You're right to urge caution ... but it us nice to see Odelusi score two very giid giaks.

Hall us a different matter though, I think. We mustn't get carried away but he looks very capable of claiming regular starts or at worst regular matches from the bench this season.

May he score many more giaks for us, whether they'd giid or just rebiund iff his ekbiw

Seriously, I agree. Wouldn't throw in Odelusi but Hall's ready - why, DF himself picked him as a starter for last season's final game, and the boy's only improved since. Haven't seen enough to know if his tracking back would suit Dougie's needs, but he's certainly carried a threat to the oppoes.

Viry giid.

Hall does seem to track back and see defensive duties as part of his job, so should meet the Dougie test.

according to Odelusi's interview - it was God that picked him... either he's very religious - or he has a very high opinion of Dougie...

Nice to see a young professional footballer use the word respect and sound sincere at the same time.

[ChrisC]

He also said he was a winger and no longer a forward, which clears an argument up on the Shrewsbury thread

[Lost Leopard Spot]

So to sum up: he's operating as a winger on a prayer

He may not be ready as a first choice player, but he looks good enough as a back-up which means we can concentrate on Spearing + centre back/left back.

I will go along with this once he has proved himself against better teams than Shrewsbury.

[mrkint]

Eagles 'doubtful' according to yon Douglas.

Be reet.

BTW I have just been told that the official Reading coach club are only taking 1 coach to the Reebok on Saturday cant see many being in attendance in the away end and I doubt we will come close to selling out the home end, think attendances may be down this season.

[bwfcdan94]

Out of interest how does this e ticket thing work do you buy the ticket then pick it up at the ground.

Don't you print at home and that is your match ticket?

[bwfcdan94]

So you cant order them online and then pick them up at the Bok.

[Burnden Paddock]

Not sure, but why would you want to queue up when you can print them at home?

[bwfcdan94]

No printer...

[Burnden Paddock]

No printer...

Good point, well made!

Wouldn't someone from here print them for you if you forwarded the email?

[bwfcdan94]

May have to do that as I am not sure you can pay cash even if you book the tickets in advance through the club.

Preview

Bolton Wanderers and Reading meet for the first time in five-and-a-half years on Saturday.

Back in February 2008 both were in the Premier League and it was Bolton who won 2-0 thanks to goals from Kevin Nolan and Heidar Helguson. Now in the Championship, both are harbouring ambitions of a return to the top flight.

They both came from behind to avoid defeat on the opening day last weekend as Bolton drew with Burnley and Reading turned it around against Ipswich.

Bolton have since been in action in the Capital One Cup, winning 3-1 away at Shrewsbury. Reading received a bye for the opening round of the competition.

After making a number of changes for the trip to Shrewsbury, Freedman is likely to return to the XI that started against Burnley, while Adkins also has no new injury concerns.

Bolton: DW

Reading: W
