Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

Meanwhile, it's £15 for you to watch us against Walsall in the Cup (a fiver if you're under 18 or over 65). https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/17294053.bolton-set-prices-for-fa-cup-clash-with-walsall/ I've seen people whinging about this on Twitter, but it seems pretty reasonable to me.

Re: Bolton Under 23's the Champs.

Interesting loan move for Dennis Politic as he goes to the upwardly mobile Salford City until January. Hopefully he gets some game time for them as he looks one of our most exciting prospects. Positive feedback on Dennis from the Salford fans after he made his debut on Saturday. Hopefully he proves...

Re: A welcome on the hillside......V Swansea at home, Sat 10-11-18 , 3-o'clock.

We are a struggling team because we lack the quality of many teams in this league. I accept that we're a bit shit compared to other teams. What I don't accept, is that the payers and manager accept it. We are absolutely shit to watch. Not because of the lack of quality, but because of the lack of a...

A 2-1 win to Wanderers sparked by the main man Sammy Ameobi coming off the bench.

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

P.T. ..somebody on here made the point that but for K.A (and I include Phil Parky in that) we might not be here, and that nobody is offering viable alternatives to it all. I totally agree. We may be unhappy with where and what we are right now, but that's the reality. K.A. saw us as a business oppo...

Re: Hail the conquering heroes come.......Bolton V Hull, 3-0'clock Sat 27th Oct.

Trouble is if he plays one up front he gets lambasted. He plays the system and team everyone is crying out for (Oztumer behind a front two) it doesn't work and he's lambasted for that. Fact is that we're a grind it out type of team. I'd play 11 big lads and try and keep clean sheets and work on set...

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?

As others have said, we are really missing Sammy. When is he due back as it can't come quick enough? We surely can't be, or afford to be a one man team. As soon as Sammi appears he'll be marked c loser than xxxxx without an ankle tag. If Parky uses this and plays around it we might ease him back in...

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?

I do get Ameobi is a massive loss, but we should be able to coax a goal out of a team against that hull side. They had one fit centre half and an academy lad making his debut, plus they are utter dogshit bottom of the league fodder managed by a cretin! Faults on the training ground, if Parky, Parki...

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?

I am a No, at least not yet. Since July, based on public reporting, there have been four winding up orders against the club, including one case of near administration, and two instances of players publicly calling the club out for non-payment of contractual bonuses. Not only does that likely deter ...

Ameobi presumably not back yet? If he were I'd say away win, but as it is I'll say a refreshed Bolton put up a good performance but lack cutting edge and end up with a draw.

Re: Who's going down to League One in 2019? Bolton?

Amoebi is absolutely crucial for us and I think people on here are underrating how significant his recent absence has been. Put him back in the side instead of Buckley and I’m confident we would have picked up more points over the last few games. I actually thought the performance against Blackburn ...

Re: Love thy Neighbour...Bolton V Blackburn Sat 6th Oct.17-30

Terrible error from Grounds, but other than that we're not playing badly. Blackburn don't look great shakes so we can definitely still get at least a point out of this. COYWM!

Re: A stroll in the countryside? - Stoke City (A) 02/10/18

TBF the other lad kept a clean sheet and made a very good pass for the goal! Why should Alnwick get his place back automatically? Alnwick is a great shotstopper but Matthews looked better on distribution and I'd agree irrespective of Alnwick's fitness keeps his place until proven otherwise. Same wi...

Re: A stroll in the countryside? - Stoke City (A) 02/10/18

You'd have to assume that we will make some changes for this one, but options are limited at the moment. I'd guess O'Neil, Wildschut and Vela would be in contention to make the starting lineup.

I'd certainly take a point ahead of the derby at the weekend.

Re: Carpe Diem....Versus Derby County at the Unibol, Sat 29th Sept.

Terrific win and 3 points I don't think anyone expected. Without wanting to sound too much like Ken Anderson, hopefully this victory encourages more fans to show up for the derby next weekend.

Sounds like Hobbs has been excellent the past couple of games, so does he now go into our best XI?

Unable to watch the game yesterday but really encouraged by what I've read on here this morning. Especially pleased to hear that the boy Williams impressed, just a shame he's not ours!
