i arks you this...says Masky scratching his todger...have we ever kicked off at such a late hour....probably but I can't remember when? Probably to do with congestion, but it'll place me outside of my bedtime zone! The once mighty Bolton, newish manager, could be difficult this one. Can't think of anyone famous to come out of Bolton, except big Nat and Francis Lee! C'mon city.....we will win! TEAM NEWS Bolton are without both Kevin McNaughton and Joe Mason against the pair's parent club Cardiff. David Wheater could be back on the bench after returning to full training following a back problem, while Liam Trotter (hamstring) may be drafted in for his first start under Neil Lennon. Cardiff will be without striker Kenwyne Jones when they make the trip north. The former Sunderland forward has flown back to Trinidad after a family tragedy. MATCH FACTS Head-to-head Cardiff won the last meeting 1-0 at the Macron Stadium in the FA Cup in January - their only win in the last six meetings in all competitions. Bolton have won 11 of the last 12 meetings at home in all competitions, losing the most recent one. Bolton Wanderers have won two of their last four games, after winning only one of their first 11 games in the Championship this season. They won their last home game 3-1 against Brentford on 25 October - only their second league win at home this season.

Mine too. Why are we so slow out of the blocks? 15 minutes, no shots on target ( from BBC) and now 2 down wtf.
So he's passed when through the middle and tamely hit a 'better than half chance'. Don't know how much longer we can wait for Alf to find his scoring touch. Hope he proves me wrong.
Can anyone explain why we needed THREE centre backs on the bench? Connolly yes to provide cover for FB's & CB.....can understand why we need one more.....But to have all three on bench is nonsense. Especially when we're crying out for creativity further up the field. I personally would have left either Turner or Gabbs out all together (which one depends on how fit Turner is), and had Daelhi on the bench....could even have just Connolly on bench & put Daelhi & Guerra on bench. Also I would have brought Kimbo on instead of Whitts in second half.
