Another tough away trip today for the travel weary die hard fans not put off by the defeats from long haul trips to Cardiff and qpr. Hats off to you lads and lasses. Lifes hard on the road. Carrow road is the latest destination. Is there anything in Boltons recent form of 5 away defeats out of 6 and 3 straight 2-0 defeats that suggests Bolton can pick a point up? Good job Boltons home form is so good and no matter what happens today will be out of the bottom 3 thanks to the 4 point cussion. Today's opponents Norwich are bang in midtable in 12th and are unbeaten in 5 games. Also beware the late goals as Norwich have scored in injury time the last 2 games. Team news. Henry and little suspended for today and next Saturday. Josh Vela injured. Possible return to the team for pratley who has traveled and while less likely a debut for new signing Kirchoff. The big question is how will pp juggle his selection? Will brown to start again or walker or Alf? How can he fit Clough into the team? Will he rest ameobi who looked jaded on Tuesday for next Saturday? Will derik retain his place after doing well on Tuesday? Will he juggle the centre backs again and bring Burke back? Robinson for Taylor? Who knows what is in pps mind. Also thanks for the comments on Tuesday. 160 is just amazing.

PP's U23 testing at Birmingham was scrapped due to a bit of snow those due to play for fitness and those on trial for a target man job will leave PP worried for the Preston match.
No point asking what will PP do as nobody ever knows that one.

Arrived back at the lodge at Pilling earlier and not even a smattering of snow on the fields. It took me 2 hours to drop my grandson off at Cannon Slade School and arrive back at the house. The round trip less than 3 miles.
A little snow and Britain stops.

Quiet on the comute tonight. Home in record time. M60 totally clear. Usually gridlocked when Bolton are at home midweek. Hope ken has the undersoil heating turned on.

I saw Lee topping up the electric pre pay meter card at the Post Office using proceeds from the tea club tin.
It was an economy seven card so we should be alright it might have to be salt from the canteen for surrounding areas of the ground but the club nurse thinks that would be a good move anyway.

There are reports of several of the ground staff heating the pitch up with several hairdriers (with a long extension plug). Ken is going to be asking for anyone with a spare hairdrier to pop over and lend a hand for a fee of only £10.

A good read. I think it's spot on.
If we can win today we can exert a little more pressure on the clubs around us. Hope is eternal.
