Septic Peg Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 An eventful week. A cold January monday began with the FA Cup draw. Many wanted a PL team again, many wanted Accrington or Barnet. We got....... Bolton. Yep, the same game we play today will be mirrored on a Friday in a few weeks time. But this week hasn't been without scandal for our opposition today... Most tree huggers normally throw their organic wigs at the possibility of a forest being felled. Anyone remember Spider and Emily from Corrie? Clambering up a bloody gert tree whilst overweight builders stood below beside their JCBs and munched bacon sarnies and called the rozzers. But not Dale Vince. Mr Eco threw a right paddy earlier when it conspired that Bolton didn't pay FGR's on loan player for the last four months. Threatening court action, Mr Vince is taking a leaf out of ex Rovers chair Mr Higgs and will now probably meet Bolton chair Ken Anderson over a board table with a bunch of lawyers and a judge. Bolton truly look like they are in the shit. But I have to applaud Dale Vince once more. Upping the level of shithousing, FGR started selling these... The fundraising T-shirts refer to Ken Anderson, whose consortium took control of Bolton in 2016 Raising money for the Bolton supporters trust, Bolton fans also intend to make the 300 mile round journey and accept the free pint offered by Vince to Bolton fans at FGR's home game v Bury next week. Expect some sad faces today in the Atyeo. They want it over and done with. They've had enough of the BS and corporate bollocks. I can't blame them. Sorry about this unimaginative thread today. I'm unwell. What I thought was a bad hangover from New Years has actually been diagnosed as severe tonsillitis and mononucleosis aka glandular fever. So I'm off to cough my guts up and take a boat load of antibiotics. City to win 2-0. COYRs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Maybe not as confident as some people, Bolton could be a bit of a wounded animal - would be happy with 1-0 or 2-0 if it’s comfortable enough. Early goal for us key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Wondering if Diony Mk2 will start or come on for the last 20 minutes. Bolton will presumably pack the box and be difficult to beat. However if we can get an early goal the floodgates could open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishRed Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Early goal crucial. The longer the game goes on at 0-0 the more edgy it will become. As we all know football pays no attention to the normal rules of life - Bolton have had a dreadful week and the bad news would appear to not be over yet, that does not mean that their players won't put in a shift. Worth remembering that there is a strong possibility their players will be looking at this as a 'shop window' for themselves, probably a few scouts there today looking for potential bargains in the January sales. As a sideshow it could be interesting if Mr Anderson does turn up today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Any win to keep the run going. Suspect Bolton will be tougher than many are expecting and could frustrate leading to an attritional game. If the crowd gets a bit frustrated could make for a tense afternoon. Early goal needed.

Baldyman Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 All about Bolton for me today ! If they puff their chests out and play for their own personal pride it could be a frustrating afternoon as we know that we struggle against sides who dig in and scrap ! Alternatively if they have “ the Glums” after all the crap they’ve had flung at the club , it’ll be a serious spanking again ! We’ll know which within the first 20 mins I think .

Red Army 87 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 With the exception of the hull game Bolton have proved a difficult team to play against for some of the top sides in this league over the past 5-6 weeks.

ClevedonRed2 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hi all, Can no longer attend the match today, so got a couple spare tickets that I'll be happy to sell for well below face value. They are in the Dolman Stand, row 40, block E31, seats 1 and 2. I'm based in Clevedon, but could drop them off to neighbouring villages. Cheers!

DT The Optimist Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Just like Rotherham. Loads possession chances at a premium with FD on his own but the unknown impact of the ‘Kasey ‘ factor.

Offside Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 I have high hopes that we'll win comfortably, which is probably optimistic seeing as we often struggle to create chances at home (even against 9-man Rotherham). My prediction, then, is a 1-0 win to City in a scrappy game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
