Three wins out of three since I left the country. I'm back for the Wolves game, sorry.

If you try and fly home by Ryanair there might be an outside chance you'll still be out of the country by the time kick-off rolls around.

He'll be lucky to be back in time for the home match against them.

Bolton forums will say unlucky. We'll say gritty. The world says awful.

I wish that was a "now and again" situation where you have to grind out a win but I've been to three out of the last four home games and been left bored shitless by all of them.  Slow, ponderous, negative and error prone.  I had free tickets today courtesy of the ticket office after them screwing up on my last visit (fair play to them) but I still felt ripped off.  Entertainment value was practically zero.  Somehow we've picked up 7 points in those games which you can't really argue with but this is, to me, awful awful football.  I can't remember three home games I've seen us so dull in around 50 years of supporting.  The results have been as much down to the paucity of the opposition and a bit of good fortune as anything else.  I think the better teams in this league would have left with the points in all three games.   For me Hourihane should be playing a no. 10 role and threading balls forward, He seems to have been told to sit deep and play it backwards and sideways to keep possession.   We knock it around a bit between Whelan, Hourihane and the back four and then it's  a percentage hoof forward for Davis to hold or  Kodija to run onto or out wide to Adomah or Snodgrass.  No attempt to play a bit of pass and move through the middle.  No wonder  Hogan is struggling to get chances.  I think our current run highlights just how poor this league  is rather than how good we have become.   Bruce may be able to grind his way out of this division again but you don't need to look far to see why he's never really succeeded at a higher level.
