Bolton make their first ever trip to Burton's pirelli stadium today a journey of 92 miles. Not a lot of history between the clubs apart from two 1-0 wins by Burton at the macron. Bolton take a 2 point lead over both Burton and Barnsley into today's game and the maths are simple. Win today then it's in Boltons own hands to stay up on the last day. If Barnsley don't win Bolton will be safe today with that win. A defeat though will put Bolton in the bottom 3 and then relying on other results on the last day to stay up. Some stats. Bolton just one win in 11 and just one point in 6 games. Burton have won the last 2 and since the good Friday fixtures when Bolton lost at Leeds and Burton at Cardiff Burton have closed a 9 point gap between the clubs down to 2. Got a feeling those 2 points extra Bolton have got will count for a lot these last 2 games. Team news. Robinson and morais doubtful. Kirchoff still out. Likely recalls for Taylor and with morais possibly out would like to see little back and link with ameobi on the right. One of the strengths of the first half of the season was that link up. Surprised parky has abandoned it. Vela or noone possible replacements for morais. Time for the players and management to show big balls today. Cut these stupid soft mistakes out leaving mountains to climb all the time. Reckon the first goal is so important today. Need that win coywm.

Sunderland act and have new owners and sack Coleman. Oh for this to happen and send ken and parky packing.

Sounds like ken will be telling parky what team to pick. Sounds like he has run out of patience.

All fine and good of them to change, but we know that the blame will be on the fans, forums and other social media outlets, if the team lose next Sunday. Too much too late for me.

50p Parky sees a lawyer in the morning and employment tribunal to collect the forms in the afternoon.
Ken has opened himself up for a classic constructive dismissal claim PP will win something with ease if he picks the right legal team and doesn't go for a defensive line up he should attack Ken and he'll win one at last

Ken may have just told the mad Prof how to do his job, which took long enough, if that's the case. Since we've had the last of the frost then it is time for gardening leave to start

We've got plenty of scarecrows going for free.
They all come with excellent references for standing in the middle of a field doing nothing all day.

Win or lose on Sunday, PP has to go. A first division manager at best. No better than that and we need a Premiership manager. If Ken doesn't sack him even if we stay up there is something wrong with his judgment.
As stated above by Benny, we need to get rid of both Ken and PP. Ken's judgment on selling Madine without buying a suitable replacement and PP's form of not playing our young and rising stars has conspired to the predicament we now find ourselves in.

Darren was in this mornings training session at Lostock his directing traffic skills are obviously beneficial to his game with his control of the midfield using clear finger pointing and shouting.
The players are finding it easier to find him with passing accuracy up into the 90's. Fax has been sent to EFL HQ requesting permission to wear high viz car park attendant vests against Forest.
Every shot Darren has tried he has scored since painting the bar in car park barrier colours.

Kevin Davies is now unemployed has there ever been a double act of Kevin's in football management ?
Edit
scratch that can we get Kev Nolan released for 90mins on Sunday to link up with Kev Davies on the pitch.
