Last match before another international break. EFL trophy action and the final group match which is effectively a knock out. To guarantee to qualify Bolton need to win either on the night or if a draw win the penalty shootout. Draw and lose the shootout Fleetwood qualify and Bolton will only qualify if barrow beat Aston villa without penalties. That match kicks off at 7 so if it gets that far we will know. Bolton lose they're out. Confused you will be. Team news . Still out Dempsey, Mendes Gomes, Toal, Forino. Thomason. Jones and Osei-Tutu only available from the bench. On international duty Charles, Southwood, Sheehan, Schon. Unselectable Coleman. Several academy players will be used to fill the squad. A strong 11 likely to be picked. Baxter. Forrester Santos Johnston. Dacres-cogley Sharples Ahmed Matete Williams. Lolos Collins Adeboyejo. Kick off is 7.45 pm.

Half time.
Passing like we're bored after taking too many touches.
Think I'll take the second half in. A total about turn to what I said this morning.

Shouldn't be coming to this. Bolton need the draw to qualify. The shootout only decides who finishes top of the group. Bolton lose on 90mins out.

Currently 1-1 equaliser was shambolic loss of possession by a bored Collins, Jones let his man go and Forrester deflected it in. That was 10 minutes ago.
Not much happening since. Should've taken my own advice

Don't know what the sorting rules are.
I think if we lose on pens we're out on a three way head to head. That's what I have in my head anyway.

Subs required here. Need to start trusting more of the youngsters in games like this that matter but don't matter.
Instead we get McAtee for Lolos.

Checked it is goal difference first.

Don't think it matters now.
Collins taps in for 2-1.
Great ball from Sharples-Ahmed and easy ball across goal for the tappiest of tap ins.

Late drama in the game. Later drama for me after discovering my boiler, already broken for hot water, had decided to leak depriving me of heat this morning as well.

Hi guys, It seems like another uninspiring display. I know there were changes and we did win the game but from. the scores Iles awarded to some of the players, It doesn't seem as if some hadn't learned any lessons from Saturday.
I reckon Evatt should have to sort it out by Christmas at the latest. He did mention in one interview that he needed new players coming in in January.
He wouldn't be at Bolton if he can't improve with the squad he has. He brought every one of them into the club.

8 days since activity. Is it viable carrying on? I have tried to get new members on the main Facebook groups but doesn't seem to attract people. Seems Facebook is the way to go.
