Facts n stats

Fred Dibnah too.
Bolton have won four FA Cups and have spent the longest in the top division without winning it.
Boltonians are said to be the friendliest in the country.

Perm any 11 from 18 or so today. Someone on here said Tymon and Lenihan are going to play. Maybe. Odubajo and Robbo could do with a rest. Lenihan looked good t'other week for the ressies.
I'm always positive but things are shaping up nicely for the play offs. Seems a renenwed sense of quiet confidence within the team.

Jako in goal again?

Jakupovic

Lenihan Dawson Davies Tymon

Elmo Hudd Hayden Maloney

Diomande Akpom

Could be completely wrong. I think Diomande needs more games than anyone to get him going.

Regulation 2-0 win to City.

 

They're playing for places in the playoffs.

It'll be another cup team. I can actually see Chazz's team above being the one.

Regulation 0-4 to us.
