And you will take my hand and make believe it's..... Sunderland (H) 15:00 29/1/22

What is the weather down there? A bit blowy up here (87mph gusts). If you've similar it'll make for an interesting game!

We've had a tree come down across the only access road. Not currently safe to go out with the chainsaw and remove it. Looks like I might miss this one.

I walked to work this morning in the dark. One exposed stretch was a bit scary. Luckily it's blowing inland, so at least I wont get blown to Harris

My errant trampoline has now been disassembled...

I'd not mind walking, but 50 miles in 3 hours might be pushing it.

We're at force 12, so I reckon I could get to Inverness twice as fast as in the car

I'm on top of the Pennines. With a sturdy umbrella I could have Mary Poppinsed it to Bolton a bit ago.

TEAM NEWS

Dapo in for Baka - Sadlier joins Bod on bench
.

.
Last week it was Delf dropping off the bench and out of the 18; this week it's Gordon.

[GhostoftheBok]

Good team, that. Can go 5-3-2 or 4-3-3 (or any variation). Lacks some physicality up front, but allows us to counter a bit more easily against a Sunderland side that can push high at times.

Interesting one this. Not impressed to miss it.

[Bruce Rioja]

Not sure where the goals are coming from, but I'll be happy to be surprised

Not sure if that's a joke or not.

Just in case - Charles, Lee and Dapo have all shown they are goal threats recently.

Nothing mate. Not a bean There used to be a club shop in one of the indoor centres, but that went years ago when we got relegated - There used to be pop up stalls selling tickets etc, but absolutely nothing. If you went into Bolton town centre, you wouldn't think the town had a football club

Depressinger and depressinger.

We could always have "Welcome to Bolton, home of the Mighty Wanderers" outside the Interchange....oh, hang on, it's a one way street you can't drive down.......

Ah well, time for a "COME ON YOU WHITES..!"

Kettle is fully warmed up so time for a pre-match brew

[GhostoftheBok]

Have to feel like the team selection has been influenced by the conditions. Not a lot of playing it up into a target man today. Dapo and Charles feels like the right call.

How's it coping with the wind? I'm thinking that front 2 is partly to do with the weather and the desire to keep it on the midden.

Make sure you've got a spare 13 amp fuse handy Sonic,..just in case...You never know..

Couch is set.

I am hiding behind it I think.

Been a mild winter so far, so not as many big storms as we usually get. I'm surprised we only lost power for a bit, though it feels like a seance with all the light flickering we've had

[DJBlu]

Not looking forward to this.

Going to have to be on it from the off.

COYWM!!!!
