While you'd expect us to win, Lennon knows how to set up his teams against those that dominate possession.

 

Their result at Liverpool suggests this won't be a walk in the park. It could be a frustrating afternoon, but without stating the obvious it's getting the stage of the season where we can't afford to slip up - especially at home.

 

With Bournemouth - and the referee - at Wigan and Boro playing at home to Charlton, I'm not confident of our rivals slipping up.

Steve will know how to set up against a team who played a mid week cup game.

I think Bolton will go for the win against Liverpool so this should serve us well in the 2nd half.

 

Think we've got to go for the same team that started against Cardiff.

 

Prediction 3-1

Buxton was back on the pitch after the game unaided to applaud the fans.

 

He still had a limp but the fact he was able to walk half the width of the pitch and back by himself with relative comfort suggests it isn't too serious.

 

It was probably just a precautionary sub, he did come back on after he went off with the physio albeit only for about a minute.

Grant; Christie, Shotton, Keogh, Forsyth; Mascarell, Hughes, Bryson; Ward, Ince, Martin 

Roos, Albentosa, Warnock, Thorne, Hendrick, Lingard, Bent 

 

I fancy Bryson to get a start, following Hendrick's average spell - Albentosa may not be ready and with Thorne playing 70 minutes then perhaps he could be put on the bench if needed for 20-30 minutes. 

 

Dawkins' personal problems could see him drop from the squad completely.

Ticket booked for myself and youngest son (Chelsea fan). Don't get to many games unfortunately as we live down in Aylesbury but eldest son is at Derby University and we're visiting him this weekend.

Booked into the Holiday Inn at PP so nice and near the ground, my wife is shopping Saturday afternoon so result all round!

Can't wait - COYR!!!

Barry bannen just signed for Bolton.

 

He'll get a clap from me. 

 

We've come a long way in a short time - it's only 5 or 6 years since he was turning out for us and doing a damned sight better than most of the dead wood still lingering post-BD/Jewell.

The only changes I can see Stevie make this saturday are, Bucko if his injury keeps him from training all week and again like most people say Dawkins if his personal issues are still affecting him. I didn't think he played too badly against cardiff tbh, he kept the ball well like he always does, and created a good chance with a cross right across the face of goal. He may have even scored if the defender hadn't put it in his own net before the ball looked like it was heading towards him.

 

Anyway here is what I think the team will be:

 

Grant

Christie

Shotton

Keogh

Forsyth

Mascarell

Hughes

Hendrick

Ward

Martin

Ince/Dawkins

 

Bench:

Roos, Warnock, Albentosa, Bryson, Lingard, Dawkins / Ince, Bent

I'd go with this.

 

Bryson, Bent and Lingard to appear as second half subs.
