Another long haul trip today as Bolton have made the 244.4 mile journey from the macron to portman road. If you haven't set off by now you're not going to make kick off. Ipswich in 7th place with 4 wins from 6 games are managed by Mick McCarthy. How different would our recent history be if he had been given the job instead of Dougie Freedman? Bolton still recovering from that disastrous decision. Not finding things easy since promotion. Just 2 points out of 7 games and not being anywhere near to being ahead in a game. Portman road not been a happy hunting ground for Bolton since relegation from the premier league. The last 4 results between the clubs at portman road. 1-0, 1-0, 1-0, 2-0. 4 defeats and no goals so the omens not good. Memories of course of those 2 play off games. Team news gathered from various sources. Vela still out, derik out for about 6 weeks, ameobi out but could be fit for next Saturday, Buckley out not too serious. No update on Darby or Taylor's fitness. Thankfully the embargo is lifted and king and Perry are added to the squad. Possible recalls today for pratley and Alf in place of Buckley and Armstrong from Tuesday.

Next up Brentford supposed to be one of the easier games.
Fingers crossed somebody figures out how to score and stop conceding for that one.

Prof P reckons a win is just around the corner. We best start taking some of the chances if we are to get around the corner.

Pasty come on now, tell the full story 😉 With the win just round the corner, THEN WE WILL GO ON A RUN we're to only Phil knows😒

You see I didn't want to build your hopes up too much as a win around the corner could be followed by anything but Prof P's run around the win corner does sound a but far fetched at the moment especially when some of us are still waiting for last season claim by Prof P's that a goal feast would be along soon claim.
Unless I have it wrong and I should be thinking a winning run will include a goal feast after we get around the corner to that first win. It's all very complicated perhaps just a win would do for now and take it from there.

PP mage the comment regarding the win around the corner. That long ago I can't remember when it was. Must be another senior moment in my life.

Not scored in the last 4. Only 4 in total, only the morais free kick at Millwall counting to anything. Oh they beat Leeds 1-0 yesterday while we made them look like real Madrid. One clean sheet and that was against Birmingham who have been a sorry lot so far this season. Not been ahead in a game. How long has pp got? Will ka sack him? Pp on a rolling contract which means he will be paid a year no matter what. No running down of the original contract which was due to end this season. Then the matter of who you get. Stick or twist. Personally I think pp is safe as long as ka in charge.

Do we have a plan if so which one will we be using next time out.

Yes, we have a plan. We must find that win which is just around the corner. But which corner is anyone's guess.

I would like to know where these so called investors have gone. Did I dream KA stating he had some lined up, or was that line up referring to a firing squad?

You are not dreaming Isaac it was mentioned promotion would enable Ken to being in investors and funding through various means. Think it used to be called ideas of grandeur Ken believing it would take up him in the world away from the sofa loose change philosophy we appear to be stuck with.
