After yesterdays events it's back to matters on the pitch as 2 championship clubs meet at the macron for a chance to face one of the big boys in the 3rd round. Both managers are expected to make numerous changes as the championship remains priority. Pp is expected to juggle the 19 professionals he has at his disposal and add one or two non professional youngsters like Jack earing to the squad. Wheater is unlikely to make tonight and vela and Ameobi remain injured. The likes of Chris taylor, king, turner, perry, hall remain unavailable for selection because of the embargo and saving that last space. 8pm kick off and £15 admittance. Come on down, Ken has spoken again. Wasn't going to go but gets me out of the house.

Team sheet for Friday will start with Madine who wants a go at filling in the rest

Would make that one change. Madine for Wilbraham. Darby was outstanding 2nd half. Limited player but defends well. If wheater fit him for dervite but the rest have earned a start for me.

You know I'd start with the same and leave Madine out Wilbraham might just need a run at the job rather than cameo appearances in a different formation and style

Half day closing today I've done my little bit so I'm off out.
I'll leave you to contemplate that urban myth about only winning when Madine plays for your half day at the office or whatever it is you do.

West Ham Away
Be a bit short on players for that won't we with having two who can't play already.

West Ham United Away. It won't be easy but who knows what will happen. At least there should be a decent crowd.

Is it Friday already and its a match day it don't feel right does it.
Chairman Ken's notes have completely dried up to a trickle of waffle not really communicating with the fans is it I guess that's why his lot are called inner circle you got to be inside the inner circle to know what cunning plans he has in store for us.
Onwards and upwards will it be our first 3 point haul in a league game this season tonight ?
What will the mad Prof Parky experiment with tonight or will it be the usual until subs time its a hard one to call. Start with the same starting 11 as the midweek cup game for me but he won't will he !

An omen perhaps? Bolton beat West ham away on the way to the league cup final 95.

As we all know, three points are the order of the day. I'm not sure what's on family wise but between you me and the gatepost, I'm fed up with eating out most nights and not climbing into bed till after 1:00 am. I'm getting to be a miserable old git.
I'm going to organise a BBQ for Saturday. Sod them all, they can stay in.

I hope we are still trading by the time the West Ham match comes around as I would like to watch a game at the Olympic Stadium and it's only down the road from me. Maybe I'll put a fiver on Bolton to win, and a saver on Bolton to go bust before the match
