under massive pressure, and his words are of that of a beaten man. Hes already admitted he couldnt motivate the team against Wigan,  which doesnt give much hope for any Bolton fan. Lose tomorrow, the shit will it the fan! Win, we are back on track!
