Monday night football on sky sports and the only professional fixture in the UK so we should have the nations attention. Bolton now in 2nd above Stevenage by goal difference can go top and go above Portsmouth on goal difference. Once a premier league fixture Bolton need to show the nation how good they are. Form wise bolton 11 unbeaten in all competitions, 6 wins and a draw in the last 7 league, 1 goal conceded in 9. Fratton park hasn't been a happy hunting ground since Bolton last won there in 2009 in the premier league. Portsmouth have won the last 3 at home since then all league one fixtures. Team news. Just the 2 long term injuries Johnston and Nlundulu unavailable. This leaves a first team squad of 20 plus Matheson who has been flitting between first team and the b side. Likely starting 11. Baxter. Jones Santos Toal. Dacres-cogley Maghoma Sheehan Thomason Williams. Charles Adeboyejo. 2 players iredale and Maghoma are a booking away from suspension so be careful lads. Kick off 8pm.

A strange new day after a loss, we start all over again trying to go on an unbeaten run.
Who isn't expecting a big reaction and a bag full of goals on Saturday? I expect nothing less than a big bounce back onto the winning bus with plenty of goals.
Let's just hope that was our wobble and we don't see another for the rest of the season.

Not a great night for us, we should have done better. However, we have to dust ourselves down and start again.

So Accrington Stanley away in the next round of the EFL Trophy as they beat Lincoln 1-0.

I'd forgotten about the cups.
I hope we have enough players left to complete the league mission, when we've finished with all the cups.

How did you manage that Benny, quick on the finger tapping?
It's a sign of something happening in BL6, when it's a nightmare getting away tickets.
There has to be dancing in the fountains at the end of the season or there'll be trouble at the top. We can't afford to linger longer in L1.

Pure luck with the interweb. Been on the other side last season with Accrington and Barnsley.

Dan Nlundulu is still a bit drunk from the anaesthetic. Will he make it back, to play a part in a cup final.
I guess he could make it, if he avoids the cones and steps into the portacabin at Lostock.

Burnden aces a better source of info you need to know rather than the Ben. Sheehan misses tomorrow 1 match ban. Only get a suspension for 10 bookings now so iredale and Maghoma are safe now. Thomason is on 7 cards.

Thomason got booked at Portsmouth so he's on 8 yellows before today's kick off.
We'll probably need to update it to 9 at the final whistle.
You can't keep up with the little rule changes these days can you. Who knows when the second stage for a big bag of yellows kick in and when does the slate gets wiped clean again
