(More) trouble at Bolton

  • Apparently they have paid the players wages so that’s half a team, plus there are rumours that at least a couple of triallists have signed up, including possibly Ched Evans.

    We’ll see tomorrow but I have the feeling that backed by a large following and the bounce from being sorted it will be a more competitive game than some seem to be expecting

  • They have five or so senior players available I believe.

    Magennis will not be one of those five. I don’t think this fixture will be the walkover that some people think it will be. (But naturally I hope we take advantage of their situation, score a hatful and start the goal scoring runs of a few of our forwards).

  • Magennis seems a popular lad amongst the Bolton bretheren!

  • They have 2 keepers one of who will surely have to play in another position, while i feel sorry for Bolton fans we can only beat what's in front of us as is it's not our fault Bolton have been living beyond their means,.

  • They've seem to have announced a new kit for at least tomorrow by a different company than the one that they had a contract with and they renamed the stadium for. No sign of takeover confirmation yet, a lot to unpick for someone at some stage.

    I think this is all a bluff. They will turn up with a squad of classy players all signed at the last minute and give us a right towsing!

    There best striker refused to get on the bus this afternoon, which begs the question who is paying for the bus?

    Maybe they'll bring a load of Galacticos and we'll stuff them anyway powered only by goodwill, cajun burgers and rebellion.

  • Has the deadline for registering players now passed?

    The kit they have announced for tomorrow is an off-the-shelf Hummel option, but has dark blue shorts. Surely a clash with the Wycombe shorts: https://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/2019/august/wanderers-to-wear-hummel-kit-for-wycombe-clash/

  • Shorts can clash - which is a bit stupid in my opinion - it's socks that can't.

  • Bolton turn up, well seven of them, with d blue shorts. Big Nathan refuses to lend them a change of colour set. EFL invoke the obscure rule 37.6 b ( sub clause XII) better known as ‘shirts v skins’ but in this case ‘shorts v commando’. Robs wife Missy demands all Wanderer plays do the same or the deal is off.

    Some unambiguous comments in the Bolton News - https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/17813000.bolton-striker-josh-magennis-refuses-travel-wycombe/ - suggest Josh Magennis was no Bolton supporter's idea of a key cog in the team. "Oh no. Where are we going to get no goals from now?" is one of the more amusing ones but fully representative of the others.

  • Rumours that the Bolton coach hasn't moved for over three hours because the players have only been paid for three months out of five.

  • Is it a mini bus?

  • Not only who is paying for the bus but where are they sleeping tonight? Will they try and do a runner from the Travel Lodge?

    Great chant; poor bastards.

  • Perhaps they are sleeping on the bus, the TVP will escort them to any park in and around Wycombe.
    They can throw their takeaways cartons on the grass and have a turn out in the bushes. And the good old WDC will get tax payers to foot the bill.

  • It's not so much a case of parking the bus so much as sleeping on the bus. Although I hope, in an attempt to avoid overnight parking costs, they don't actually park the bus on Adams Park.

  • Maybe I should have posted the following in this thread...

    Having been suffering with a growing curiosity about what Bolton Wanderers line-up might look like tomorrow, I have done some research (yes I am this sad) and am stupid enough to predict it will look something like this:

    4-4-2
    GK Remi Matthews 25

    RB Jason Lowe 27
    CB Jordan Boon 18
    CB Yoann Zouma 18 (Kurt's brother)
    LB Joe Muscatt 18 (possibly out of contract)

    RM Dennis Politic 19
    CM Eddie Brown 18
    CM Luke Murphy 29
    LM Erhun Oztumer 28

    FW Connor Hall 21 (born in Slough)
    FW Ronan Darcy 18

    Subs from:
    GK Matt Alexander
    RB Nathan Whalley
    LB Joe White
    CB Adam Senior
    CB Harry Brockbank (possibly out of contract)
    CB Liam Edwards
    CM Marcus Wood
    CM Sonny Graham
    RM Callum King-Harmes
    FW Finlay Lockett

  • Dennis Politic sounds like the sort of player to keep David Wheeler amused. Then again Marcus Wood sounds familiar?!

  • I'm told Brockbank Boon, Zouma, Edwards, Lockett is their defence.

    Assume Boon has been roped in as he is over here watching the Ashes

  • BBC reporting that only 3 senior players have travelled with Bolton ahead of tomorrow

  • The team coach was delayed leaving over a new dispute about monies owed.

    @Brownie said:

  • @LX1 Brockbank appears to be ahead of Boon in his development but his involvement depends on his contract situation.

  • Hi all. Getting ready for a long drive down to your place tomorrow. I have absolutely no idea what to expect from our lot. But I think the starting 11 someone mentioned a few posts back might not be too far from the truth (although I suspect we'll start with 1 up front). Also this Brockbank will probably start in a very makeshift back four.

    Being a Bolton supporter is a very odd thing to be right now.

    Be a lot of emotional northerners at your place tomorrow who genuinely didn't think we might see our team play again.

    In some ways - the result is irrelevant for me tomorrow. Just be so pleased to see 11 kids wearing the shirt and hopefully trying their hearts out.

    Anyway - I just wanted to say that Wycombe Wanderers have been a massive class act over the past couple of weeks and have made a lot of friends up at our place. The comms team have been brilliant with us and allowing us to buy tickets through your website was a great gesture.

    They've been a hand of friendship when we really needed it and we won't forget it. I certainly won't.

    Best of luck tomorrow and for the rest of the season!
