Match Thread: Bolton Wanderers v Port Vale

[Fosse69]

As tough as they get this year are the Trotters, couple of 5s against MKD and Posh. Only a point against Plymouth at home and losses at Derby  and Wycombe otherwise 3 points being added to their PO spot this year. Would expect them to have sealed a Wembley trip with a win at Accrington before Saturday. What can we expect? Not a 6-3 win unless we find some shooting boots at least to resolve the problems of the final third, how about a Politic hat-trick back on his old stamping ground? Sweet Dreams.

I have written this one off. Pre Xmas I'd fancy us to compete anywhere as we proved with the Derby and Argyle victories but with Bolton's pace and power up top we are likely to get heavily beaten with the defence we currently have and general form.

I hope I am wrong and a positive omen is we won 6-3 when we lost 5 in a row and they'd won 4 on the spin.

I would like to us maybe use this "Free hit" to try something different formation wise and just see if something else works.

Always expect the unexpected with the Vale.Bolton 1-2 Vale.

Sorry but how we are playing at the mo a real spanking! 

[Andy Proctor]

Based on the fact our keepers don't save shots wether stone or Stevens is in goal, if Bolton have 6 or 7 shots on target against us then we will be condeding 5 goals at least.

We are going to get tonked sadly 

[Coyney Valiant]

Not looking forward to this one at least it’s not far to travel does anybody know how many tickets we’ve sold to date 

[valiant_593]

Not looking forward to it. These will have many more shots than sides we’ve played recently and our keepers won’t keep them out. I think it will be 3/4-0 

[Warren]

The last game I went to at Bolton we were hopeless and lost 4-0. Can't go to this one. But I will be mightily fed up if it's Bolton 1 PV 0 after 5 mins. That's the point really, the team needs to find resilience and play well on the counter attack. 

Stone has to take his chance. Big opportunity for him.

Vale fans travelling by train to bolton should note trains out of mcr. Victoria have a rail replacement coach to salford crescent. Better catching the train out of either mcr. Picadilly, oxford road or deansgate.

I've got this overwhelming feeling that we might surprise a few here and maybe, just maybe we'll lose this one.

Jokes aside, 1-1.

You never know. They may have their minds on a Trot to Wembley in the FLT.

Play offs to the Championship or a one off Pizza pot autoglass trophy. 

I know what my money is on.

Watched Accrington hold out until the 82nd minute and over an hour with 10 men so the trotters ain’t no world beaters so we got a chance and if we do get thumped let’s not have well they’ve got a much bigger budget crap from the happy clappers
