Wanderers head to deepdale this Halloween for the first competitive match between the two clubs since that famous day in may 2001 when Bolton beat Preston 3-0 at Cardiff's millennium stadium to win promotion to the premier league. How different things are today. Bolton are bottom of the championship with an away record of w0, d1, L5. Goals for 4, conceded 14. Also Preston have not won at home and with a record of d4 L2 something has to give today. Team news. Zac Clough, wellington silva and tom eaves are out long term. Depending on which article you read mark davies is fit or he's not with an Achilles injury. Heskey and madine are fit but walker, moxey and dobbie are out. Spearing? Who knows can't find anything on that one. Prince is suspended which could mean a recall for Dorian dervite . Possibly a first start for shola ameobi and loan signing Luke Grattan could be on the bench.
Kick off is 6pm, no idea why. To avoid clashing with the rugby world cup final? Coverage live on sky sports 1, tower fm 107.4 and radio Manchester 95.1 fm, dab and freeview channel 719.

You can just see dervite on the cusp of doing something stupid.

Madine oh so close. Good save from the Preston 'keeper.

0-0 Nothing to shout about but we move up the table to 22nd position. 1 point off getting out of the relegation positions.
Good night guys.

One win and it's November. We sacked others for less. Football is dire too.

You can't see us winning too many with what we have. Just have to scrap for every single point and hope there are 3 worse teams come next may

We offered nothing in the final third.
Madine came on and showed a couple of decent touches but anything around him was a slow nonsense.
Those who were taking risks shouldn't have been doing where as those who should've been taking risk weren't - this is the long and the short of things.
A point away where we showed nothing is OK but factor in Preston were there for the taking and it's very disappointing indeed.

0-0 v Preston can it get any worse.
I honestly could not watch that week in week out.
At least listening to it the commentator makes it sound like a good game.
If Lennon tells us there are positives to take out of that game,I may never trust him again,
He as to work with what he has got,trouble is he has nothing much to work with..
The likes of Clough,Vela & Clayton will go down hill playing alongside this dross.they need to go back to the youth teams for there long term progress.

Good on the fans who protested about Gartside. More of that is needed. What difference it will make I don't know. However, at least we no longer look like a club that just accepts this mismanagement. We have to show we are not happy.
