Bolton on a run of 3 straight wins will be hoping to use tonights game in hand to extend their 1 point gap over 3rd placed Fleetwood. Oxford who have ex bolton player rob hall in their squad will be hoping for a win which would put them within 2 points of the play offs. Their form is inconsistent. Last 6 WLWLLW. This reverse fixture at the macron was the low point of the season. Outplayed 2-0 so a difficult game. Team news. Wilson,, davies, buxton written off for the season. No new injuries reported. One change expected, spearing for derik. 7.45 kick off live on sky sports 1.

optimistic is a funny old word that can raise expectations sort of one notch up from hoping or fingers crossed with a bit of luck.

I like this example from the Beano
"KEN Anderson is optimistic that Wanderers will be out of the transfer embargo in time to do business this summer. "

I could have sworn we were promised and assured the embargo would have been lifted a long time ago so I'm I'm leaving the door open on promotion being mildly optimistic and hoping at the same time but I definitely hope we get Amos's wages off the books this summer.

Golden, if we secure promotion, it's unlikely that PP will get the sack, money or no money.

He may make mistakes, but he will be deemed as having done a good job by most.

Pasty Ken was talking in his sleep when he uttered those words. Sweet dreams were going through his brain.

I thought Ken only dreamt of playing Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof.
Ken would be perfect for singing that famous song just picture Ken walking across from the training pitch carrying a bag full of dirty kit to wash singing "If I were a rich man............
Come promotion and investment he'll need to change the tune to Money money money I can't picture him being in Mamma Mia though should I be cautious and not get carried away.

Swie ,PP has done a great job,stabilised the club improved every player at the Club ,
Put a smile back on the faces of many.
BUT and it's a big BUT his tactics in the championship won't work, and we would return to exactly the same position we were in 12 months ago.
No point going up to come back down ,we would implode,
Get the Sun tan kid in next season OR promote from within our Club.

That's it time to pack it in for the day no point doing anything today you'll need all your nerves rested and ready for match day tomorrow.
Oh and don't bother reading the The Taming of the Shrew I think old Will was an Oxford fan there's no tips in it for us.

Watch out for serious Chinese Investment if we get promotion.
You heard it here 1st 🤔.

I'd rather have a full buy out than Ken's planned selling a bit of us. Still if we do go up it would come in handy for paying PP off and maybe leaving a bit for the next man to spend provided Ken could submit a valid financial forecast

Golden you could be right, but I maintain if we go up, he will not be sacked.

Who could we promote from within? I don't think that is on the cards. If Brown is on a contract he won't be coming either. Ken won't be wanting to pay compensation. I'd put money on status quo and not the band. That's before we have Pasty coming out with one of his little nuggets.
