No Dion!!
Will that be good or bad for us one wonders?
Hopefully we start with Collins & JDB and I do hope we’ve got Santos back
Our back 3 4 or 5 whichever system Evatt decides on will have work cut out with the attacking threat of Ladapo and May, so there’s no room for passing out from the back errors when these 2 are at you
We’ve got to be good enough to beat these There’ll be goals that’s for sure (commentators dreaded curse😬)
Derby v Stevenage Posh v Blackpool The only stand outs from teams affecting us as I can’t see Barnsley losing at Fleetwood, nor Pompey losing at home v Reading
We have to take maximum points COYWM Lets do this

Well I don’t know where to start with all that rioch? Yes I think we’ll definitely miss Dion however off the boil he’s been recently. I think there’s little chance of Bod starting it will be AC and Vic and I would be surprised if Rico starts too and Evatt will give him until Tuesday at Cambridge. Obviously the play out from the back is nailed on as IE has confirmed, it’s our method and he’ll stick to it. For me it isn’t the system that’s wrong just the silly rolls out and passes to marked players when other options make more sense. I agree that it works better with Rico in charge but surely the others can affect it properly without being stupid. As for Charlton they’ve only taken 3 points from the last 27 so unless either they improve markedly or we collapse we really should be winning this. Their fans seem unhappy with the form of both Ladapo and May so I don’t think they’re going to be the threat they may be considered. We should win this and I think we will.

Performances have not been good of late, just need to know is that a rut or a signs of things to come. Every team in the top 5 have had a dodgy patch. If this is ours it's all good because we have accumulated some points. If we intend on playing the remaining season as we have for the last 4 weeks we can forget about automatics. Derby and Barnsley too good.
I wouldn't play Dion tomorrow. Either Collins with Vic or JDB or CMG.
I do understand that Bod doesn't seem as good when he starts BUT he's not ever been allowed that time. Since his time here what would you say his record is for consecutive starts. I'd be amazed if its over 5. And some like Kachunga and Adeboyejo seem to be given freedom to stink the place out for 10 games on the trot.

A series of away games coming up after today so, yet again, it is vital that we win.
Our competitors also have very winnable games:-
Derby County v Stevenage
Fleetwood Town v Barnsley
Peterborough United v Blackpool
Portsmouth v Reading
Wycombe Wanderers v Oxford United
So a win is essential against a team that we have a ridiculously good record against.
Charlton are in a terrible run – 16 games without a win and with Portsmouth and Derby being their next 2 games after today. Let’s hope their form picks up after today.
I expect the defence to remain more or less the same with maybe Ashworth in for Ogbeta
Midfield, I expect Sheehan to return at the expense of Morley
I think the manager will go for Adeboyejo to start upfront with Collins, leaving Bodvarsson & Jerome to come on as subs in the 2nd half. I would start Bodvarsson.
Coleman
Jones, Toal, Iredale
Dacres-Cogley, Sheehan, Dempsey, Maghoma, Ashworth
Collins, Adeboyejo
We had a few defensive flutters on Tuesday so we need to be tighter but I will go for a 3-1 win.

Not one to state the obvious but after our Good Friday away game at Stevenage we should pretty much have an idea if we are going to get promoted or not with 7 of our next 11 games away from home it's imperative that we win our home games. So today let's not mess about let's have a win 3-1 COYWM

I forgot to mention, we have the referee who loves to send our players off – Ross Joyce.
Santos twice – Morecambe away and Port Vale away – both ridiculous decisions.
Kioso – Carlisle away – another bad decision
Jones – Peterborough home – correct decision.
Joyce has dismissed a Wanderers player in each of the last three games he has officiated.
Last 6 games for Bolton = 5 Red Cards for #bwfc and 0 (zero) for our opposition.
So no worries there then!!!!

Well, I guess we’ve not really seen the Collins Adeboyejo combo, so let’s get behind the pair and hope Evatt falls upon an unlikely success
Come on Wanderers Let’s do this ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

You have to go back 14 games in all competitions to see the last time we scored in the first 10 minutes (Leyton Orient 3mins 7 mins 10 mins back on 23rd Dec 23)
With Gary Neville accusing Pep and Man City of being ‘boring and predictable’ could that not be aimed at Bolton??
We certainly overplay for half an hour before any penny drops
Come on Bolton, excite me ffs
Adeboyejo on 3 minutes showing exactly why it’s hard to get behind him, rather than take his man on he goes for an unconvincing pass Commentators curse……. That’s more like it Vic⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

Believe it or not, I actually meant to type ‘totally pathetic’
Even the iPhone text correction knows the score on that Toal defending
And Coleman too

Why am I not surprised that a team struggling to get a win turns up at Bolton and we desperately want to help them get a win. I haven’t seen the game as I’m out today but it might be just as well COYWM

I’m only listening but it sounds just so flat and awful and again full of mistakes. We just don’t seem to have anyone on the park to shake the players up and everyone’s just passing to get rid of the ball with no plan. Where’s all the fast pass and move we had early in the season? Looking at the starting team we can’t complain about who’s on there yet they’re just so far below where they should be. I suppose after the last few performances we shouldn’t be surprised because we’re just going backwards at the moment. So what do we change now? For me Bod for Victor, CMG for Paris and Ogbeta for Ashworth and then just attack them because they’ll be desperate to defend this in the second half. Come on Whites wake up we can still win this.

Main observations on that first half
If you buy enough raffle tickets, one of them just might win (shoot) That’s what Charlton Pathetic did and it worked Twice
Oh Collins not doing enough. He’s all over the pitch, I don’t get his role, where’s the danger man we signed ??
Passes going astray from everyone mainly Iredale Coleman is not fot to wear any gloves let alone Baxter’s
Got to be honest, I’m the first on Adeboyejo’s back but I don’t think he should have gone off for JDB, it should have been Collins who has been less than average
