Match Preview
If this weekend's game goes ahead, it will be the 39th meeting between Bolton Wanderers and Crystal Palace. Wanderers have a slender 13 to 11 lead over the decades.
Earlier this season, Wanderers lost 1-0 at home to Palace, our first home defeat of the campaign, thanks to a late Glen Murray penalty conceded by penalty specialist Zat Knight. You can read a match report here, if you're a bit of a sicko. http://www.burndenaces.co.uk/2012/09/29/bolton-wanderers-0-1-crystal-palace.html
This game carries particular intrigue for Wanderers fans - can we capitalise on the momentum created by Tuesday's win (and clean sheet) at Sunderland?
* Will Marvin Sordell keep his place?
* Will Craig Davies make his debut?
* Will Jacob Butterfield dominate midfield?
* Will Stuart Holden play a part again?
* Will Dougie Freedman have some master plan for his former team?
Despite many Palace fans crowing about having a better manager than Freedman in nutjob Ian Holloway, their win percentage under Holloway is lower, they have only won 2 out of their last 10 league games, and got a good hiding at Stoke in the FA Cup.

Did you know?
As well as leading a somewhat nomadic existence towards the end of the last century, Crystal Palace have had no fewer than 9 official club crests in their 108 year history, and originally played in claret and blue, due to kit donated to them by Aston Villa in 1905. When Malcolm Alison became manager in 1973, in order to modernise the look of the team, the flash git changed their colours to red and blue.

When I get onto something, I have to see it through to the end.
This started as a general concern about the guy. Now, I have info that I just need to follow to a conclusion.

I stated yesterday he could be in jail but I retract that because even though its not impossible I would like to think everyone on here are honest decent people.

Is it just conceivable that this is Bricks?

Why do I care? Because I do... I care about Bolton a great deal. Not as much, however, as I care about a certain other team... The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of
Come on Bolton...
If you look at his profile it says his team is Man U. He doesn't say anything about himself. What I should have done and will now, is look at his posts and see when they started.

This was his first post.

We all know he drinks with a lot of Man U supporters. May be he's turned Red.
It seems very funny that a red wants Bolton to do well.
Just a theory, what do you think?

I doubt it if I'm honest although nothing is impossible.

It Just seems funny that he cares a lot about Bolton and has recently signed up with ja606. Obviously I don't know if it's Bricks or not but it's very strange that he just seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
What do you think has happened to him?

Nuns, just seen your question. In my opinion, Bricks is either still in Malta (or whereever it was he was going), or he's come back and can't be bothered posting. I know he's been on 606/JA606 for a long time, but people do just decide to stop posting, or post some where else. He got a lot of stick on here, maybe he got fed up. Posters do disappear from here for months at a time, I can remember Campo taking a break of several months about a year ago, I think Aristodemus and First of... have taken breaks quite recently to. No big drama IMO.

I'm not sure. I would hope that maybe he is still in Malta or just taking a break like LH says. It does just seem a little odd that he would go to the effort to get his predictions in for the month he was away only to disappear completely. Thats what concerns me the most, the fact that it is so out of character for him to go AWOL for this long.
