Bolton v Stevenage today at the unibol one of only two league fixtures as 7 matches already postponed due to the cold weather. Thankfully having a premier league stadium and facilities ensures today's game goes ahead. Unfortunately bolton don't have a premier league side! Perusing the league table this has to be a relegation 6 pointer. A win for stevenage sees them go above Bolton and leave just Bradford and Barrow between Bolton and the relegation zone. Conversely a win today will see Bolton go to 13th within 7 points of the play offs with a favourable fixture run of 7 games against sides in the bottom half of the table. It's the hope that destroys you. Team news. Brockbank added to the injury list of Edwards, politic and Sarcevic. Gnahoua has to be a doubt for me having popped his shoulder out on Tuesday. Lee and one other player available after isolating. At least 1 change jones for brockbank and john, lee, maddison and adolayan are options to freshen up the starting 11.

Evatt should appeal the red but whether or not lightning will strike twice is debatable. If the independent panel is being truthful we should have it rescinded.

That means that I will miss the first half. The EFL is not fit for purpose.

Are we rolling in it due to the iFollow money to be able to splash out.

MJ Williams red card ripped up on appeal sadly there's no mention of the ref being sent to a re education camp.

This rearranged game isn't good. Looks like its not free on skybet. Also 5pm kick off really isn't good for me. Won't even leave work until gone 5 so won't be around much later. Can pick up Bolton FM 96.5 where I work so can listen to the first half on the radio. Will cobble a match thread together midday.

Wet and miserable in Mansfield until after lunch Yorkshire time which means reducing drying time before kick off

There is a lot of speculation regarding the state of the pitch. It's likely to be a mud bath by the time the game ends. I hope that our players have the stamina to run and stay relatively fresh for the whole 90 minutes. When a pitch is in a bad state, I always feel that it favours the home side who play on it regularly.
We will see. I hope that the new class at the UniBol will be good enough to overcome any obstacles and also that we have a decent ref for a change. The previous two didn't cover themselves with glory.
