I don't have any interest in singing songs about them being inbred or the twitter arguments that will persist pre and post match. That's willy waving. No doubt there will be plenty of idiots too looking for trouble.

Yeah might be. But on paper they look like a good side and are top. It could all be built on sand but I'm not sure there is much evidence of that.

For clarity, my "reckon" is they're a good side, probably top 6, probably finish slightly but not too far ahead of us, but not good enough to win it/top 2. I don't think they're as good as Sunderland or Rotherham (who'd be my tips for the top 2) and not seen enough (until Tuesday!) of Plymouth or Wycombe to judge them.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 3:10 pmYeah might be.

Gethin could be out for longer than his suspension - "he's having an MRI scan today so we will know more soon" - and we could have other players missing v Wigan: “We've had a rough week to be honest, we've picked up one or two injuries in training, but it's just one of those things. It's football and we have to adapt and overcome.”

Seems worrying, Mr Evatt doesn’t sound too up beat. Do we think one or two starters besides Jones have picked up knocks and it’s touch and go as to whether they can play?Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 5:01 pmhttps://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/1 ... says-boss/

Looking at the training pictures the club have posted
I don’t see Sarcevic in any. Perhaps he’s one who is injured? Would make sense as he had a bad knock at SW apparently.

Sheehan in for Sarce isn’t too bad. We can afford for Sarce to be injured much more than some others.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 10:47 pmLooking at the training pictures the club have posted

Its a chance to find out. We lost loads when Sarce went of on Saturday. The Sarce role involves a lot of hard physical work to make our midfield effective. It leads the press and involves a lot of running but also gets involved in the physical midfield battle. Sheehan can't just float round the edges of games as I think he likes to do. He has to be the lead of the press and also put his body into the midfield battle. Lets see if he is up to that.The_Gun wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 9:33 amSheehan in for Sarce isn’t too bad.

I think you're more likely to see Lee be the one tasked with doing that, personally, but agreed someone has to. All the more reason to keep Doyle in for this too. I don't doubt Baka or Kachunga's work rate, but it's not just about trying, you have to know what you're doing.

Lee and Sarce did that Saturday. We're playing with 2 number 8's and that's the role. Hard work. Lee was slightly deeper but either way its a lot of physical work that is demanded. Sheehan came on and couldn't impact the game because he just didn't make those runs or have the same presence. But he's had a week to prepare assuming it is Sarce that's out.Prufrock wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 10:38 amI think you're more likely to see Lee be the one tasked with doing that, personally, but agreed someone has to.

For me our biggest misses are Santos, Dapo, Williams and Sarce. I feel any of those 4 are very hard to replace. Gethin is a big loss too and hopefully his injury isn't too bad.
