Top of the (mini) league play bottom today in a must win game for both teams. Best case scenario would mean Bolton 3 points top of the (mini) league depending on other results or with a defeat back on the bottom 3 points behind top of the (mini) league. Expecting a tense nervy affair but you never know Bolton may find their level and finally have a goal feast. Burton are in poor form. 1 draw and 4 defeats out of their last 5. However unlike bolton burton have an away win at Millwall so cannot be underestimated. Bolton 5 unbeaten at home since the 3-0 defeat by Brentford. Team news. Chris Taylor and Alf out through injury and illness. Darren pratley doubtful with a knee injury. Main selection issues. Will wheater return for burke? Horses for courses should. Buckley seems to have nailed down the left hand side of midfield so no issues there anymore. Replacement for pratley. A lesser spotted derik or karacan or a Cullen? Maybe Vela drops back in one of his last appearances in a wanderers shirt and a noone or Armstrong comes in? Maybe too attacking for pp that one so a tactical conundrum to be considered by pp if pratley is out.

Noone 2 year contract that's got to be a classic and excellent value for money with us not using him perhaps Ken is keeping him safe as an investment hoping the value grows with age.

Bob Jones is the ref for Cardiff.
He's the well known welsh railway signalman from the Valley's on the line which ruins past Idris the dragon he likes playing with the yellow and red signals he's bringing his younger brother Mark with him to look after one of the lines being younger he's only allowed a flag to wave the Cardiff train away.
Its going to be a tough match not like the last outing where the manager said he went into it expecting to win this will have plenty of cards with a built in blame the ref and linesman excuse for PP the EFL do go easy on us at times sending 2 Jones's is generous in PP's book of excuses.

Ken opens a present early it's a spade so he immediately starts digging at Parky.
You'll know where to find his wise words.

So now the big question will Ken's aunt Maude gift him enough money in order to rid the club of PP.

To be fair Ken has a point. Pp has been signing players then not playing them. Examples Darby, Burke, dervite karacan, Cullen, Wilbraham noone, alf have barely played. Bolton have a big squad but lacking in quality. Can't see being able to shift anyone apart from vela and the loans so not expecting too much action in January.

Karacan remains in the naughty corner waiting to see if he will be moved to the naughty step at least he can see the exodus of youth players going out on loan as Ken starts slashing wages to save money for all those January bills.
It's Friday I bet you are more excited about Monday than tomorrow relax have a Crunchie or two it's not the end of the world oups hang on Cardiff is the end of the world isn't it.

Damn The Beano they've only gone and pointed out the odds are against us if we lose tomorrow it'll made Ken extremely happy as its a perfect excuse not to spend on player or sacking a manger as we'd be odds on for the drop anyway.

The stats don’t look good if we fail against the bluebirds,the picture of Parky says we’re well beaten before the start,
As Ken says a squad of 33 players should be enough,
As most of the signings don’t get a game.
Could this be Parkys last chance ?

All Ken will do is shed the baggage and prepare for the drop while hoping a gullible buyer knocks at his door with a wad of cash to spend.

parky given a guarantee
You got to love the Beano for fun and games at this time of year. The comments will come we all want to know can we return him under the terms of this guarantee as he's faulty goods he's never worked properly in the championship no matter which club he's used at.

There you go clear proof the Beano stalk me the headline I stated in the above message has now been changed. I wonder if they have ever once thought about doing some real journalistic work I doubt it they only do pictures from past copies of the real BEN and Buff they mustn't be able to read or comprehend the words when newspapers actually did some reporting and up to date news they could learn a lot from them proper papers.
Then again a joke of a comic can be amusing at times.
