The weather is getting better, the birds are tweeting in the morning and Bolton are doing well. We have a road map out of lockdown and everything is right with the world again. What could go wrong? The Wanderers now in 9th place and now just 2 points from the playoffs will be looking forward to adding to the 16 points gained from the last 18 available. Barrow 2nd in a mini league of 3 only by 1 point and with 2 games in hand will be looking for a win to get out of the relegation zone. Been a tough old season for Barrow on their first season back in the league. Already on their 3rd manager after Ian evatt. David Dunn lasted 5 months, Michael Jolly 2 months. Rob Kelly is on his 2nd stint as caretaker manager this time to the end of the season. Barrow have ex Bolton player yoan zouma in their squad but.he has barely played. Team news. Apart from politic and Edwards everyone is now fit. Last game of February and as mentioned elsewhere a year nearly since fans were last in the unibol. A few more months for that but we finally have that to look forward to.

Seen it back. No pen to me. Looked a dive. Clipped jones rather than the other way round.

"I spoke to their player after and he said 'I've expected the contact and your lad's pulled out and I've even told the ref that it wasn't.' He instantly held his hands up and said no to the referee and that's brilliant honesty and great spirit."

Lets all sing "I Don't Want To Go To Oldham" to the tune of Elvis Costello you know the one.
I don't want to go to Oldham for good reason I still get flash backs of Saint and Greaves being on the telly on a Sunday.
My old mum still treats me like I'm playing up when I ask her for a note to be excused going to Oldham.
Did I say I don't like going to Oldham.

Good goal from Miller and a great save by Gilks. Thanks for posting the highlights Pasty.
Can we do it on Tuesday? Yes, we can but it is going to be difficult. Perhaps Evatt will give Doyle a rest and maybe put Miller on from the start. Maybe one or two other changes would be advantageous.

Pondering the Isgrove and Dapo situation should they both be starting like on Saturday or should we be dropping one in favour of the more traditional left footed plays on the left and right footed on the right a case of either or but not both.
Do we go with John on the left wing and take your pick on the right Isgrove or Dapo depending on who they are up against.
Whatever the solution we still need to teach them how to put decent balls into the box and have players there to meet it.

I suggest evatt gets a thicker skin. That was keith hill's downfall having a pop in the media. Phil Parkinson had it far worse but always behaved respectfully even though we didn't like his football.

A bit of good news santos extends his deal to 2023. Puts Bolton in a strong position this summer if any club wants to buy him.
