Wanderers v Blue Moonies...

[Gary the Enfield]

Just be hoping none of the other 4 pick up a win while we don't.

This. A thousand times this.

Blackburn V Villa
QPR v Everton
Wigan v Swansea
Fulham v Wolves


We've definitely got the toughest game.

[BWFC_Insane]

Its pretty much irrelevant what anyone else does on Saturday.

IF we lose at City (and lets face it, we're going to) then we'll need something like 15/16 points from the remaining 11 games to give ourselves a chance of staying up regardless of what the rest do. It may be more than that.

In other words we're going to have to find the sort of form we probably haven't had since Novemeber 2010.

[Athers]

If all 5 lose on Saturday we'll need a hypothetical X points

If all the other 4 win we'll need X+3

I don't see that as 'pretty much irrelevent' myself, it's an especially massive game for QPR given their horrendous run-in.

Well yes, I know what you mean....

But those teams are going to get X number of points out of the remaining games.

We have to hope for that to be as low as possible. So them losing any game is going to be good for us.

But there will be a survival total, those teams will pick up points (more than likely some will this weekend). Nobody is likely to go on an amazing run, so we need to get 35 points to give us a chance. It may even be one or two less.

But even so we're going to need to go at more than a point a game. Realistically.

Eldest, who has a pretty good hit rate to be fair to him has gone for a 2-0 win to the Supers.

Now, he is only 7 and 'Wanderers Daft' as they say but he does call the defeats as well (easy this year eh?)

I will point to his track record on the Grand National. 5 winners 1 place.

Gamble wildly!

I'm going to be away for this game (Kuala Lumpur seeing as you asked) so I'll probably be able to watch it.

Don't let me down Bolton, let's end this silliness and shove it right up 'em.

COYWM, or as they say in Malaysia Kung Hey Fat Choi.

[Lennon'sEleven]

So you'd put an inexperienced small, weak winger up front against Vincent Kompany and Joleon Lescott (who are both quick, strong and tough) and lob long balls into him?

And before you say you'd put them into the channels, they'd eat that up all day.

Yes, I'd put him upfront.
It seems his 100m record time is around 10.5 secs, which is terribly quick. I assume he is by far the quickest man of all this weekend. Remember, he skinned Ivanović and Cahill with his amazing pace. If Miyaichi stays upfront between Vincent Kompany and Joleon Lescott, he might be able to skin them and score. I don't insist we should play like that at every match but City are too tough for us at the moment, only win by 0-1 is what we can grab. In order to win by 1-0, all of our midfielders focus their efforts on defending instead of going forward , and whenever they get the ball, they should simply kick the long ball into the quickest man staying upfront or kick the long ball toward the space behind Vincent Kompany and Joleon Lescott. I know it's a foolish idea, but we are weak enough to resort to such foolish and ugly football.

Btw, according to Wikipedia, Miyaichi's height is 6ft(183cm), not very small.

I absolutely love this quote.

I can imagine it being screamed, Braveheart-style, at the end of a rousing team talk.

....is the same as the Chinese for Happy New Year? Well. you live and learn!

We did pretty well against them at the 'Bok earlier in the season, let's just play the same way and see what happens.

We subbed Muamba... and pulled a goal back.

Or last month: 10 points from five (league) games Blackburn-Arsenal. Then we went to Norwich...

Gulp!

While the scoreline read 2-3 and we did have periods of pressure I think the gulf in class was there for all to see that day. I don't think we ever really had them on the ropes did we.

Come nn Bolton. Come on. You can't begin to understand the way I feel about this lot. Do not fail me.

My main memory from that day was how we trudged off at half time looking absolutely shattered as if we'd just finished extra time, we'd battled that hard just to get near them

[Prufrock]

I like the plan of get it and nice person it long. 10% possession against a team with Silva, Aguero, Nasri is a smashing idea.

That's the great British football tradition we're so used to harking back to.

Giving the opposition the ball back.

Genius.

[bobo the clown]

Flying keepers is proposed on the Villa thread .... though for this one I was thinking of "3 and in". That should allow some rotation.

[as]

A crushing defeat, no effort from the players, and Coyle bigging up the next '6 pointers'.

Bag of shite.

Not sure we've got the players at the back that can do 'owt but tw@t is aimlessly upfield, rather than accurately upfield. And if they did, I'm not convinced a) anyone would win the headers and b) if they did, anyone would be there for the knock-down.

its my birthday on the 3rd and i was offered a ticket to watch bolton as a gift that i turned down knowing full well we will be hammered into oblivion, i fully intend to not even check the score to save depression on my birthday aswell, seems the sinking feeling is really catching in bolton most likely it will result in administration if we do infact go down.

COYM only a few more games and were champions....................hip

Balotelli might score for us to celebrate your birthday (but an own goal present is enough for us to win ?)

Just had a revalation, we're gonna do them COYW
