Already a big game this.

Reckon on a bigger pitch with more space we will carve these open with our new found pace.

 

3-1

4-0 @ 25/1   & 4-1 @ 25/1 & Toal to score anytime @ 8/1.

That hardly registered with me.  Different situation, players can ask for transfers every day of the week, but if the club is on its knees and fighting for its existence, any player that is less than committed to staying and showing loyalty gets the villain treatment.  Connell was another one, got slated for leaving a sinking ship to go to Celtic 😀

 

Which is even more batshit considering at the time Diouf was making every couple of months more than 'rats' like Connell and Oztumer would've made in their entire careers. But they're the cunts for not wanting to turn down bigger moves and play for free.

Oztumer - Played 97 games & scored 14 in the 8 years since leaving us.

Yeah, up there with my favourite players from a personality/nice bloke viewpoint.  In the Gary O'Neill category of player that showed great leadership and spirit in shite eras.  We've been fortunate to have a few over the years.

My sister married his dad!

He is just a normal decent bloke from Leigh. United fan though 🤮

Was convinced the Andersons signed him and PP wanted nothing to do with him

Once again gonna be watching from afar. Just got the gym early doors so I can kick back and watch the game at 10am here in sunny Florida 😎 COYWM

I think we'll nick this 1-0, clinging on at the end 

daughters first game, someone ring the social services on me

My first Bolton match was Plymouth, on the 5th of March 1977, three nil win for Wanderers. I hope your daughter enjoys the memory of the first game she attended as much as I enjoyed mine 🙏 

Well, we’ve failed miserably to get a loan CB in so starting a very poor defence. Be amazed if you don’t get at least two today.

M6 been shut all morning making journey for the Aviva bheys more fun than usual.

Wouldn’t worry about your defence.  Cows arse and banjo describe our forward line. Hope today’s the day it changes.

 

More changes than I expected

Feels lightweight but very attacking.

Surprised me that. Thought he’d go with same as last week. 

Schon’s days are numbered

CMG injured?

Didn't think he would go as per last week, but didn't expect so many changes.

Barely a player who will put a foot in, so we'll have to hope they're all just geared up more for the battle.

Our right hand side concerns me, but all will be revealed.

SS was asked during the week if Schon's non-selection was injury related and he just said no

He'll be out the door before the end of the month

I don't mind it 

We might as well go for it at home

I'm intrigued to see how Randalll does in the No.10

CMG is presumably injured again

Yep. I did think either CMG or Schon would go. But hearing SS wants another winger AND the fact that Warren has made the squad suggests maybe both might go. 
 

Seems like he’s putting a lot of emphasis on the full backs relentlessly overlapping the two lads cutting inside, hopefully Burstow is on his toes today because can see a hell of a lot of crosses being drilled across. Not sure about both Sheehan & Randall being in the same midfield seems way too lightweight but he did the same thing away at Wigan last season which we won 1-0 so will see how they operate together.

Dont get that team

No bite and way too lightweight.......See how we go

Barely any traffic on the way in so I'm here far too early, even the players haven't come out for the warm up.

I have to think for CMG to go from starting to not making the matchday squad in the space of a week means he's injured again

SS seemed to be pleased with his performance last week iirc

But then if I'm right that's another reason why we should look to bring someone else in
