First of all I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas Day. Happy Christmas everyone. A boxing day trip to tier 2 Carlisle's brunton park with 2000 home fans and maybe one or two Bolton fans snook in. Carlisle in 3rd place with Bolton 10 points behind at this stage. With 1 win and 3 defeats in December I am hoping Bolton put in a similar performance that they put in at Cheltenham, stay compact and absorb the physical stuff and with a bit of quality from Doyle, sarcevic get the win Bolton need to close the 5 point gap to the play offs. Bolton haven't played Carlisle in a league game since 3rd march 1988 in a division 4 match. Bolton won 2-0 with a john Thomas penalty and a goal by Nicky Brookman. Two home games follow, one on tuesday and one next saturday before a mini mid season 10 day break in a lighter schedule than normal at this time of year. Team news. An update. Politic out for the season, miller April, gnahoua January. An update on liam edwards. Faces another op in January. Shown promise and hope with the protection of a contract until 2022 forgets this season and comes back fully fit next. Kioso and tutte fit and expected to come back for brockbank and isgrove. Likely side. Gilks. Baptiste, Santos, Delaney. Kioso, Sarcevic, Tutte, Thomason, Jones. Delfounso, Doyle.

Keep an eye on the P's
Tier 5 will be along just as soon as we get the New Year out of the way.
Was the target for fans getting back in last October that seems a long time ago now perhaps it's time to think about a restart next season.

Best have a good rest today and an early night there's no point getting excited when we turn the calendar over save your energy and drinking for Saturday when it's match day and the window opens.
Will there be a list of outgoings published in Saturday's matchday program followed by a shock team sheet full of new free signings.
It won't be long before the new faces are injury free and up to speed now where have I heard that before.

It's been an ongoing saga since Eddie decided to withdraw his funding and the lack of cash became a problem.
This present problem has been caused by our inability to sign any players for money due to the embargo but the good news is that we will be out of embargo for the beginning of next season. It will then be a case of how much is in the kitty if anything, due to the lack of funds coming through the turnstiles.

Best hope Crellin catches his train rather than dropping it and running past it.
Now that algorithms are out how much room has IE got on the Woodbine packet there's numbers of bodies and salary cap to work out.
Perhaps IE should play it safe and do 2 for 1's that's for every two out we bring in one good one.

I knew those giant blue groundsheets would come in handy one day shame they were sold off for sixpence a piece.

Happy New Year to All
The UK left the EU last night scuppering our chances of signing a raft of foreign players in time for the match tomorrow we've not had the best of luck since IE signed for us I hope things start to improve soon.
This year our embargo should end but will it really and fans should be allowed back in the ground I've heard that one before.
Will Bob make an appearance with the magic letter.
Where are we going where will we stop Stay tuned we've a bag full of surprises for this year it can't be any worse than the last can it.
Let's have a tune and a Sing Along to get in the mood.
