2 of the big hitters in league one meet at the unibol today. Bolton's 4th game against teams currently in the top 7. Bolton in form after 3 comfortable wins on the trot in all competitions and are 5th. Peterborough relegated from the championship in that 7th place had a great start 4 wins in 5 but have now lost the last 5 on the trot in all competitions. Team news. No injuries reported and Bodvarsson is fit and back in the squad. 6 players have received international call ups, Trafford, Beck, Bradley, Charles, Bodvarsson and Bakayoko and will join their country sides this week. Kick off 3 pm and a request to take seats early as there will be respect paid to our Queen ahead of the funeral on Monday.

As good a win all season for me that. Very pleased with that. Didn't chase it, kept patient, kept the shape and didn't fall for the sucker punch. Bit of luck for the goal but we'll deserved. Surprised at Peterborough the way they came to spoil being a championship club last season. Shows the respect we have and how far we have come.

Thanks, as usual I'm off for a kip, exhausted myself after watching that one.

Thought the hugs and high fives among the keeper and back 3 at full time said it all.

A big deflection for the goal but they say you make your own luck.
A well-deserved three points so towards and upwards.
The Pizza trophy is on Tuesday so let's hope that we can progress in that competition and put a few bob into the kitty towards that elusive striker that can make and take goals. I believe that would make all the difference.

I'm not making another game until Barnsley at home unfortunately. Bodvarsson hasn't been called up by Iceland so just the 5 away on international duty. So no Trafford, beck, bakayoko, Charles, Bradley available for the Tranmere match.

7:00 pm kick-off tomorrow so don't be dilly-dallying along.
Pasty will be able to go to bed early and hopefully, a win will set us off for further progression in the Pizza trophy.
