Highlights from yesterday

4th 1-1 draw on the trot never happened. What a shame Gale thought it would be a good idea to stand in an offsode position for what would have been the winning goal for Simons.

So far today Schon out on loan, forss in on loan. Another signing expected at some stage and MacAtee possibly out on loan to Barnsley.

Yes Benny, a lot of changes. one in today and another one looks to be coming.

Do you think there is more or less quality in the squad? We seem to have parted company with a couple of decent players both for reasonable money but can the new recruits do the job once things settle down?

Thanks for posting the highlights. In Spain at the villa at the moment but coming home on Thursday.

I still have a lot to do when I get back but things are coming on with the house. I reckon we will start the front room and finish it before Christmas, then we can relax a bit.

Catching up. Cyrus Christie signed on a free competition for Dacres-Cogley. Our final signing of the window.

Just waiting for exits to be confirmed. Nlundulu, Mendes Gomes, McAtee possibles.

Imo too many changes. Quality wise I think Simons is quality, Burstow, Cozier-Duberry good loans. Hopefully forss is the finisher we need. I'm far from convinced with the keepers we signed though. Need see a lot more from cissoko and Gale . Erhahon looks a good player but he doesn't seem fit. Great game against reading then a stinker against Lincoln. Went off against Blackpool with cramp. Has to step up.

Mendes Gomes gone to Exeter on loan . With his 3 Year deal up next summer gone for good. Another Evatt cash signing lost money on. Never given a chance in his best position (10), that long injury killed his Bolton career.

Must get round to starting a new thread. Was waiting for the club to confirm the 22 squad.

Hi Benny, we are looking like the draw kings. Let's hope that we can turn the draws into wins soon.

We have plenty of time to get into a play-off position but we need to move on quickly and get the points on the board before we are left too far adrift.

I'll try to post more often but believe it or not I'm still looking to get more jobs done in the house. We are still looking for a gas fire for the lounge, and we can't start the floor in there untill we find the right fire as we will need to create a studded faise chimney breast, and that depends on the size of the fire. We are looking for one around 1Mt long.
Anyway I'll sign off now. Just one thing, it's very strange that Pasty disappeared without a trace. I wonder what really caused him to depart the scene without an explanation. We may never know.

Hope things are ok swie. Will keep things ticking over on here. The Facebook groups seem more popular now than forums. Check in when you can.

Hi Benny, everything is fine, I hopethat you and your family are all well. I sometimes wonder how your brother is going on.

I never thought about Facebook for keeping up with the Wanderers, perhaps I'll have a look.

The thing is I'm more involved with politics these days, I'm the interim trsurer for the Lancaster and Wyre branch of the Reform Party UK. The was alarge gathering in an organised meeting at The Brick Community Stadium on Wednesday, I was with a friend of mine who is a pie eater. All in all it was a great evening.

We play them this week-end, so I'll be keeping an eye on that game. I really want us to win all our games but I want to win that one so I can give him some pain.

I'll post again soon. Keep well.

Thanks for asking swie. My brother is cancer free at the moment, have had checks recently see if it's come back.Had a bad do last Thursday. Taken to hospital chest pounding and breathless. A day in there and sent home. Seems ok now. He seems to be decluttering like he's preparing. Everytime I go see him he gives me a pile of books or cigarette cards. Shame about the decline on here. The Facebook groups are just too wild and random. Remember the good old days with a match thread on here? It just doesn't work on Facebook and the abuse some players have received on there has gone beyond acceptable. Anyway early start for the match, get up to the stadium early enough to avoid traffic, bus delays which are running in Bolton. Too early for a pint for me. I don't like the early kick offs. Just have a wander and have some breakfast.

Good morning Benny, I know that you will have enjoyed the game yesterday. Let's hope this is the beggining of the recovery. We have p[enty of games to play so fingers crossed for the rest of the seaon.

And I got the bragging rights against my olf friend. It couldn't have been better.

Long day. 10.20 bus farnworth to blackrod leaves a 20 minutes or so walk to the stadium. Just drizzle at that stage. By time got to the fanzone started raining hard. Some good outlets there that do really good real ales. Improving every year. The match fantastic. The front 4 ran Wigan ragged. Gale and Cozier-Dubarry constantly kept the pressure on and forss instead of Randall made a massive difference having a proper striker in there. Good it was early kick off as the rain got worse. Blackburn got abandoned, could have been us. Could you imagine 4-1 up and abandoned 10 minutes to go? Sneaked in to the lion of Vienna then made way home via taxi and buses. Drenched through by the time got to Bolton. Had an half in the York which has been promoting themselves as a Bolton themed pub. Only started playing man united songs after united v Chelsea finished. I have the evidence. Needless to say I didn't hang around.

Most comprehensive highlights I can find. Madly edited together though
