It's fa cup 3rd round time and one of the most looked forward to weekends of the season as 64 teams dream of being at Wembley on 21st may. Wanderers make the 235.4 mile journey to non league eastleigh a team currently in 4th place in the vanarama national league and chasing a play off place for a potential place in the football league. Nicknamed the spitfires eastleighs ground ten acres has a sold out capacity of 5192.Eastleigh in Hampshire is the main town in the borough of eastleigh and lies between Southampton and Winchester. Team news. As of press. Mark Davies is on his way to Sheffield Wednesday and Zach Clough has not boarded the team coach amid speculation he is to be sold soon possibly to Wigan according to nuns. Shola ameobi is fit and could return as could Liam trotter who has returned from his loan at Nottingham forest. Wellington silva has been given permission by arsenal to feature. Emile heskey is out with a calf strain and Max Clayton is out long term so at least he can't be sold-yet . Commentary on tower fm and on BBC radio silent. Possibly a feature game on match of the day.

I don't have words as to how bad that was. Just glad we didn't lose. Although we could probably do without a replay...

Well Eastleigh showed us how easy it is to SHOOT
Let's hope it's a lesson learnt.

As a football fan to be honest I feel sorry for Eastleigh. They deserved to beat us, they were the better team by a long way.
Obviously as a Bolton fan I'm glad we managed to equalize, but we shouldn't have to be in a position were we had to equalize in the last few minutes of the game in the first place.
To make it worse I'm sure many of us saw it coming. That is how far we have fallen, fans of a Championship club can be sure that they would struggle against Eastleigh.
I mean no disrespect in saying this but even a rubbish Championship team like us should be able to hold their own against non-league opposition. Its sad to see our club in this state.
I know upsets happen in the cup, but they are usually a shock, not the expected result. I saw this coming a mile off. As soon as it was drawn I said we would lose. Luckily we managed to salvage a draw but we deserved to lose.
Sorry to all Eastleigh fans for spoiling your day. You were better than us and absolutely deserve to be in the 4th round. Good luck at the Macron, if we even still exist at that point...

There would have been hell to pay if eastleigh had scored with that idiot who had run on the pitch. The ref should have stopped play immediately but he played on-incedible!

Well reports suggests we are 1 debtor down. We've paid off the so called "pay day" loan after the sale of the office space.
Wigan now after the Euxton training facility. - May as well sell to them they've taken all our other stuff.
