I’m hovering over the cancellation button on our hotel…. The only thing that is stopping me, is the chance we may have a new manager, which would inject some hope of a new beginning.

I mean Christ it would be some baptism of fire, with a bunch of midfielders unavailable and only 1 fit reserve central defender, against top of the league. But I think it would be a free hit for a new manager wouldn’t it? 

Spoke to a few away ST holders, all of them have used this as one of their five returns.

Is anyone going??!

It's for  Friday night I want to ruin

Yep. Looks like it’s on SkySports Plus……so another night of frustration to look forwards to.

So

- We know Evatt’s here for the time being

- We’ve just been beaten (again) by Wigan

- We are miles away from where we thought we’d be

- We can barely field a team

- I’m still of the opinion that a new manager would revitalise us

- I went into pocket of negativity for a couple of days ….. realised that’s a crap place to be….

The hotel wasn’t cancelled! Bolton Wanderers is for life, win/lose/draw we’ll make a festive night out of it, I’ve talked one into my line of thinking….…

..so Wycombe here we come!! Must be fucking mad, 🤣. Only BWFC can make a rational, educated fella seem like a loon

Where is this from ? I am not his biggest fan but at least he is a midfield player.

Centre half could be interesting too ! 

Didn’t Evatt say he would be out for a couple of weeks .

Call me mad but I think we will brush these men aside. 0-3

We should be beating these given respective budgets and squads (on paper).

The fact we're so far behind them isn't a great look for Evatt's "progress each season"

We'd have won this game last season

Yeah I reckon 4-2. We would have been 2-0 up and let them get level and would likely have scored two late goals to finish them off.

This seasons Portsmouth and Oxford. Come from mid table to high flying. Everyone claims there manager is amazing. Go up and do shit

They have physicality and pace all wrong for us . going to be a long night

But it's going to be...

Schon (RWB) Cogley Jones Forrester Tutu (LWB)
 

Tutu injured for tomorrow according to the BN. So Williams in at RWB and Schon LWB probably 

Cogley-Jones-Forrester-Inwood-Schon for me.

May be lacking experience but all round pegs in round holes.

and yet people keep mentioning Schumacher to replace Evatt 🤪

Is that not based on him winning the L1 title with Plymouth and then having them outside the relegation zone in the championship.  Can't say I'd be gutted if that was repeated here, not many are expecting anything other than a tough season whenever we do get back to the championship.

The Oxford manager that did "shit" this season also has them outside the bottom 3.

Lots of brown liquid has just left my bum at the thought of that 

Still on a downer from last Saturday, away at the league leaders & missing 5 first choice players......I'd be chuffed if we got a draw but more realistically just hope we don't get a pasting. ( or any more injuries )

Absolutely no reason to be optimistic about this one ...

... so I reckon we turn into 1970 Brazil and smash em.

 

Or turn in our usual away surrender v a top 2 side. Can't decide.

 

 

he'll start mcatee in the back 3.. 

2 in midfield

 

                        Baxter

             Jones. Forrester Cog

Williams.    Matete.  Tommo.     Schon

                         McAtee     
                  Collins.   Charles
