Boltons biggest home match of the season v Fleetwood *snigger*

[codaplenty]

Yes you've guessed it, there playing Fleetwood Town Football Club, I'll bet old Nat Lofthouse will be turning in his grave. If somebody had said as little as 5 years go this match would be taking place they would have carted you off to the funny farm -but thats what makes football so fantastic

On to the nitty gritty and Fleetwood will be going into this match undefeated and confidence high, and we'll need it. Good signs from our mid week game and we can come away with a fighting draw 1-1

Well, this will be a reality check to Bolton fans who grew up on top 6 premier league finishes and became accustomed to seeing 4000 United, Liverpool, Everton, City, Arsenal, Spurs etc fans in the away end at the Macron. Then at 3pm tomorrow they will look up and see 150 Fleetwood fans packed into the 2 tiered away end at the Macron , this being a localish game as well .

Another mile stone of sorts for Fleetwood, normally a shopping trip now a footy match.
Bolton joining a growing list of stellar ouftis who will have to suffer the agony of a game against a non league club for 3 points.
We will be underdogs of course but good signs this season and if we can get enough ball have very quick players in attack, I feel decent players, defending is another issue altogether.
We wont sit back though, and will definately have a pop at Bolton come what may.
Might take more than 150 maybe 300, absolutely massive!

You go shopping in Bolton from Fleetwood? Didn't know Fleetwood was that bad..

Some of us Bolton fans remember going to Darlington on a Tuesday night in 1987, so playing Fleetwood isn't that much of a shock to some of us. Another good test for us in this division, hopefully we are slowly building on something

Heres a blast from the past, the first time I ever saw Manchester United ( try not to throw up ! ) was in 1958/9 just after Munich. Travelled by train direct from Fleetwood, with a rattle and saw Bolton win 3-0. I am sure you will know that Bolton have one of the best records against United of almost any other club !

I remember when the 'dream' was play at Horwich stadium in the Lancashire junior cup final. Think we'll get something out of this game so going to predict a draw

 

[Chris]

Despite taking the lead we didn't turn up for the second half and lost 2-1

 

[codaplenty]

Our first half display was as good as any I've seen in the last 3/4 years. We took the game to Bolton and deservedly lead at half time
As so often happens the second half was a different affair and we not only lost our way but the match ! Our goalie is proving his worth with some more excellent saves and in injury time Victor missed a sitter which would'nt have been totally undeserved. Plenty of positives to take from this and Bolton maintain their 100% record -good luck to them in their quest for an immediate return to the Championship

Impressed with your guys today, very solid all around and don't see you being in any relegation battle if you can keep that performance up

 

[Parchpea]

We gave it a good go and perhaps a bit unlucky not to at least draw.

Despite 4 straight wins Bolton will need to improve on this to go up immediately and most likely will. Felt like they assumed just turning up would be enough first half.

From my point of view its a big improvement on last season even in defeat and I think we have a good manager, thats key for us really in terms of closing the gap in resources.

Nah, this team just isn't quite clicking as yet, winning when not playing well is encouraging, and this team will only get better. We are still trying to figure out how to play at the moment
