Arsenal on Wednesday

[longy]

Oh dear. Hopes are up, but.
{organising thoughts, can you hear the gears grinding}
So... OC plays Ngog up front against DMBs. Bolton lose 3v0.
Next up, first of three wins, Macc in cup. SKD & Klasnic up front (Ngog subs Klasnic after 60 mins). Win 2v0 SKD & Petrov score.
Then, Liverpool (in their own inimitable style) gift us a win 3v1 [Yes, I know, I can hear the criticism. Why am I saying Liverpool lost it not Bolton won it] but anyway, Ngog up front, Mavis, NRC & Steinsson scores.
Then third win on trot, cup again. Swansea. Ngog up front Bolton win 2v1 with Pratley & Eagles the scorers.

This tells me that OC has decided (in league games) Ngog is first choice as striker and Klasnic is at best a sub.
It also tells me what I already know: Ngog isn't prolific. He's spent 300 minutes on the pitch in the last 4 matches and hasn't scored a goal.
Let's hope that Mavis, NRC, Steinsson, Pratley, Eagles, and Et Al are up to the job because here's a prediction, whatever the final scoreline Bolton v Arsenal, Ngog will start and will not score.

No Axelman Ngog is not prolific but there's a damn site more movement up front to occupy the opposing defence and create openings for the rest of the team? Klasnic is a fantastic sub to bring on to win a game in a stalemate situation, but movement and a bit of pace are what's been needed at BWFC for quite a while

I think we'll get a result, a draw, but I've got this sickening feeling that Arsenal will get a penalty

P.S. Hi, I'm Dean.

They will, near the end too and nick it.

Hi Dean!

[Prufrock]

I hate it when teams nick it 8-0.

Hi Dean - introduce yourself in the new members page.

Is Alonso anywhere near a comeback (again)?

[Sponge]

CANNOT WAIT for this one—my housemate is an (Irish) Arsenal fan. I was utterly undignified in victory when Cohen scored the winner at the end last season, and hope to be able to repeat that performance tonight.

[ChrisC]

Would be nice to get a full house for this one after the Liverpool game! Can't beat a cold midweek night at the Bok!

[TANGODANCER]

Probably be a few gloves on display at the Bok tonight, and that's only on the field. Brass monkeys today, even in Farnworth..

[Tals-biggest-fan]

Is Ream availible to play, he was talking about the game on sky sports website today..

[bettyrasta]

You know I think you could be right about Ream playing.

[Debo]

Ream's not got his work permit sorted yet

[Little Green Man]

Bogdan, Steinsson, Knight, Wheater, Ricketts, Petrov, Eagles, Muamba, Reo-Coker, Mark Davies, Ngog.

[TANGODANCER]

Bogdan, Steinsson, Knight, Wheater, Ricketts, Petrov, Eagles, Muamba, Reo-Coker, Mark Davies, Ngog.

Pretty much picked itself. Who's on the bench?

Jaaskelainen, Boyata, Riley, Klasnic, Kevin Davies, Pratley, Tuncay

[CrazyHorse]

COME ON!

[Little Green Man]

If Ricketts gets knacked, who the chuff is going to play left back?

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Boyata could at a pinch go LB.

[LiOC]

If Ricketts gets knacked, who the chuff is going to play left back?

Presumably Riley or Steinsson with the other one on the right.

Ta, oh Wise One.
