Walsall v Bolton Wanderers

The oztumer derby as Bolton make the trip to the bank's stadium, formerly the bescot stadium. Historically not a happy hunting ground for Bolton at either the new ground or the old Fellows park. Bolton have never beaten walsall away in the league. Just a 3-1 win in the league cup in 2006 with goals from sigh, nolan, campo and Anelka. Modern day bolton midtable in 12th a point above walsall who are 14th. Team news. Changes expected after the 6-3 defeat by port vale. Thomason likely to be left out for white and there is media and fan pressure for Crawford to be dropped for isgrove. No new injuries to report. Good news tutte and brockbank could be back for the Christmas fixtures leaving politic, Edwards and miller on the long term list.

Some of the football is really good but I don't think there is much quality, leadership in the side in various positions. What I've thought all along is midtable, push for the play offs would be a good season. Going to take time to get the side right although really have to go for promotion next season. We have 2 decent strikers, sarcevic, tutte in midfield but not impressed by the rest. Need a long term keeper, better centre backs and wing backs. Cash in on Santos too. I don't think he is as good as the media has been making out. If evatt gets it wrong the next 2 windows he has to go.

I don't believe the experiment of playing a National league way in the leagues is working so change the shape and swap some of the players. Could the same players be better in a different formation have we tried yet perhaps its worth a go what have we got to lose.
Maybe a pot of gold would help show it can work playing this way. Train like Madrid and play like sheet how many fit that bill I still keep thinking this lot need a resident shrink at the club some of the players have so many different personalities at times.
There's a lot needs doing and a long time required before we'll get a proper tune out of what we are doing with what we have.
It's a long haul job needing plenty of time and money Who’s got the time and who’s got the money.

I always pick the oppositions commentary always good to hear a second opinion.

I watch through the bwfc ifollow app and there isn't a choice to change commentary. It was almost laughable yesterday. In the 2nd half someone had pulled the plug out and the guys in the studio started doing the coms but it was out of sync. Then it went to just silence round about walsalls 2nd goal. A tenner is a lot for all that with just one camera angle. For £2 less I've got a months prime and loads of premier league games. Ifollow really need to up their game. As for Bolton fm well what a shambles of an operation they are. Even got alan Houghton on and he's probably the best one on it.

Problem with playing nice football is that if a team is spoiling for a rumble we don't want to know.

When it turns to a scrap we play...well you can figure it out.

Bradford have sacked stuart McCall. A job there for parky.

Another one gone. David Dunn didn't last long at Barrow. 2 for parky to go for.

Parky back to Bradford, evatt back to barrow, sam back to Bolton. Sorted.
