Friday night football at the unibol and a local derby match in front of the sky cameras. The first meeting of the 2 clubs. Salford have come from.the 8th tier of non league football with 4 promotions under the ownership of the class of 92, while Bolton's fall from the premier league in 2012 to league 2 is well documented. Both promotion favourites at the start of the season, Salford on their 2nd manager richie wellens are 10th, while Bolton who simply haven't got going this season are 20th. Team news. The cavalry unfortunately didn't arrive. Doyle and jones have had setbacks in their comebacks and are unlikely to be fit. Sarcevic 50/50 with a back injury. Long term injured brockbank, Edwards, politic. Will evatt axe underperforming players? Will Gilks or Alexander replace crellin who is singularly responsible for too many goals. Other players under threat white, Crawford, kioso, gordon in particular. Possible recalls for comley, mascol, isgrove if evatt decides to shuffle the pack.

are we still counting that Newcastle U21's game just another training match isn't it and a chance for a few to get some game time in.
Since we've had a few games lately I think we deserve a rest

It deserves the highlights.
For those listening in black and white the fake crowd Sky toned it down and through the rear speakers last night during the live event meaning we heard more of Gilks and the benches

Thought I would rate evatts 20 signings.
Good ones. Doyle, sarcevic, Santos, jones, Delfouneso, tutte, kioso.
Disappointing. Taft, Comley, gordon, baptiste, maskell,gnahoua, white, crellin.
On the fence/need to see more of Greenidge, Gilks, hickman, miller, isgrove.

It just shows what a difference a good keeper can make. Hopefully, Evatt will have learned a good lesson and keep Gilks in goal.

So a senseless game beckons. We have to play at least five players who played in Friday nights win. I only hope that there are no further injuries.
It's just a crazy pointless trophy game that will not be financially beneficial, as there will be no supporters allowed into the stadium and I would think that any monetary reward will be negligable.

Think you get away with it starting 2 and 3 off the bench. That's what they did at Shrewsbury.

7pm Kick Off tomorrow if we miss it should we be fearing missing a goal feast will it matter if either side scores a hat full.

More frightening than the sum of Halloween and Friday 13th.
Here's Billy

Yes, Billy is back but Gilks to return on Saturday. I don't know why he doesn't give our own young keeper a game. If he won't play him he should have tried to get him a spot on loan.
