Back on the road and another long haul trip to the valley. An ex premier league game in the early part of the decade, more recently played in the championship and league one. Some memories. Djorkaeff, Kieran Lee masterclasses, mark Davies career ending injury. Allardyce v Curbishley. In the modern era Bolton have won the last 4 between the clubs. Recent form is won 4 out of 5 to put Bolton 4th and 2 points from 2nd. Charlton are in reasonable form but look inconsistent. Team news. Injuries are clearing up. Carlos Mendes is now fit, just missing Johnston for the season, Dempsey for 2 or 3 weeks and Ashworth short term. Morley is likely to return for Maghoma. Danger time as with more options than places in the match day squad it's no keeper on the bench day. Must dash, early start for the 3pm kick off.

Salford 4 Manchester United U21 3 so both bolton and Stockport go through. Bolton need a point to finish top and a home tie.

The FA Cup game looms large, but I can't get excited about this tie. Obviously, I hope that we win it
Will we get an upset? I doubt it but we will just need to wait and see.

I'm bored!
I think I'll do my impression of half day closing.

Is it team news and the latest injury list later or is it Friday this week?
Mind you the way we injure, announce and hush up injuries until after a match, is it pointless doing one these days.

Who's tripping up over a cone in the last 5 minutes of training on Friday and ruling themselves out for a month?

Cancel training there's a bug in the camp. It may just reduce the risk of another injury.

If it's not injuries, it's sickness in the camp. Having said that my son and his family have all been down with a nasty bug this week.
My wife and I stayed away as we weren't required for the school run. However, I have a feeling we will be at their house on Saturday for fireworks night, although I believe Lancaster City Council has cancelled the normal fireworks display this year.
It will have to be a back garden display this year.

How's the 1st team coach betting going, is it still odds-on Matt Craddock will get the job?
He has improved some of our set pieces since he stepped up or is that me imagining it.

Down to the last few for 1st team coach job. If Craddock gets it we'll need someone else in for the B team.

According to Evatt, it is down to the last two. You would think that Craddock would get the call, but we don't know who the second applicant is.
I know it's a very long shot, but if McGinley is in with a shout, I would pick him, I'm sure that he could have a positive effect on our midfield players and our strikers.
