The international break is over and it's match day and the cavalry has arrived. Northampton today's visitors to the toughsheet and it's the 3rd home fixture on the trot at home against sides promoted from league 2 last season. Bit of a quirk in the fixture list. This is bolton's 8th home fixture but only played 4 away. Will be a bit of a catch up as the next 3 league games are away. Team news. Santos and Maghoma return from injury and jones from suspension. Dempsey is out for month with his back injury, Mendes Gomes another week, Ashworth again picked up an injury on international duty and Johnston for the season. Today with the keeper we have enough to fill the bench without using the b team.. The choices today Maghoma or Morley, Iredale could move to wing back to accommodate the return of Santos and then it's Forrester or Jones. My guess. Baxter. Jones Santos Toal. Dacres-cogley Sheehan Thomason Maghoma Iredale. Charles Adeboyejo. Kick off 3pm.

I picked this one from IE out of all his comments.
“All the messages we gave at half time just went out of the window "
I still say we need a shrink, we may need to make it two. One for the players and one for IE. I don't suppose it crossed IE's mind, he was giving out the wrong messages at ht.
Talk about a game of two halves. We were a team heading for the Championship in the 1st half. Then went to a team struggling to make the play offs in the second.
All the head scratching can't be good for your scalp can it.

Extended highlights with the Northampton commentary. Is it really worth £5 a month for Neil's app with all the free content available?

Sorry guys, I've had a busy week taking out laminated flooring boards from the kitchen and replacing it with vinyl flooring. The flooring is now down and looking good, I just need to sort out the trims which is a small job and it's finished.
My stream didn't work at all yesterday all I got was no schedule available. I went to my friend over the road and watched the game there. he is going to give me details of his streaming service. Hopefully, I can get it sorted soon.
The first half was good to watch but the second half was dismal. The last four games have been less than convincing, it seems that we can't play the game at the same tempo for 90 minutes.
Portsmouth are looking the likely winners of the league at this early stage. Anything can happen but unless we start playing for the full game, I think we are likely to be one of the almost ran.
Of course, we have the January transfer window, but with Evatt putting out a warning that we won't be putting the club in jeopardy, I wonder what spending power he will have when the window opens.

I guess it falls to me then.

You obviously didn't go back long enough to catch up on the gossip. We did notice your absence without leave! It got to point on Saturday, where we were talking about contacting you to see what was wrong.
It's good job we decided to play safe and leave it until next weekend isn't it.
Next time: remember you should notify us first if you are taking any leave. It only takes a minute to pop on and let us know if you've been kidnapped by her indoors for some DIY slavery. Don't be leaving us hanging on wandering.
Good to have you back.
We expect you to make up for low post counts tomorrow, when you won't be late for the match will you!!

Thank you Pasty.
was getting up early and working until just before dinnertime, running around for tools from my son and picking up the items that I needed to do the job, they were long days.
I will do better in future.

Who's jumped the gun, saying there are no new injuries. Don't they know how many bad backs we suffer on a long coach journey!
Can it be true we've never scored a goal or come away with a point from Adams Park? It sounds like tomorrow night might be a night for washing my hair and having an early night.
