Saturday 23rd October

[Bobbin']

Christ sake.

 

[TractorBoys]

1 defeat in 8, top scorers in the league; Fleetwood at home with all respect is a must win.

 

[Crewelad87]

Just when you think things can't get any worse. Wycombe away, literally the last team I want to be playing right now. Even when we're good we struggle vs teams like them. We don't stand a chance.

Wycombe 3-0 Crewe

 

[Janek_dd]

Apparently you have to touch the bottom to be able to bounce off it

 

[DearneValleyRover]

We will be welcoming a few of our ex players on Saturday who are all more capable than the ones we’ve replaced them with, oh joy

 

[WhiteRussian]

Us at home to Rotherham. 6th v 5th. I'm looking forward to this, it should be a very good game. Hoping for a win, expecting a draw but we should be up for it after the win at Wigan.

 

[Imp in Branston]

Away at Sheff Weds, even with over 3100 Imps attending, I cannot see anything other than an Owls victory, then closely followed by Wigan away........

 

[Mary MacDonald]

Can't see anything other than a Sunderland victory. They may tonk us 4-0 like they did to Crewe yesterday.

I’d bite your hand off for 4-0.

Jesus wept......where is the positivity on here......Bolton 3 Gillingham 1
Doyle 2 Sarcevic 1

You could be surprised mate. Don’t let our league position fool you, we have been largely poor this season.

 

[K-Win]

I'll add to the negativity. We're in disarray. 3-1 to Stanley. All three Accrington goals will be scored in a ten minute spell of mayhem and defensive ineptitude.

The bookies have us as favourites, which is insulting, frankly. Fill your boots if you see 2/1 Accrington.

It would be depressing if at the end of the season, you, us, and Doncaster all get relegated. To think that only 3 years ago we were all in the playoffs fighting to get promoted to the Championship...

 

[Luke Imp]

Not full of confidence ahead of Saturday.

Walsh was taken off on Tuesday injured after one and a half games, although whether it was correct to playing him for the second time in quick succession after four months out is debatable. Hopefully Poole back at RB, he's been very good so far this season.

We need to keep trying to work out how to play without a striker because we can't quite do it at the minute. Not particularly aided by a questionable midfield at the minute. Technically they're fairly sound albeit play too many safe balls, but McGrandles aside, no physicality or bite about it either.

I think we're the only EFL side yet to keep a clean sheet so far this season.

Wycombe 3-0 Crewe

surely at least Kashket has to score?

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Away at free scoring Morecambe. We have had the most shots in the league. Sets up a 0-0.
Will be a tough game, and Morecambe have a real threat we may struggle with. That said we have a few of our own, Suspect he’ll play Hardie and Jephcott up front, and bring Garrick and probably Mayor on after 65-70 mins, not a sight many tiring defenders would be happy with.

 

[CTFCfan99]

Doncaster away for us. We've got to be confident after two good wins in a week although we'll again be without Will Boyle who's out for another month or so, which is a blow.

Looking forward to watching Dan Crowley again, based on the last two games I'm at a loss as to how he's not playing at a higher level.

Playing some team from the backwaters of greater Manchester, no doubt Evatt has got them fired up for a potential giant killing.

Go on i will Bite.......You only put a line down but everything you put was incorrect.
Tomorrow you are going into Gods country Lancashire...Bolton beating Gillingham as never and will never be a giant killing.

Will be interesting to see how we go. 2 pretty shocking performances last 2 games after playing really well before that and now lost our captain today… out of nowhere. I have no idea what to expect

I’m very confident you guys will win, we have a complete lack of depth, so if plan A doesn’t work there’s nothing else left.

 

[masi51]

Will be stronger than midweek Santos back and talk of John being fit.
Sheehan obvious choice for Sarcevic.
With Jones being out longish term Evatt may go back to 3 Centre halfs.....Will be a interesting line up thats for sure

I want Thomason to get a run. We aren’t going up this season and we shouldn’t go down… would be a great opportunity to give him a run of games to see if he can hack it.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

Interesting that our game at Bolton today is all ticket with no pay on the day.
Lot of speculation on our forums that it is as a result of a request from Gillingham.
Any news on this from your end Bolton fans?

 

[Bartonyellow]

Oxford today at home. I’m sure both teams are thinking this is a tough game.
Both coming off the back of a good midweek win. Both close to the play offs.
There will be goals - I’m going for 2-2 and see if Tom O’Connor can score 3 games running straight from a corner….

Dont do pay on the day........have not all season
Think its a Covid thing nothing more

 

[TractorBoys]

That's a poor first half by anyone's standards. Fleetwood look capable in attacking areas until the final finish. Neither keeper has had to make a save. I expect us to be better in the second half.

 

[CTFCfan99]

We're 3-0 down yet arguably should be winning with the chances we've had. Missed about 4 sitters and a penalty. Shocking defensively though.

 

[stevowanderer]

Something is definitely wrong behind the scenes with us. The players body language is shocking.

We keep gifting them possession in dangerous areas. If they were a good side we’d have been done 5/6 today. We look like the team of the first half of last season again. You can have bad performances and get away with it if you have a solid defensive base but the way we set up leaves Santos so exposed. He can’t do it on his own. We need to go back to basics… stick 2 holding mids in front of the back 4 and go from there.
