After the midweek defeat at Accrington Bolton are now out of everything and as the cliche goes can now concentrate on the league. Looking a more and more difficult task to avoid relegation to league one now. 15 points to safety and really need to start reducing that gap sooner rather than later. Handicapped by a crippling injury list the cracks particularly in the back 4 are starting to show. 11 goals conceded in the last 3. That hole needs to be filled if Bolton are to have any chance of survival. A tough game today away to Peterborough who are third and looking to close the 4 point gap on 2nd place. Peterborough will have ex Bolton player mark beevers playing today. Team news. A list of players unavailable alnwick, brockbank, hobbs, Edwards, bunney, Luke Murphy, bridcutt, Crawford, Buckley, hall. The absence of alnwick, hobbs, bridcutt, crawford in particular plus the depth on the bench the others will bring is hitting the club hard. At least no new injuries from midweek although several bumps and bruises. Commentary on Bolton FM 96.5 and radio Manchester 95.1. Nothing on digital today.

Benny , a hard game today top team in this league.
I think the K.H. plan was get to half time or just after with a 0-0 then go for it.
Why Jake Wright didn’t come on with the other 2 Subs
It would have left Bridcutt free to come forward, who sounded like star man today.
Not a bad result away against Peterborough, it’s all about the next couple of weeks now and January signings.

The next 3 Games Southend, Sunderland , Shrewsbury, S.S.S. NOT S.A.S , 9 points and beating Parkinson. I will take that all day long.
Bringing us a total of 11 points, and nearly half a season to go.

Hi, guys, I was called out early this morning to re-set the lights around my son's house. we set them up previously but he didn't like them so I have spent most of the day out in the cold assisting him.
Another loss but it was away from home with a free-scoring team, so losing 1-0 wasn't a disaster but the net result is no points.

Bridcutt is a good player, best in the side by far. The cb position is an issue. Zouma simply not up to this level, earl is really a left back and wright looks past it. Also we have hobbs who is never fit. Not an issue last time in league one when we had wheater and beevers. Who did we have as cover in 2016? I can't remember wheater or beevers missing a game.

Our team may not have much experience in Football management but they are definitely a team that is determined to sort out our club and mend the broken fences in the process.
Well done FV.
