Bolton Wanderers v Gillingham

Where do I start? Create a beginning. Go back in time and the Whites had secured their 2nd league win on the trot beating the mighty Shrewsbury and sat 7th 1 point from the play off spots. A defeat at Sheffield while disappointing no signs of what was to come. A 4-0 defeat by Wigan and 3-0 defeat followed by captain Antoni sarcevic's astonishing transfer to Stockport yesterday suggests all is not well in the camp and the wheels have fallen off somewhat. Looking at today's league table is sobering. For those giddy enough to thing Bolton were going to get promoted again we are now 10 points plus gd from the automatic promotion places. 6th and the play offs look achievable but for the Bolton side we have seen the last 2 games and without Jones and sarcevic I think mind the 7 point gap to 4th bottom. The next 2 games against bottom half opposition before our 2 cup games represents a chance to get back on track. Is it too early to call this a 6 pointer? Team news. No sarcevic now and bad news Jones is out long term with tutte. Too early for Amaechi and Edwards to be involved. Santos is back from suspension and as captain. John could be fit to return.

I see the club has made some banning orders for some of the culprits of violence during the derby game against Wigan. My problem is they aren't necessarily banned for life. Or am I being too hard on them?

Sounds like the club are going to try and rehabilitate them with meetings and lectures and mark their card for certain offences. May not be a bad thing to give them a chance, provided it's two strikes and you're out for life.
Horses for courses depending on what sort of bad behaviour they've been caught in, some get a chance some don't. You would have thought this would have been published beforehand though.

It sounds like trying to reform Jihadists from returning to terrorism. It just doesn't work for the vast majority. They say what is expected of them and then continue to cause havoc.

They have put our club to shame. Leave them out of the equation. Didn't they get warnings from Sharon and our CEO?

Can we ban chucking ale into the air as well. That has to be one of the daftest things I've seen at a football match.

Confirmed playing so far for the legends game next month:

Jussi Jaaskelainen, Kevin.Davies, Stelios, Henrik Pedersen, Ricardo Gardner, Alan Thompson, David Lee, Gudni Bergsson.

Wonder who will be the next lot to confirm. Still a couple of weeks to get plans in.

Stockport have sacked Simon Rusk and assistant Mark McGhee.
What has Sarc been up to ? Don't say they are going for the Sarc player manager bounce against us in the cup.

I think we can handle Stockport. He is only one man so don't worry.

Team news
Baka out, Doyle a doubt and those one or two niggles that are not expanded on.
It could be an interesting front line down at Portsmouth.

Not a very comforting thought. It's a gd job that we have Dapo in the team.

Rise and shine another long haul game today.
There doesn't appear to be much optimism about for a good result from this one perhaps we can bag a surprise 3 points today.
We have to get back on the winning bus one day it might as well be today, it would be nice to enter November with a win to build on.
