Away to Blurrrghburn

[TANGODANCER]

Todays squad apparently according to facebook update on bolton official

BWFC: Bogdan, Mears, Knight, Wheater, Baptiste, Medo, Spearing, Pratley, Chung-Yong, Ngog, Beckford

Subs: Lonergan, Mills, Tierney, Hall, C Davies, Moritz, Eagles

Blackburn: Kean, Kane, Spurr, Hanley, Lowe, King, Dunn, Rhodes, Marshall, Dann, Cairney

Subs: Eastwood, Kilgallon, Best, Taylor, Morris, Judge, Evans

Tierney on the bench and Baptiste at left back? That's an odd one.

What do people reckon are we playing 3 at back with Baptiste Wheats and Knight and with mears on wing? or if were playing Baptiste at left back

[Lord Kangana]

So everyone is fit enough to at least make the bench then? Eagles as a 60 minute sub might go in our favour.

[Wrighty92]

It's absolutely vital that we make it to the half time mark with the scores at least level so I think we'll be really tight and defensive for the first 45-60 mins and then try to branch out by bringing more creativity like Eagles/Moritz onto the pitch.

Heart says 1-2 to us, Head says 2-0 to them

i thought same thats why i thought maybe it was a 3-5-2

[IggyTheDawgster]

I'd be happy with a clean sheet today.

[Turkish Trotter]

I'd be happy with a clean sheet today.

With the formation he's picked, they'll do us out wide, same as last week. He's tightened it up through the middle but FFS no cover on the wings !! I can see this as a rout for them. Hope I'm wrong, but quickly losing the belief

[TKIZ!]

Rubbish, 1-0 down already...........Knight's fault

GMR commentary if you can get it. Dearden and the Mighty Steve Taylor again

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

The BBC is reporting this in their match preview. "Defenders David Wheater, Joe Riley and Marc Tierney, and midfielders Mark Davies, Chris Eagles and Stuart Holden, are all sidelined for the visitors."

SSN saying the same.

Like so many match previews, copy-pasted from ageing internet posts.

Presumably Baptiste at left-back. Then Medo and Spearing holding, Pratley in that weird ersatz wideish-right position (although at least Mears can theoretically overlap), Chungy cutting in from the left and Ngog in that No.10 position that's going to change the world.

Come on you Whites.

Official BWFC @OfficialBWFC
Pratley has started wide right of a midfield four for Bolton. Chungy on the left. (3) 0-0

awful

[BWFC90]

Should have been one

[klasnicks]

Should have scored Beckford, not taking chances like that is criminal in this division.

[ChrisC]

Should have been one

Up? Down? Left? Right?

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

Why did we just pass to their keeper? We can't pass to each other as nicely as that

[Burnden Paddock]

Beckford misses a sitter.

Bacause an early lead is not our style.

[klasnicks]

Dreadful atmosphere, sounds like a 1st round cup match

[IggyTheDawgster]

Agreed, We should be one up now, Beckford chose to side foot it at the keeper instead of bury it.

And it was a great ball through by N'gog.
