The line up I would have gone with. Plus 3 strikers and 2 attacking midfielders on the bench!

Probably about the right team based on who's available.

The only question is Jedinak v Bjarnasson if they play shit house football.

Decent lineup. Correct call to drop Jedi though we might need him to shore things up towards the end. Provided we don't stink things up like Tuesday.

Well at least with that line-up we've given ourselves the best chance - it's exactly the one I'd choose and our best XI available currently against teams outside the Top 7/8. Hopefully the tactics are right and then it's over to the players to perform. They've got to step up today!

Post by: footyskillz on March 17, 2018, 05:04:57 PM
Just concerned with boltons bully boy tactics. Karl Henry the chief fouler among in their unchanged line up . Would have preferred Jedinak for this one and Bjarnason in weekend rather than other way round.

Also would have liked Lansbury for his more aggressive play than Hourihane.

Good luck James Bree though glad he playing, had no choice!

Feel Grealish and Adomoah Grabban Snodgrass will show their attacking qualities in this line up and let's not be surprised with a penalty.

Mr Robert Jones in charge and expecting a supporting performance from him. Think he's been selected especially!  only 12 matches but sent off 3 players. Hopefully gives out more cards 44 so far . Averages 3.6 a match.

Let's hopefully be ahead before they have 10 players! Can't see Bolton keeping them all on.

Little side note then if anyone wants a bet!!

Henry 9/4 anytime yellow

Bolton player sent off 8/1.

Flanagan sent off 20/1

Aston villa to take a  penalty 4/1.






Up the villa.

Bolton bruisers today.

They'll do this all game now they're in the lead if the ref allows it which he looks like he will.

Which is why I'm a bit surprised Jedinak isn't playing. Bolton will have been told to kick us.

Terrible first 15 mins but obviously the weather was just ouetageous. I couldn’t see the game concluding at that point

I don't think we have enough in us to get automatic promotion now and I worry about our confidence if we lose again today - some fans need a reality check as we aren't as good as we think we are and although the standard of refereeing is poor you just have to get on with things - I think we need to be looking at  strategy for the play offs right now

Good move until the final ball, nice by Jack but frustrating to see him almost in a CB position he'd gone back so far to get the ball.

A big problem here is that al lthe space is around th esides but because our wingers are both on the wrong side the quality of the crosses when we get to the line isn't good enough.  I'd switch them for the last 20.

Looks like the sort of game I feared up here, Bolton nick 1 from a set piece, spend the rest of the game with 10 men behind the ball and we just pass it sideways and into them.

We will at best get a 1-1 which in the long run won't be good enough.

Prepare for the play offs I'm afraid.
