Could depend on the Leicester/Watford result tonight. If Leicester lose or draw, Freedman will come for a point - that'll do him with Blackpool home in their last game. Fellow playoff contenders Leicester and Forest play each other for their last game, so either both will drop ponts or one will drop the lot. That'll put Bolton in the playoffs. If Leicester manage to win tonight, we could see a much different game at the CCS tomorrow. We don't need the points, so do we care?
I don't like to think of this team not making a full effort to win, and with nothing to lose I would expect just that. A free flowing game, everyone trying and showing a bit of flair, instead of having to grind out a result which is what we have done , a lot, this season. Besides, some of the players will be thinking they need to impress.
We should be able to relax a little and turn on a performance like in the early part of the season. I'm looking forward to the match as much as the occasion. Will be good to see Lennie Lawrence there to watch us receive the trophy.
From a supporters point of view, the game itself is almost irrelevant given what will be following although having said that, I still want to see the same work ethic and commitment and go for the win. Even with promotion and the title in the bag, I think the players will want to sign off at home in style and I wouldnt think Malky would expect or allow any less anyway. This is a good point also. With the silly season already started, some of the squad will have seen the rumours (presumably) and the seed of doubt may have been planted so they will/should be thinking they need to up their game for the final two games (although if they haven't given MM food for thought by now, two more games wont make a difference) I'll happily let Mr Freedman worry about other results affecting his game plan/tactics. I will take great pleasure in reminding him, once again, that we are, in fact, most definately, unmistakably, irrefutably, undeniably, without a shadow of a question of doubt.... not f'kin scared
Leicester losing last night will mean Freedman will park the bus and try for a point - could be a big, big mistake. I'd fancy their chances more if they took the game to us rather that sit back - I think we'll hammer them. (waits for 5 O'clock to look a right pillock )
I dont think so. If they get a point if Leicester win their last game Bolton will need to win their last game. If Bolton lose they will be above Leicester if they win their last game. Bolton need 3 points. Today is opportunity number 1. I think it will be a draw. I dont think Bolton will go all out attack. But I think they will want all 3.
I'd like to see Cardiff play care free football and turn on the style, however I think Malky will want to sign off at home with a win so same as normal.
Leicester have one game left - at Forest. After today, Bolton's last game is home to Blackpool. Freedman will look to pick up all three points in that one - they've got a good record at the Reebok. I think they'll be more scared of Forest than Leicester, but if they get a point today, they'll be virtually over the playoff line. They should win that last game against Blackpool, and Forest would have win at Millwall today AND then hammer Leicester to catch them on goal difference. Bolton will come for a point today, but wont get it.
