Got to be something going on behind the scenes with Dapo. Player of the Year to hardly getting a sniff.

 Not sure about that think it’s more to do with we’re do you play him in this system he as tried him up front . He will get chances of the bench especially if he is coming in from wide areas if we need him . Think John should be more worried can’t get a sniff at all

doubt it, started all the early games in the season and didn't produce enough. We've now won 4 in a row with a different lineup. Yes he scored and assisted off the bench but one was a massive deflection and the other they basically threw us the ball ion the edge of their box.

Think him and Morley are both guilty of holding onto the ball too long at times. Morley to make a hollywood pass, Dapo to try and dribble past the whole team.

From Evatt’s comments he sounds completely understanding. Although of course he wouldn’t say otherwise if there was a rift.

He’s not effective enough in the current system, but he’s being moulded (albeit intermittently at the moment) into adding more to his game in a new role.

If it pays off, Dapo’s value goes way up and he can have a more successful career. Just hope this happens soon, as if he’s benched much more there will be issues you’d imagine.

Hope you're both right.

That's my concern. He can't be happy bench-warming after being lauded as our next big thing. Just have to trust Evatt knows best. Which he does, of course.

Poss changes inc the following left out

Bradley

Good shout.

When you think about it, it makes sense. Every game so far, International  games, coming back poorly and straight into the side Saturday. A much needed break for him.

On paper, with the small, narrow pitch against a physical side, it’s seems the right time to rest him.

Away commentators already comparing JDB and his international pedigree with their yoof on 2 senior caps "that's the difference" 

Don't think they fancy their chances. 

They just about stopped short of saying Bolton are massive.

Good test this to see how far we’ve come from last season, Patience needed. 

I'm only listening to radio commentary (Brownie and Jacko's dulcet tones) but it sounds a lot more uncomfortable than last year when we were 2 up till the last minute.  But if we lose I won't be thinking we've gone backwards, we lost plenty last season too.
