The Keith Hill derby and the last match before Christmas. A lot of history in this fixture. Losing 1-0 at Wembley in the play off final, a last minute Tranmere equaliser costing the 100 points in 97, the antics of john Aldridge in the league cup semi, our kids losing 5-0. The last meeting at least happier memories. A 2-0 win seems a lifetime ago but 1st February this year, a completely different Bolton side to that will play today, a good day from memory and one of the last games we could go to. Fast forward to today and a crying shame this fixture is played behind closed doors. Understandable with everything going on but was really hoping to be there today. Have to continue to watch on I follow for now. As well as Keith hill some ex wanderers in the Tranmere squad, jay spearing , kaiyne woolery and liam Feeney. Team news. No new injury concerns. Kioso and tutte still out although only short term, harry brockbank is fit and could replace greenidge at left wing back.

We don't need no wash boards our shirts are whiter than white before during and after the match.

Perhaps that's a big problem for Evatt, he may have a yes man for his assistant that doesn't have any ideas on how to change things and Evatt probably wouldn't listen if he did.
Whatever the situation, we don't have time to sort this mess without someone who knows what needs to happen. I don't think the present team have a clue.
It will be very telling if, after the transfer window, nothing improves.

That's the fella sits as though in prayer during a match you know the quiet one.
We don't have many coaches at the moment well not since he was promoted to assistant manager there is him with Mark Litherland the academy manager, Gilks coaching himself and Jules is wasted with the U16's. So who is the wisest of them all to advise IE when things are not going to plan and why do I get the impression its a one man band can all my bugging devices have flat batteries at the same time.
That Lostock structure review is still somewhere unwrap your presents carefully on the 25th it may be in there.

"Stig Tøfting" that's who we need to toughen our lot up I thought when I saw a DFDS container in the queue of operation stack.
Then Jeeves served dinner and you'll never guess it was served with a fine Greek salad where upon I starting humming Giannakopoulos like you do.
That's what we need at this club to sort out the players and IE, both of the above come with experience Stig can sort the players out show them how its done toughen up the best of the bad bunch and see off the weak ones while Stelios can talk sense and wise words into IE's shell like.
It's not a posh refined league this one is poor and open to anybody who finds the right combo we need to toughen up and learn how to get stuck in, IE needs to learn to be flexible change plan A into plan B as required and stop any more of this losing at home nonsense.

One more sleep and we'll know who's been good this year.
Two more sleeps until we fire up iFollow.
Will Father Christmas forget to put sunblock on Rudolf's nose again this year ?

Merry Christmas to one and all & a Special one for Benny for all his hard work, another physical match for the lightweights till we can get through the January window. But 3 points would be a great Christmas present for us all. 🌈Stay Safe🌈 but enjoy.
