So so sorry for your guys loss, condolences to his family and Bolton as a whole.

Our game off today! Ugh bloody cold weather 

[oufcAD37]

Looks like you and Derby both dropped points today which is good for us, we play Barnsley on Tuesday so that will be a good game

I got home from Norwich around two hours ago, a 550 mile round trip to watch Albion lose 2-0 at Carrow Road.

[oufcAD37]

I've never done Carrow Road,  did you drive or train or supporters coach? 

[dje_wba]

I've been there a number of times, even after yesterday's match I think I've still seen Albion win there more times than they've lost.

I drove there, set off just after 8, got there just after 1, and then did the journey in reverse later.

[oufcAD37]

Ah fair enough 

[Muur]

Lose to Leyton cuz we suck ass, then barely beat Chelthem 1-0 when it prob shoudve been like 5-1 to them. oh well, i guess. 2 points off the top with 2 games in hand - but those are against barsnley and wigan, so oof. if this replayed match had finished 10 days ago instead of today, we wouldve been top for 3 days so thats a shame woudlve been a fun 3 days.

Lost to Barnsley on Tuesday,  we play Bristol Rovers tomorrow then Portsmouth on Tuesday night! Big game!

4-1 away win against carlise, thats much more like it. now second, with a game in hand on third and two GIH on pompey in first. pizza cup on tuesday, we could end up with two trophies this year would be neat

The way we're playing there is no chance of us winning mate unfortunately! 

Most of us want the manager out already lol 

[oufcAD37]

@dje_wba was you at your game today? Was the trouble near you? 

[dje_wba]

I chose not to go, partly so that I could stay up late last night to watch the Rumble, but also because I decided I could do without the hassle (although I wasn't expecting anything quite that severe to happen).

From what I've seen, the trouble was actually in the stand that I sit in, but it wasn't near where I would normally be sat, it was at the opposite end.

thanks for taking two points off pompey ;o were now 3 points behind them with 3 games in hand, so thats neat

we lost in the pizza cup QF on pennies but oh well. lets us actually catch up on all the other teams

[Muur]

draw against barnsley, which im content with as theyre a tough team. derby leap frog us into second tho, which is annoying. neither derby or pompey play on tuesday - with that being one of our three games in hand. gotta win and put on the pressure. cambridge won today, so could be a tough match on tuesday. we stay third if we draw, so gotta win

Did Caleb Taylor make his debut for Bolton?

[oufcAD37]

Drew 1 all with Reading,  we've dropped to 7th, no win since 13th Jan! Cant see when we will

he did. and he went off injured after an hour. good times. at least ahsworth is killing it right now from left back

kinda weird he have two wba defenders on loan. ashworth also only played like 4 times before williams' injury and i honestly thougth yall were gonna recall him due to lack of playing time, not send us another guy

taylor doesnt look out of place at least, but he seemed a little lightweight in the air and on challenges and such. but if hes ded now  then oof. he was only even brought in as cover in the first place with us having 4 CB unavailable and uh, i guess 5 now if hes ded. so ye he wasnt even really meant to be a proper player for us, is just a body until everyone else gets back and he cant really take santos's place when he doenst seem to be the type of player to dominate in the air like santos

also weird was us spending 750,000 on a stirker who hasnt scored in his last 20 matches. might not sound much, but, its the most weve paid since 2013 and in league one its a lot of money. at least he got the assist for ashworth's goal today so he sill made a goal i guess but hes a striker

so much for that game in hand. abandoned after 9 mins due to rain. going decades, possibly ever, without a bolton game being abandoned and then it happens twice in a month. crazy

Your fixture congestion must be through the roof?

between now and the last game of the season we dont have any mid-weeks off. had we progressed further in the pizza cup and fa cup we wouldve had weeks with something like sat - tues - thurs - sat, and that could still happen. the shrewbury game in the march international break will be postponed and with 0 mid week slots left itll just have to go on a random thrusday or something. we legit might miss out on promotion after every dies through playing too many matches. a single postponed match between now and april - and that shrewsbury game in march isnt gonna happen when half our team will be out on internationals, theres going to be at least one week with two mid week games in the same week. thatll be fun. happened to barnsley last year. near the end they were on 4 games in hand. had the same points as us. they played all 4, lost all 4, and dropped below us on goal difference. was funny. we only need to win one of the three to get into the top 2. win 2, we go tip. will all 3, we go clear by 4 points. if all teams were on 31 games and we werent in the cups we couldve been like 10 points clear or more wnning the league easy were being punished for being too good at this point

drawing against northhampton sure wasnt ideal
