Any Bolton players you want lads 😂😂

The forum equivalent of ‘I have a girlfriend but she doesn’t go to this school and you won’t know her’.

If I’m Clowes then I would seriously look at doing a double deal with Palace for Rak-Saki and Ebiowei. 
When you consider what players are usually highly values from Championship clubs they’re typically young players signed from Premier League clubs who had too many bodies in their way to properly progress. We saw first hand the potential/ability in Ebiowei and Rak-Saki did really well in League One. Obviously their values at Palace could be daft, we don’t know, but they’re the type that I would hope we view as ‘asset building’ signings. 
Marc Leonard & Andrew Moran are two from Brighton in a similar boat, both had loan spells out this season (and last). None of us know the level of spending, but these are the types of players that have shown potential but aren’t quite at the standard required at their current teams yet. There are plenty in League One who tick that box, although the recruitment staff need to pick the right ones. Even Forest have Aguilera who showed a high ceiling but poor consistency while at Bristol. These are the types that we need to work with and get a tune out of, IMO. Harvey Vale is another. 

No idea if Palace would let him go, but that Rak-Sakyi looks to be good friends with Blackett-Taylor (probably from their time at Charlton together) so maybe we could get him on loan.
He did really well at Charlton and has played a few times for Palace this year but I doubt he will get a look in there if they keep Eze and Olise.

Brown scores the winning penalty in the shoot out

I saw on Barkhuizen’s instagram story his wife posted something about the celebrations continuing and that she’s proud of him…new deal? 

No not at all. For anyone interested below is the price increase vs Phase 1.

I would go for the Chris Martin sending iff against Burnley which cost us automatic promotion, and effectively triggered our demise.
But running it a very, very close second was Middlesbrough away in the relegation season during the war with the efl.
Crook elbowed Beilik in the face which didn’t even warrant a free kick when it should have been a red card, as was his scything down Max Bird. He got away with 2 yellow card offences as well, so was still on the pitch in time added on at the end of the first half to score from an offside position.
In terms of justice it tops the lot by miles, but the Burnley injustice cost us more.

Attwell all day. Redeemed himself a tad recently though.

Atwell v Forest. Addison’s header. Awful decision.
Agree about Martin at Burnley too. Should’ve had a penalty but was booked for diving. Sent off later for 2 bookings. Pure rage as the ref walked past Derby fans at half time. Bobby Madley had a shocker.

Yet believe it or not Dobbin had more goal contributions than both Waghorn and Washington combined last season. 

We cannot let Wildsmith go.
I didn’t realise he was even slightly unpopular - I’ve always liked him.
I only have to think back to Roos and all the flapping he used to do…used to give me nightmares.
We could do a lot lot worse.

I have a feeling that Bolton will absolutely walk the semi’s against Barnsley, head in to the final thinking it’s theirs in the bag and then lose to Peterborough at Wembley. 

I’d probably agree with that. Looking forward to this. How relaxed are we all watching Play Offs. Yeah baby yeah!

A think a few things to think about here. 
1. I’d take those estimates there with a pinch of salt. That estimate puts Blackburn players on less than £6k a week on average. (25 players) Not having it. 
2. Our wage bill has been widely reported but that figure, someone correct me if I’m wrong, is the entire clubs wage bill. Not just playing staff. There is no way our average players wage is £13.5k a week. 

 

Go on Henry, call it what it is 
 

I’m sure it’s only a 4 goal swing required.
Bolton still have a slim chance…if for some bizarre reason Carlisle were to score first and Bolton score first against Peterborough, that would only need another two goals in their favour.
Peterborough will more than likely be resting players so stranger things have happened. 

Whatever we have sold, apparently we have 11000 on the waiting list willing to pay over £800 for one.

Just got home. Story of our season tbh. Didn't play that well but somehow still came out with the three points and the title.
 
Appreciate the kind posts from the posters here. Bolton drew again so hopefully you guys will be joining us next season. You deserve it. 

Thank you for the gracious comments.  I'm a bit *ahem* tired and emotional - it's been a relatively long wait for us to get back in to the second tier.  I'm rooting for you to get over the line and other results this evening appear to have been in your favour.  Good luck and raising a glass to B4.
