Midweek game against a B.

[Mr Sitter]

Correction, we are on, just scrolled down the sky list and we are at the bottom as we are kicking off at 8 pm
Apologies for the confusion

Thank you for clearing it up

It seems to be listed on Sky but not listed as available on Now which is annoying

The match has now appeared on the Now listing.

Play anything like we did against Wycombe and we are going to get battered.
We need to be more solid at the back and need more bite and presence in midfield which has looked quite weak lately.
Hopefully LR has done his homework and knows Bolton play with wingers who like to get a cross in, with all that in mind I would play a 5-3-2 of
Pereira
Nyambe O’Connor. Ward. Dorsett. Roberts
Frazer. Wing. Savage
Doyle. Marriott

Subs Stevens Yids Burns Lane Young Ritchie Kelvin

Keep it tight and keep a clean sheet and Marriott scores with our only shot on target for a 1-0 win. Thank you very much now TROTT on back to Lancashire!

Called the line up, let’s hope the 1-0 prediction comes true

[windermereROYAL]

Should have been behind after 40 seconds

[Snowflake Royal]

Not a great start. Ward flails, O'Connor and Dorsett conspire to play the forward on but be flat-footed.

Then Pereira plays it straight to them in the middle of our half 4 minutes later.

Not convinced by playing no wingers with Roberts and Doyle out of position. It's, er.. a bit patchwork and uncreative.

[Snowflake Royal]

Ambitious

[windermereROYAL]

Not great again

Had to put it on mute, women comms do my nut in.

[Snowflake Royal]

Sissoko looks worrying, and Pereira's distribution of concern. One straight to them to set up an attack, two straight out over Roberts and another putting too much pressure on Nyambe for him to lose it.

[windermereROYAL]

Nyambe looks about 50

[Snowflake Royal]

It's just a receding hairline.

[windermereROYAL]

Huddersfield losing, big chance to draw level tonight if we can nick a win.

[Sutekh]

Not overly brilliant a start but seems to be very slight improvement on the start v Wycombe. Gameplan already spent though with Roberts being replaced by Lane.

[Sutekh]

Huddersfield losing, big chance to draw level tonight if we can nick a win.

5-0 win will put us in the play off positions

[Snowflake Royal]

There's a sense Bolton will get something sooner or later.

[WestYorksRoyal]

They are somewhat better than us.

[Orion1871]

O'Connor booked after the linesman on the East Stand side misses his second blatant Bolton offside of the evening.

[windermereROYAL]

Pretty much second best by some margin all over the pitch, good choice not to go.

There certainly is
