Well the way D.F. Goes on about fitness levels.
Just how does Trotter get a game ( a disgrace )
. Both of them.

On the plus we have a very good defence for this league and that's something we can build on.
I hope we keep Hutton and Tierney gets back to we're he left of and we get another left back as cover.we never want to be in this position again were we have no left back.
We now have 4 centre backs ,so I expect one to go.

Featured game on the fls tonight so at least decent highlights for a change.

I very much doubt we will get hutton on £40000 a week unless he is given a massive pay off by villa.

Didn't know about Huttons salary Benny, I don't think Baptist will be the answer for that spot.

Just hoping riley is the answer to the rb spot . Good player but probably been out injured too long. Maybe mcnaughton could come back. Signed a new contract at Cardiff but still not playing but would probably play every game at bolton so that will count. Baptiste came with a big reputation, can't see why as to me he is bobbins rb/lb whatever.

Baptiste gets caught out of position constantly at lb and rb. He's just not good enough. Coupled with the fact he wields a massive sythe and he isn't afraid to use it in the penalty area proves he hasn't got a very good footballing brain.

Ere Golden, where abouts where you in the echelons of officialdom in the boxes? As I was in row x seat 93 of west lower and had a shuftie at the boxes to see if I could see a party vibe going on. Did you pass cake down to someone in the stand as if that was you I've seen you.

Also just come back from a mammoth Football manager-athon. Lost my first match in FM14 7-4. My full backs doing a Baptiste impression for the 5th and 6th.

As a result of this and the time it is now I can barely read so I'm going to bed. Good night.

In fairness to Baptiste, I've seen him have few bad performances at right back.

You know, his favoured position. Like Eagles is a right winger....

Oh get me trying round holes and round pegs again. Not quirky enough for Dougie the disaster...
