After yet another enforced winter break (10 days)the 2nd of 3 home games for Bolton. A chance not only to pick up 3 points but actually do the double over the only team bolton have beaten away 2-0 with goals from both Murphy's. Both sides in rotten form. The gas without a win in 10 and Bolton without a win in 6 including 4 straight defeats all in 2020. Team news. Will Buckley has signed and is available for selection. Some ramblings by keith hill yesterday. Apparently been chaos with illness and back spasms affecting various members of the squad. What we know. Hobbs and Crawford are on the road to recovery but not available tonight. Zouma and Edwards both limped out of the last games they played but no updates, lowe, politic and dodoo reported to be ill. Bunney has a chance to play despite being 60% fit.

A draw isn't good enough so I hope that we can get that second goal.

Wasn't great. First point of 2020 at least. Poor players on that pitch. No bridcutt no verlinden no quality. Look weak at the back, midfield poor. Only standout players matthews and Murphy. Shocking referee. Weak. Bad challenge on Buckley who looks like broke his leg. No card. Referees have to protect players.

And I thought that Hill said that any players that he would bring in would need to be better than the ones that he let go.
That's often a problem when you let players go before you replace them. You don't know what you are going to get and the problem is even worse because we didn't have suitable replacements in the club.
It would seem that Hill is not as clever as he thinks he is.

Confirmed, Will Buckley ruled out for the season with a fracture. A short and not very sweet return. He is on a short term contract. If that is for the rest of the season he will pick up his wages until his contract expires. Not a good result.

This feels and looks worse than the last time around heading to the 4th Division.
At least Benny's missing screens mystery has been solved as they were removed pending the top tiers being locked up for a season or two.

Think the reasoning for Buckley's initial release was his injury record. Then he obviously proves himself and now this. Jeez the guy can't catch a break.
Still new defender in from Sheffield United Kean Bryan Whose name could be any road round.
Still one more day of trying getting some rounder pegs in to go.
