well i've talked about "Gimme" type games, and this one is as close as you can get. Grimsby are rock bottom, 2 defeats out of 2, and failed to score.
how will their break have affected them. fresh as daisies or bit rusty. we should be buoyed by our win last week . but our defence still gives me the jitters, and i'm not sure if we've totally overcome our mental blocks about playing well at home, given that the 2 away league performances were much better than the 2 home ones, which were both desperate.
we should win it..but i'm going to predict 1-1 on here. my small wager is double chance on bolton win & the draw. that should put the kiss of death on us !

Well, I wasn't going to watch this game 'cos I thought it was going to be a walkover, but having read that they were in isolation, I see why they are rock bottom. Yes, they haven't scored, but we went thro' the bad start, didn't we? I mean, not scoring.
I suppose we have to get used to betting on Div 4 football, meaning that I have a flutter, but there's always one that let's me down. Last week, I had two 4 team accumulators go down 'cos Crawley drew with Southend...
Go on 2-1 to us, but I don't bet on BWFC, for or against.

1-2 to Grimsby as all signs should point to a comfortable win for the Whites, if that makes sense🤔 but then my predictions are rank so who knows

I know we're not Liverpool or City but if Evatt wants us to be elite then games like this are a must win and there shouldnt be any nerves. Seen some odd results recently so anythings possible but really Grimsby shouldnt be able to cope with Doyle and Delfouenso. Hat trick time. Sarce and Darce(new double act) should rip through thier midfield, the back should cope all day with whats thrown thier way. Crellin may as well take a Sudoku book out with him he will be that bored.
Last week was a relief - now we need to have a bit more confidence. Bully teams really. Kill the game off then more goals.
Only concern, he says after that, is its a pretty miserable day. May not favour Evattball.

Rtf summed this up at the start, this game must be seen as a gimme. No result other than a win can be acceptable and I have no doubts we will win this one comfortably, as long as IE doesn’t tinker too much with the defence which coped so well last week. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to see us win comfortably by 3 or 4 goals and how long is it since we did that? It would also be good to get a clean sheet and if we can do that as well then what a confidence boost it would be. It’s understandable that there is a lack of belief given it’s so long since we dominated and won a game well, in fact I can’t even remember the last time we did. Hopefully that will be put to bed today so I’m going to say 3-0 to the Whites and no finger nail biting at the end for once!

Ever the optimist, I am expecting (hoping?) for a good win today.
Grimsby’s position at the bottom is slightly false as they have had Covid postponements. Whether that is good or bad for us I do not know.
I know that we played well last Saturday and parts of Tuesday’s match (despite some dreadful mistakes in that match, we could easily have won if Doyle & Delfouneso had played).
I presume that, apart from Hickman instead of Jones, it will be the same team. I don’t want any messing about and bringing Baptiste back into the defence.
I am hoping that Doyle & Delfouneso have now found their scoring touch and expect them to be dangerous.
I would like Sarcevic and Crawford to dominate the game more and create a few more chances.
The defence is still a concern – a clean sheet today would be great for the confidence.
I got last Saturday’s score correct so, going for a double, I predict a 2-0 win.

I would like to see Senior at right back alongside Brockbank Sancho and Delaney, and Riley in midfield alongside Tutte and Sarcevic. Remembering Grimsby's last visit in the FA Cup and how they took us to the wire am expecting a hard game inspired by their Ian, but would expect to win.

Should be a fairly straight forward game today but as we know Bolton doesn’t do anything straight forward so I’m going for a nail biting 2-1 win 🤞 stay safe one and all COYWM

Truly awful stuff, out passed and out moved by a poor Grimsby side. Our players are static, never move into space to give the player on the ball options, never pull the opposition away from the ball. I though IE wanted pass and move not pass and stop. What on earth do they do all week in training? To top it all where’s the commentary on iFollow?

From the sounds (no pun intended) of things whites, it's a good job I didn't purchase ifollow for this game. Sadly, you'd better get used to the state of play in this Division, it is the fourth tier remember. I think we've all come to the conclusion that Evatt has it all in his head, but putting into practice with these players may be the impossible dream.
I hope things improve and we win, no matter how we do it.

We’ve been much better last 10 minutes wots but we just don’t have a cutting edge and from a free kick on the edge of the area, CrWford couldn’t even hit the target. We should still win but it really is painful stuff so I hope Evatt right and they do tire after 60 minutes or it could be embarrassing? As for the sound, I thought we were supposed to have local radio commentary?

We've got commentary have you got your volume turned up? No interuptions, a few blips at the beginning before the game kicked off, but since OK

0-0 halftime and I have to agree with 63 there seems to be very little penetration we seem very slow to get the ball into the penalty area and instead pass it back. Our free kicks and corners still seem a little ropey 5 shots none on target we need to speed things up a bit attack a bit quicker I believe goals will come. Stay safe one and all COYWM

A really dull first 20 minutes when we just allowed Grimsby to have the ball and attack at will. I don’t think that we got into their area in that spell.
Then an improvement but we are short of players going forward. We have had 2 Crawford free kicks and one little spell where Doyle and Crawford both had shots blocked.
Hickman down the right is our only area of attack.
But, yet again, 45 minutes and not one shot on target.
