Home sweet home as 7th placed Bolton host 6th placed Barnsley separated by goal difference. A 4 match winning run came to an end with two away defeats in Gloucestershire. Thankfully Bolton's home form is good with 5 wins and 1 defeat. A tough task today if Bolton are to beat Barnsley who have made a bright start to the season under new manager Michael Duff. A lot has been rightly made of Bolton's lack of goals and misfiring strikers as have the lowest goals scored out of the top 8. It should be noted though that Bolton have the best defensive record in the league a strong foundation to build on once Charles, bakayoko, Bodvarsson and dapo get fully match fit and confident again. Team news. Dempsey is back fit and Bakayoko will be considered after being rested at forest green. The only injury absence is Eoin Toal, not a miss today but would be on Tuesday night against Leeds u21s as evatt will look to give his full 24 man squad as many minutes as he can. Also I'm back today after missing a few games. Hopefully a lucky omen. Kick off 3pm.

Do we need to give a proper 4-4-2 a go without Charles for me.
'tis the only thing I can think off at the moment, we need to do something to get some life into our games.

Thanks Benny, It's been a busy week, I'm off to catch up on much needed sleep.

Thought ridiculous late on. The Barnsley player tried to take Morley out and if he had caught him could have been a serious injury. Stayed down and the ref stopped the game breaking the momentum. That kind of game though. Barnsley came for a point just like Peterborough did. Kept our shape defensively again and didn't fall for a sucker punch. Lack of goals is now a worry.

Dear Father Christmas
I've been sort of a good boy all year. For Christmas, I would like some striker vouchers to spend when the January transfer window opens.
Thank You
