Burnley v Bolton Wanderers

Wanderers head to turf moor this afternoon against 6th placed Burnley who are on a flyer at the moment. Bolton currently stand 23rd just one point above bottom placed preston. Although a localish derby this seems a mismatch with burnley who have kept the bulk of their premier league squad seem awash with cash having spent £9m on andre gray who alongside sam vokes represents a formidable strike force boltons leaky defence have to face today. Speaking of defence its possible the entire back 4 could be replaced today. Moxey is doubtful with a toe injury so jose manel casado could make his debut. Wilson, wheater and derik could come in for pisano, dervite and prince. I'm not at all confident today. This is my first away game this season but if you are looking for lucky omens bolton are unbeaten in the last 3 away games i have attended at the back end of last season. Commentary only on tower fm this afternoon as radio Manchester have Manchester city on fm and bury v rochdale on digital.

More shots, more possession. Lose again due to mistakes - ring any bells.

Not happy - I work in an office full of Burnley fans.

Stone cold rock bottom again.

Results haven't run well and we're bottom on goal difference.

Our home form is now key with the next two at the Macron. Wins need to happen now as there's binning to get a gap between bottom and mid table.

Wheater had the ball cleared off the line late on. All route one at the end. Both goals conceded were gifts but good poaching by a quality striker something bolton do not have. Just weren't the same team after spearing went off, danns and mavies could not do the job spearing had been doing. The old darren pratley was back today, very poor. Casado was one bright spark got a good cross in him. Bottom of the league now but 2 home games and preston away need 7 points from that lot.

I am afraid to say that Armageddon is right. If we were relegated which is very likely we would still be one of the poorest teams financially in League 1.

Firing blanks and leaking at the back it’s a bit unhealthy like the bank balance
Still there are the positives the subs looked good and well turned out while warming up

With the debt as it is, with next to no tv income could bolton survive in league one? There are still players earning very good money that will still be under contract next season, also the macron is an expensive stadium to run. Looking at insolvency here.

Benny don't you know, our Chairman is the best thing since sliced bread! He will have a plan B,C and D. We will look back on his tenure and say wasn't he a good chairman.

Warburtons sliced bread of course they that once occupied that chair knew the bread was to be made outside of football. Their latest move into the vehicle parking business is a cunning one I can see Warbutons click and collect from these car parks dotted around country before long.

That perhaps should act as a timely reminder to the powers that be of the date that little loan is due to be repaid I guess that leaves the new player kitty at a minus 6.5m

As it stands no we couldn't survive league 1 but would there be a buyer at that stage willing to hedge their bets? A similar thing to Southampton for example.

Who knows but it's still early on in the season and we've a decent home record - if that goes wrong then it's time to run up the flag and go full panic.
