The last Saturday before Christmas and where would you rather be? Follow the crowds and do a bit of last minute shopping or sit in the macron in a half empty stadium? Some of us don't have the choice, it's in the blood and we always have Sunday for shopping. Also one game to go before we reach the half way point of the season. Bolton now 3rd in the (mini)league 2 points behind Sunderland who are top. A defeat for Bolton today and a win for Sunderland who play Birmingham who are bottom of the (mini) league then it's 5 points adrift of safety going into the 2nd half of the season starting with 2 away games at Middlesbrough and Sheffield united which could leave Bolton in a sorry state going into January no matter what guarantee ken has given parky. Bolton are in poor form. That disastrous defeat last Saturday v Burton means Bolton have lost 3 out of the last 4 and just 1 win in 6 since the promising run before the international break. A win would seem essential for Bolton under the circumstances but todays opponents Cardiff are in blistering form . Looking to get promoted are 4 points clear in 2nd and will be looking to extend a run of 5 wins and 1 draw. Parky has already upset Cardiff manager Neil Warnock saying wolves will walk the league so may come back to bite today. Team news. Not much to go on. Little could be fit and replace Darby in the one change. Personally I think a shake up is needed and would bring in Taylor, noone, derik to freshen up. Would look at ameobi playing up top. Just something different from Madine. You just know parky won't.

We may well carry on as we are with the odd blip producing a win now and again. Much will depend on the ins and outs along with how stubborn pp is going to be with his ideas while Ken suffers from the tutting sounds of bank managers and creditors. 21st place will be a bonus and go a long way to keeping us afloat until that elusive buyer pops up.
STOP PRESS
Carlos just got the boot at Sheffield Wednesday.

I bit like selling a house or car what you want and what you get can be very different.
Since that figure came from the well known Hans Christian at The Bun its probably best to ignore it and work on your own usual expectations if anybody is sold.

If Ken gets 1.5 million plus an add-on or two he will take it.
