Fulham v Bolton Wanderers

After a lively week off the field with mixed messages from chairman ken, club up for sale, not up for sale back to matters on the pitch as Bolton make the trip to craven cottage. A bogey ground in the premier league years(as was when Fulham played at loftus road) and a lot has been made of the fact Bolton have not won at Fulham in the league in 25 years. When I first heard I thought that cannot be right as Bolton won 4-1 at the cottage in the Bruce rioch promotion season. Frightening to think that was 25 years ago when Andy walker and super John were scoring for fun. Where did that time go? Onto today. Fulham who made last seasons play offs and one of this seasons promotion favourites have made had a mixed start. In 10th and 11 points away from the automatic promotion places while small crumbs not won in the last 2. Bolton unbeaten in 2 and 5 points away from the top of Kens mini league. The task for Bolton today and away at Sunderland on Tuesday is to ensure that gap does not go bigger. Team news. Only squad players Reece Burke and chris Taylor unavailable through injury. Likely to be unchanged although the return of will Buckley could mean pressure on Armstrong's place. A difficult game today. Fulham don't score a lot but a lot better possession wise stats. Last 2 games Fulham 68/32, 71/29, Bolton 35/65, 33/67. Suggests Fulham will dominate possession while Bolton sit back and wait to break or hoof to madine .
