Playing a Blinder. At home to the Peakies, Tues Mar 4th 19-45.

[Tails07]

What formation is that?

4-4-2 Johnston left back, Osei-tutu and Gomes on the wings I'd say.

[Mar]

Any reason as to why Forrester is out?

Presumably injured, but we won’t find out until after the match.

[Worthy4England]

Forrester misses out with a minor injury is in the post on Twatter

Looking forward to this one and intrigued to see what the formation is. Think we'll spring a surprise and nick the 3 points. Mon you Whites

Forino header from a corner? 1-0?

[Mar]

The Juke on their bench, barely getting a game. Wouldn't have minded a return from him to Bolton. Probably go down a lot better than Jerome and Arfield did.

Seems an age away.

I was thinking earlier today that it’s been a while since one of our centre backs has chipped in with a goal from a corner…

Obviously. It's more, if we had to have an elder statesman rock up and do that job, it'd go down a tad better knowing they've had good moments in a Bolton shirt, ala Gudjohnsen.



Must have quite a lot of faith in CMG's ability if he's getting a run out against this lot. Either that or he's resting Schon after the last match.

I'd have CMG in the more excitable players in our squad.

[Mar]

Interesting to see Collins dropping for defensive duties whilst McAtee stays further up the pitch.

Would've thought it to be the other way round based on pace.

[DJBlu]

Seems like we'll be defending for most the game then.

I expected no less.

In fact, tactically, we're as aggressive as we're going to get tonight.

I don't see our options on the bench being better in terms of an attacking outlet than what we do have now. Presumably the idea is to press early, try and get a goal and then hold on.


In fact, lovely turnover of possession from a tackle from JDC, CMG with a good pass to Collins, then JOT with a good shot.

Wasted corners again.

[DJBlu]

Back pass surely?

[DJBlu]

FFS Thomasson. Concentrate you dick. Let his man go.

1 nil brum.

[Mar]

Back pass surely?

Would've been a harsh one to give.


So pedestrian down that left side. Overload on their far right causing all sorts of problems. Way to easy for Birmingham that.


We've been good so far, but give than an inch...

[Worthy4England]

Bolton in "free man in the box" shocker...Thought we'd worked hard until that point.

[DJBlu]

Aye ref, CMG gets the ball is fouled and it's a Birmingham free kick. Jesus wept.

[Mar]

Fkin referees. CMG fouled and gets a free kick given against him. It's at the point where it's so shockingly poor its coming across as deliberate.

Handball missed there too. Might be too late if he's waiting to level it up in the second half.
