pull this one off and we will be on the up
Bolton have joined Wigan and Blackburn in the race to sign prolific Huddersfield Town striker Jordan Rhodes.
Bolton's chief scout was at the Galpharm Stadium on Tuesday night to see Rhodes score his 37th League One goal of the season in the playoff semi-final second leg.
The Scotland Under-21 hitman is expected to leave Huddersfield if they fail to achieve promotion against Sheffield United at Wembley on May 26 with a whole host of suitors lining up to make their moves.
Manchester United were also represented at the game but Bolton's main rivals for the 22-year-old hitman are expected to be Wigan and Blackburn.
Bolton and Blackburn will be fighting for promotion back to the Premier League next season and will need a regular goalscorer to finish off the chances, but Wigan may struggle to accommodate Rhodes in their 3-4-3 formation which needs a stronger, back to goal-type striker at its spearhead.
Owen Coyle is thought to be a big fan and may be looking to add more Scottish blood to his squad next season, following the addition of Greg Wylde.
Jordan Rhodes.

if we are to bounce back 1st time we have to get a goalscorer in.in 97 we had the mcginlay/blake partnership 95 had coyle/mcginlay, 93walker mcginlay,88 and dont laugh we had john thomas!went up on those goals.dont fancy ngog to get many,k.davies maybe 10,unknown sordell.its not rocket science the championship or 4-5-1,holding midfielders etc.solid defence,good midfield,goalscoring partnership and 4-4-2. any money we have would spend on the lad.

Sordell scored 20 in 68, in 18 months in an average Watford side. He will score goals, and I think him an Ngog will link up well given the chance. I'd rather KD was an impact player rather than a starter. With better service for our strikers and being able to play 2 up front I think Sordell and Ngog would work well, one with pace and decent feet to create chances, and one with pace who has confidence in putting his foot through the ball.

Sordell won't be scorin' any if he's nailed to the bench for months (as he inexplicably has been, since OC bought him) ...and N'Gog will have to improve vastly on his (dire) return of 3 goals in 32 appearances (though I'm hoping he'll find his level in the Championship, and so do far better). Another McGinlay and/or (dare I say) Ricketts would be ideal, but proven goalscorers don't come cheap .... and ' cheap as chips ' will be the order of the day as far as we're concerned in the transfer market, for the forseeable future .....

We need 3, probably 4, decent strikers in the Championship. I think SKD, Ngog, and Sordell will all do well next season. I'm guessing Coyle will favour 4-4-2. But his favoured 2 strikers will probably change over the season with injuries, form etc. What I think we really need is a strong player, and a ball winner to anchor midfield.
