Bolton team news:

 

Al Habsi, Steinsson, Cahill, AOB, Samuel, Riga, Nolan, McCann, JOB, Gardner, Davies

Subs: Bogdan, Meite, Hunt, Cohen, Dzemaili, Taylor, Muamba, Vaz Te, Obadeyi

 

Looks like a 4-3-3/5-5-1 with Riga and Gardner supporting Davies in attack. Hopefully Riga will have a good game

 

No Elmander or Jussi in the squad for tonights game. I wonder if they are rested or injured?

wot times kick off 2nite?

They`ve just kicked off.

 

Fairly good picture.

 

Just seen a Deane whites flag.

We're playing in our white home kit. They're all wearing shirt numbers but i don't think it counts for anything as Riga is wearing no.7 and that i believe is matt taylors shirt

i think its the first time i've ever seen McCann without a bandage on his ehad!

i hate that neon green goalkeeping kit! altho i must admit that the home shirt is starting to grow on me

from the way they're lined up on the pitch it looks like a 4-2-3-1 with McCann and JOB behind Nolan, Gardner and Riga who seem to be trying to play off Davies and profiting from his knock downs/ball holdup

 

P.S sorry for the constant stream of 1 sentence posts before anyone has a go

No, we're not allowed to post links to external streaming for legal reasons.

I've removed Jon's link too.

sorry traf. i didn't realise

 

:S

 

i'll post anything up that is worthwhile for anyone who's missed the link

for a friendly there's a few meaty challenges going in!!

Jonathan, I'm not sure how many times folk have to say this BUT in pre-season friendlies, the numbers are not relevant to the squad numbers!

No problem (this time! )

 

You can Pm them the link if you like. Just don't post it on the open forum.

so, if you haven't got the link, a decentish one it is, too

 

pm jonny, traf or me and youll probably get a reply

i know that but i do seem to remember you saying that they don't even wear numbers on their shirt in pre-season games. I only raised the point again because they do have numbers on today.

 

BTW this game is pretty crap. Only 1 shot on target the whole game and that was from Riga in the first minute. We really do lack some creativity in the middle of the park. It would have been interesting to see how Elmander would have done in this game. Riga has looked ok. Samuel is getting forward well as does Steinsson. Gardner has been a bit anonymous as has JOB

fairly meaty game this.

 

nolans playing like its a cup final.

 

and that kit doesnt look too bad actually...

I think you were mistaken. She nor anybody else ever said that as far as I can remember.

You do know what she does for a living, don't you?

I certainly did not. They always have numbers, 'tis the names they don't usually have on.

oh, sorry, must be my mistake (whats new?)

Wholesale changes in 2nd half.

i'd imagine so. i'd like to see taylor, dzemaili and vaz te to come on and see if they can make a difference up front.

 

our best player so far has been Steinsson i'd say which says it all really. a good defensive display by the team but very little going forward.

half time 0-0

 

hopefully a BIG improvement attacking wise in the 2nd half!!

We should win if we go for a 5-5-1 formation

0 - 0?
