Bolton Wanderers v Cambridge United

Here we go bank holiday Monday football in front of a sell out home crowd. Bolton after winning 1-0 at Exeter on good Friday remain in 5th on goal difference. Today's opponents Cambridge United are 3 points adrift of safety but are making an effort to stay up having won the last 2. 3 points essential for both sides. I will leave it at that. Team news. Injuries digging deep in particular at centre back. Today's absentees Isgrove, Toal, Santos, Bodvarsson, iredale. No comeback date for any of them. No update on Declan John's fitness. Kick off 3pm.

The books have been cooked.
We are still a losing money club, which makes justifying the B team a difficult task.
Shouldn't we be charging clubs lending us players for us to develop. The price on the heads of Bradley and Trafford must have risen considerably since we've been coaching them.

We are still looking for the home-grown assets we can sell on for huge sums of money.

Promotion to the Championship should see us in the black after a season. Up there there's a much bigger slice of pie than down here in the lower leagues.

It's over to IE to sort the promotion out then.

It's too tight for me to call on whether promotion will happen this season. Injuries at a crucial time in the season won't help and can Evatt find the right formula with the players he has at his disposal?

I'm sitting on the fence but hoping he will get us across the line with what we have.

As for the finances, it should look better next year.

The Dempsey gang were given suspended sentences along with curfews.
How's that electronic curfew monitoring work, can Kyle play with a tag. On a long away trip we'll have to leave him behind to come back the next day.

Not a good look for Dempsey. I can relate to him being angry at his attacker but anything beyond that with the doorman is out of order.

Might be best if Dempsey sits the rest of the season and look at things in the summer.

No club statement on the matter, it looks like we soldier on with a tag.
Might be for the best, if he was dropped, we'd probably lose a bag of alternatives to injury.

Who are the unnamed players dealing with injury problems?
Is there a prize for guessing who they are?

Will it be bingo or lucky dip for the team selection at Oxford.

Don't be talking about players fighting for a place and no my dad is bigger than your dad talk.

The clue in the article. Going to attack. Mbete I bet injured after that daft tackle, guess Jones the other. Just play 2 at the back and 5 strikers.
