wendyredredrobin Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Tonight on SkySports. Hoping Bolton can take some points from W Brom tonight to stop the gap increasing, but also hoping for a hard game so that they will be tired for Friday night and maybe a couple of injuries and suspensions thrown in for good luck. 8pm KO for anyone planning to tune in. Wouldn't normally have watched this one, but having Bolton twice in 2 weeks and WBA close to us at the top makes it a bit more interesting. Heart says 2-0 to Bolton but my head says 1-0 to West Brom. A draw would be reasonable though under the circumstances. Aaaaagh, it's looking like the start of a matchday thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 A win for Bolton might help City. Being on TV, the City players can observe their forthcoming opponents without being unethical. By playing tonight, Bolton have four days of rest before playing City whose players will have had two days extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Realistically, the best we can hope for from our POV is a draw in this one. That's less than likely too. More likely a comfortable West Brom win- there will be protests at the ground too, bound to help WBA even more. Game that takes a bit out of them either way would be good though- we don't want a replay after Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 We're actually only 3 points behind WBA albeit their game in hand is tonight. Quite the resurgence and turnaround! More teams we can drag into the scrap, the better tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolton 1 - WBA 2 Why would you want a WBA win - we are 3 points behind them. Best all round is narrow Bolton win with them ending game with a sending off or two...

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Tennis balls on the pitch, loads of Anderson Out banners. This could be worth a watch! Oh and GON starting for Bolton and Leko on the bench for Baggies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally a Bolton win, narrow- red card or 2 and of course a huge physical and mental effort to hold on perhaps with 10 men late on- will knacker them further. @Slippin cider Shows how things can change. At 5pm or so Boxing Day they were a full 13 pts ahead of us! Now just imagine had we beat Wolves a year or so ago when they were down to 10..would have put the skids under them IMO, doubt would have crept in etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Shambolic defending even if it was just offside. Bolton not come back to win after going down a goal the last 45 times - switch it off now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been impressed with him on the last couple of times he’s played at AG but he plays in a sort of deep lying role on the right wing. I couldn’t see him being effective in a central striking role. So it’s a ‘no’ from me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he gets the ball tends to stick for sure. Last season he was superb for them against us, cannot see it mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 How the hell didn’t the linesman flag for handball . Definite pen. I swear most of them don’t help the refs as much as they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Poor so far, WBA looking comfortable at 1-0 up and denied a stonewall penalty too. Ameobi and Donaldson looking useful if they can get the ball in decent positions. GON having decent involvement too. Fancy Brom to get another goal or two 2nd half. Hope Bolton can get one back tho.

Xspence Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 West Brom look a lot less fluid without Barnes (although tough to look great against Bolton!). Massive loss for them though. Although the fact they can just loan in former fantasy premier league favourite holgate (of course added to likes of Gayle and not having to sell Rodrigues) does show the budget difference we are fighting against near the top.

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I honestly am surprised- but I suppose if they have managed their finances acceptably then it's inevitable- that they still have: Dawson, Gibbs, , Phillips Rodriguez and of course Gayle swap for Rondon. To say nothing of the loanees and some other reasonable squad players i.e. Hegazi. Would have thought clubs here and in Europe may have had a serious look at, then purchased some of these at least.
