Bolton (A) match thread - 20th April

[ollyandpatch]

The day we get relegated.

[Houston Valiant]

It will be the last big stadium we’ll see for a good few years, I’d say. The appropriately named Toughsheet Stadium.

That's made me chuckle. 

Tough rhymes with hit .

Not necessarily who's to say they won't win .

Bolton will be resting players for play offs and rightly so  but will DM be brave enough go for it or is going just say to them defend all game when it's being proven over 44 games defence is not our strong point .

After other  night I'd like see a bit of experimentation I'd like see Uche start up front with Mighten .

I've just got this weird feeling it could work. 

We have won 6_3 here before so I wouldn't completely dismiss us and last season we were the better side throughout I believe even though we lost .

It's wishful thinking but eventually we will score a goal away eventually and when one goes in hopefully like buses another one follows 

UTV 

Bet sales are still good .

If your another side in league one you would surely want us stay up over Burton /Cheltenham as we bring far more fans than them too sides unfortunately football is not decided by how many supporters   you take away .

If your Shrewsbury we sell out there 

If Burton we sell plenty there in fact if you go through every away game the followings have being real good I mean we took 764 to Northampton 800 odd to Reading first time etc .

The fans have being brilliant they deserve better .

Will they get better who knows but I hope we take it too last game so we need some results go for us .

The last thing I want as away in London over Fri/sat is tune in and see that Vale are relegated ..

There's everything gain and nothing lose .

When you look back we shouldn't have lost either of last 2 home games .

I'm holding onto if Shrewsbury can score twice so can we as there much ado about nothing

Probably due to a history of feisty occasions over the years , Bolton are Probably my 91st favourite league team with only Lard beneath them. Even dislike them more than The Poundland mob. 

Can't think of a worse team to put the nail in the coffin. 

5-0.

I think we will still have a sniff potentially as Reading should beat Burton and Lincoln Cheltenham all be it party rather have it over and done with!

I hope we just go there and have a go, nothing to lose now and sitting back for a 3-0 defeat is pointless at this stage. Take the game to them, they are all but out the race now for auto's so may rest a few touch and go players fitness wise for the Play Offs.

Same here. Still remember the Siege of the Foaming Quart. That plus their big time Charlie attitude that they still have. Hope they fail in the play offs.

Even resting players they will have ninty year old Cameron Jerome who played for Stoke in the 2000,s. Back him for a hat trick.

Jeez, that's the most wishful thinking I've seen on here in a long time. 

Erm, Bolton are only three points behind Derby, who are in the automatic spot. 

With that sort of gap there's frankly more chance of a Ryan Loft hat-trick than of Bolton resting players for the play-offs...

i just want it over, but i reckon we win this then lose at home to Cambridge just for sh***  and giggles. 🙃

What’s our record negative goal difference?

We had minus 32 in 1983/4 which also included a 7-0 defeat to Burnley. 

I bet that's not the record though. 

Some things never change. Walsall did the double over us.

Guaranteed a 4th place.

I was going to point the three point fact out Rob... But you beat me to it!

Bolton 3 pts less than Derby and inferior GD. Derby to visit Cambridge and home to Carlisle. 1 win required.

They do have a slight chance but Derby have Cambridge A, Carlisle H so it's unlikely and they rested a few risk players Tuesday who had knocks "Looking at the bigger picture" like Santos.

I think it's crucial Vale get the first goal to have any chance. Otherwise, should Bolton score first early, expect a landslide.
