We've had it all today, ice, snow, traffic jams, torrential rain and tonight we have a league one match at the macron to look forward to. The kind of day worth living for. Bolton now in fourth with 58 points behind the mighty Fleetwood with only 6 home games to go out of the 14 games left are desperate for a win tonight. Bristol rovers in 11th with 47 points have a sniff of the playoffs and represent tough opposition. Unbeaten in 6 with the last 5 being draws. Team news. Anything is possible tonight. What we do know is pratley, davies, wilson, buxton are definitely out. Thorpe is doubtful after being crocked at Sheffield. Madine is waiting for a note from his mum to miss tonights game. The good news is spearing is back from suspension and andy Taylor is fit, hopefully. Possible change in formation with wabara pushing for his first start.

Would rather play the players we have. Perry looked ok when i saw him so why not bring him in? Max seems to have disappeared recently, young alex and spooner at rb are options. No point bringing unfit players in.

Sorry Benny , making the playoffs is a big ask with the Squad we have left .
Sheffield Utd & Fleetwood for the automatic spots.
And a team out of the top six at the moment for the other place .
P.P. Has done a decent job,but I fear he's a one trick nearly man with his hoof ball.

Once failure is confirmed we must get rid of PP before he jettisons any of the development and other younger teams with the way our finances our those youth squads are the future with the addition of a smattering of either cheap or free experienced players we need a manager who can bring that sort of plan together on his showing so far PP ain't him and with the younger squads playing proper football he definitely isn't suitable to be staying on here.

The announcements have been made. Long is banned for one game, Josh isn't banned at all as one of the bookings was in the Mickey mouse trophy. You would have thought someone would have picked up on that rather than drumming out the 9 bookings thing for a while. Both Vela and Beevers need to avoid getting booked in the next 2 games to avoid suspensions.

Don't worry about the yellows we must due a red anytime soon. Perhaps the big club announcements are being saved for a good news day.

We should be working towards bringing our own through the ranks but the past few managers don't seem to like the idea. Once we have lost all the out of contract players the money released will be required everywhere else before the 1st team gets a sniff of investment. Another trialist shows how bad things are if he was any good he would have found a club not looking to get a trial and hoping.
I agree we should be looking to play our own, but how many goals does Alex have to score before he gets something more than a trip out on the team coach?
It doesn't look as if it will happen. PP hasn't got the balls to give the youngsters a chance.

If PP suddenly grew a pair he'd fail in the ability stakes of not knowing how to use the younger players he's struggling as it is with the players we have there's no reason why we couldn't set up to play proper football with the players we have it's the organising and explaining it to the players where PP comes unstuck so he goes with what he knows best which is hoof it up to the big lad and see how we go.

Right that's it I'm done for the day time to rest up for a weekend and hope PP doesn't wind us up further as he tries to figure out who he is and what he is supposed to be doing.
So expect Madine back and more of the same then with Fraser making a guest appearance to tell us we are doomed.

Steve Parkin reviews the Wimbledon match ,
I don't really think PP Is up it , He doesn't look the happy man he did 6 months ago. And that's easily picked up by the players. So has to change if we are to improve.

has he got an ID card as from what I've heard everybody is looking for some form of identity at the club
