First of a double header v Portsmouth at the unibol. Tonight in the EFL trophy quarter final and Saturday in the league. Which is more important? Win tonight and be 1 game from Wembley and a chance to win a trophy or Saturday and points to go towards a play off place? Team news. Two long term out Thomason and iredale. Changes expected. Santos will return and Afolayan is available despite being suspended for the league match on Saturday. New signing nlundulu is unavailable. Other players who didn't play on Saturday could start tonight with Jones, sadlier, beck, mj, Sheehan, Kachunga, Bakayoko also available to come in. No replay or extra time. Straight to penalties if the match ends a draw. Kick off 7.45 pm.

Here's a clue.
We can't pass on an opportunity to hear the voice of the late great Sandy Denny can we.

Tomorrow
We'll be sending the IE upstairs with the peg bag. Instructing him to drop the bag out of the window up there.
With a bit of luck, we'll lose some more pegs when it lands.

The winding road has called for Baka and Dapo. I wonder why will be the next one through the door. Will it be John or someone else?
Reading between the lines I doubt that it will be Charles. Evatt will want him up front with whoever he signs or with Jon Dadi.
Interesting times at The UniBol, I just hope that Evatt knows what he's doing. At least we are bringing some much-needed cash into the club.
Evatt is saying that it might not get spent in this window, pointing to the August one.
That might mean we are looking at loans which is all well and good but it would leave us with some serious rebuilding for next season.
I would much prefer to find good players that we can sign of our own and keep them. At the moment we have Trafford, Beck and Bradley who have added to the team but it will cause disruption when they depart.
I can't really see Trafford and Bradley being allowed to stay next season. We might be able to keep Beck but will we want to? I don't know.

Prepare for Splashdown
A wet weekend heading to BL6
Best ride ever being a Bolton fan isn't.
You'd make a fortune at Alton Towers with a Bolton Fan Experience ride. Up and down, round and around, twist and turn through the fax machine, splash across the pitch. The sudden drop onto the running track.
Where's that old computer programming tech.....

It looks like Williams will be starting tomorrow. According to Evatt, he's ready to go. He has had time in the pizza trophy game so I reckon he should be OK. If he gets tired, we can always sub him.
I wonder how long it will be before the exciting one is revealed?

I've only just read that, it's quite funny. You'll be talking about Mystic Meg next.

Friday is a day you don't release news, especially bad news.
Monday afternoon isn't a bad time to put any sort of news out.

Iredale confirmed as being out for the season. Never that fussed with him at wing back as I think left of a 3 is his best position. Leaves no cover for Johnston as left sided centre back so would have to use one of those square pegs.

Crayons, coloured pencils and pencil case ✔
It's the big draw today.

It will be interesting to see who we draw. I think I would like Accrington Stanley at home.
