Bolton (h) - Tuesday 1st October 2024

[TVOR]

As its still p*ssing down, any chance of being off?

Depends how many players we have injured

The 4-0 was in the previous season on the way to being promoted.

Ah Mr Blobby, I am just trying to weigh up the relative merits of the "big" teams in the division, how did you get on against Huddersfield? Do you see yourselves up there with them as promotion contenders?

I think the jury’s still out on us yet Bingers, we had an awful start culminating in that atrocious defeat to Huddersfield  but I think that was mainly down to Evatt completely upturning the team and playing just two in midfield. The furore from the fans was immense and indeed Evatt was lucky to keep his job after criticising the fans as being like a black cloud since Wembley. He immediately returned to the normal set up and results obviously have improved. For ages though the fans have been critical of his playing out slowly slowly from the back and holding possession but in our own half. He seems to accept now that possession is pointless unless you do something with it so at Crawley we let them have more of the ball and tightened up at the back allowing our pacy forwards to hit them on the break. In fairness we should have won more convincingly at Crawley as their keeper made two cracking saves from Charles and Dempsey was so unlucky hitting the underside of the bar. I’m expecting a similar set up tonight although I’d expect you to be a little more dangerous than Crawley were. Like I said the jury’s still out on us but I believe other than Birmingham we have probably the best squad in L1 so as long as Evatt uses it well I still see the automatics as within our grasp. 🤷‍♂️

Eaves on the bench, will he get a chance to prove his worth this evening?

[Mysterious Curle]

Unchanged! Lovely.

So much for fresh legs.

Hopefully we’ve got our shooting boots on.

Not quite, Odimayo back for McGowan.

According to the official site it's supposed to be on Sky Sports +, can't see hide nor hair of any L1 games.

The 4-0 was in the previous season on the way to being promoted.

Was there and Foley got the first, Hodgekinson too small and the ball went straight over his head. TBF it was a centre/cum shot.
Bitterly cold night with over 15000 there.

 Hello Bingers, I've got a very good feeling about tonight's game mark my words.

[CobblerForever]

Looks like loads of us are staying at home to watch this one (judging by shots of the East Stand). Sky was late to televise but we're up and running and raring to go now.

Yes they have just put it up, a last minute jobby.

No dice. Working ok on tablet but when I press the red button it’s just a black screen

Decided that my principles of not giving money to sky was more important than watching The Mighty Cobblers.

1-0 Bolton. Mcatee.

[Mysterious Curle]

This could be a very long night. Could be 0-3 already.

We’re not out the starting blocks yet.

They seem to be targeting and having good success down our right.

[Mysterious Curle]

Silly booking for Mcgeehan. Hopefully doesn’t come back to bite us.

We look leggy and incapable of measuring a pass on a wet surface.

[Dr Feelgood]

Brady out!!!
