Local derby today as Oldham athletic make the 28 mile journey from boundary park to the macron. Bolton in 5th with 19 points will be looking to build on the 2 recent 1-0 wins can go 3rd today whilst Oldham stuck in 21st with 12 points need the points to get out of the relegation zone. Oldham have a decent record away in the league P 6 W 2 D 3 L 1 whilst Boltons home record is average. P 6 W 2 D 3 L 1. The form stats suggest a draw. Expecting a difficult game and Bolton can't afford a similar performance to the Oxford game. Hopefully pp has been sharpening the players shooting boots this week. Team news. Mavies out for the season, Pratley until December. Clayton getting closer. Moxey, Buxton out short term. C.taylor, Henry and a.taylor suffering from various ailments. Likely Bolton starting 11. 4-2-3-1. Howard. Wilson, Wheater, Beevers, A. Taylor. Thorpe, Spearing. Ameobi, Vela, Clough. Madine.

I don't see madine has any genuine competition for his place. Proctor is rubbish, clough not a centre forward.

poor Alex what must he think

In a quiet moment I was thinking. Proctor always seems to want to drift wide like it's his natural instinct. So play him there. Get Clough more central behind madine and drop Vela deeper and get the team better balanced. If Clough stays fit and continues this form then we will lose him in January but maybe reinvest in 2 goalscoring strikers to replace.

Sober up and fry up time then when they arrive the Sunday papers to read all about a victory and two goals I best have a nap once I've managed all that as we have a busy start to the week
Monday is FA cup draw day that's the real cup not the plastic fake one.
Tuesday Millwall away might be an ideal time to pick up a few hundred plastic pigs just in case.
Don't let the dizziness of being 3rd go to your head just yet we have the bad weather to come probably more injuries and a few players to replace come January not to mention who may be sold and we still have to solve the striker issue we can't rely on a one man team of Zach to do the scoring.
Enjoy the moment feet on the ground don't be getting carried

The fa cup maybe a comp to miss this season and go out early. Rotate the squad at least. Always seems a strong bench these days despite the injuries. Clayton should be ready by then too as well as moxey and Buxton. So if you give sami a chance that's 11 changes. Alnwick. Buxton dervite derik moxey. Trotter henry. Proctor sami Clayton. Anderson. Squad is looking a bit stronger now. Off for my fry up....

Wot no Alex in your FA cup team Benny are you playing safe to avoid him showing PP up.
You could be right about using team sheet B though with 80 teams in the draw there's a higher risk of an embarrassment for the 1st team if we get one of the teams you need to look up on Wiki with your record of being late we'll get Dartford away you'll get stuck in Lakeside traffic and getting over the bridge.
Did Iles get told not to complete this weeks video or has he got the hint. There was a placeholder article yesterday saying the video would be up soon which has now gone. Maybe there is a higher being it is Sunday.

Despite the warning above to keep feet on the ground the Beano have gone and mentioned the P word this morning some people never learn. I know he's probably distracted with Halloween coming up where he gets a top job for a night but it's still no excuse for getting carried away.

Virus swept around Lostock last week says PP in the Beano Thorpe maybe ok or not for tonight I hope he travelled on his own down South.
Time we banned all electronic gadgets computers and phones at Lostock there's not a day goes by without news of a new virus infecting somebody.
