I'm certainly not confident - Bolton are a good side & our record in big, defining games is not good. By contrast your recent point away at Barnsley suggests a team that are capable of getting those crucial results at the business end. From our perspective, its imperative we don't lose but the prize of a 4 point gap if we do win is massive & would I believe set us up for a top 2 finish.  We've improved recently since we've finally put suitable players for a 3-4-3 on the park and new signings Gayle & Adams have given us an added dimension - my hope is that improvement continues with a signature performance against your boys.

I do hope you go up at the end of the season, just not at our expense. Like Bolton as a club, good support/history & you've been through the mill in recent years - got a lot of time for your manager too.

Thanks for reply mate! Hmm, bar our Plymouth final win at Wembley us in big games have also decided to bottle it, Recently vs Wigan and Blackpool for the fans especially was huge and we got nothing. If you win this yeah that sets you right up...We needed that win last night going in to Saturday because us fans been on their backs heavy from recently. 

Yep, I'd take us both going up with our clubs status'. Would laugh if Pompey bottle it, they have a really tough run in.

Think I came here the last time we played! This is a mad run in, we play each other, we both play Pompey, Pompey have a really tough run in. Imagine they bottle it and us two finish 1st and 2nd?

This should be a tight game i assume both teams scared to lose, with our 5-0 last night we have to be confident, I'm going 1-1 as a Bolton fan but ill be praying for a win.

You all confident? 

Nope Dwarfs aren't coming.

Connor Bradley at RWB and our new lad Williams at LWB are a bit of a handful, Trafford in net is cracking keeper. 

Midfield now is looking well with Dempsey, Morley and Lee.

Dion and Bod upfront was working well last couple of games but as mentioned  Bod out for rest of the season from last week so our new lad on loan from Southampton will probably replace him.

Think the last goal Kachunga scored was a 95th minute winner for Huddesfield against us a few years back so I’m hoping lightening don’t strike twice ?

Wouldn't worry mate... he doesn't score, hes alright as work horse.

Squad of 6 players, haha! been there...

Sorry lads didn't pop on last night was to busy waiting for our new signing, a scum united lad who played when we dicked them 4-0 in Papa Johns, il give the lad a chance but uhh need fire power with one of our front lads injured last week and out for the season!

Good to see your a decent lot thought i might of got bare abuse for just being here. 'Should see how we treat each other' haha!

I think we would/could have sold more, f*** Leeds ?

Anyway... Getting close to game time now any more convos we can fit in?

Re attendance chat, well I think we're (rightly) proud of our attendances this year (home and away) so there is a lot of focus on that as despite really tough economic times and recent club traumas our support has been great. The fans backing has gone a long way to take the pressure off our new owner (a local hero) as the fans have turned up in regular big numbers despite the fact that we could barely field a team halfway through the summer so better than expected ST sales against that backdrop were a real boost for the club. Also, personally I just love seeing those headlines that favourably compare crowds in this division to those much higher in the leagues.

Totally get the scoreline sentiment. At your place I just thought, lets at least not lose this and just keep fingers crossed that we go one better. I get that it's a chance to make ground on competitors but before a ball was kicked I'd have take that draw all day long.

As for who to watch well it's been one of the pleasing things I reckon, we've had goals shared out quite a bit. McGoldrick has been outstanding but has had the odd niggle and illness and I think we've been trying to use him sparingly. He's looked different level at times though. I'd expect him to start on Sat. Mendez-Laing down the flank is a real handful if he's on it. Despite conceding 2 last week we've been tight at the back with Cashin really starring but he'd had a slight niggle but should hopefully likewise be good to go on Sat.

Scoreline ? Toughie.. hoping we can nick this one, possibly by the odd goal (2-1?) but a draw would not surprise me as you lot are in really good form too.

Cheers for the in depth mate! Yeah well if you saw, probably did, we was in the exact same situation a couple of seasons ago where we had a team playing with like the average age of 19? We was financially crippled and the players went on 'strike' rightly or wrongly it hurt us. We've come through it looking alright now! New owners haven't got he money but are backing IE as well as they can. 

Yeah McGoldrick been around a while now and expect him to give us a threat, we shall see who turns up on form i guess...

Yeah both two inform teams so regardless should be a belter.

I’m working, don’t get to many these days, but made it to yours, think we were ok with 0-0. I’m about half way between Derby and Bolton, expecting a great game. 

Yeah tough when your working 100%!

Should be a cracker.

Afternoon Question.

The attendance banter is typical of most of our threads…… off on a tangent, eventually it’ll return to the game itself honestly. Because you’ve sold out it’s created an extra buzz, as you know, many teams in this division don’t have big followings. 
We have a thread for predictions, I abstained this year as I always had us down for a W ?‍♂️
I’m not divulging our WMDs you’ll have to wait and see. Enjoy the game (till KO) ?

To be fair, we do get a bit giddy when clubs like yourself come and we get that boost of a buzz, so lets hope its bouncing!

Should be a belter, going 2-1 #BWFC but wont cry at the draw!

Afternoon gents, here from the other side (although not for a spat).
First wanted to know why its purely attendance banter, is that just something you always concentrate on?

Second, genuine scorelines/predications? Who should we be wary of?

I'm desperate for the win as you have the game in hand but i don't think we can cry with a draw!
