MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (h) sponsored by Notlob is Bolton backwards

[Dickie's Spear]

Really sad that Ilori has to miss out.

[CountryRoyal]

Personally think it’s a mistake playing McShane and also Kelly, but let’s see how it goes. Ilori has been our best player this season, very harsh to drop him

Front 3 should be interesting and Bod and Popa give us a clear plan b

+1

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Baldock and McNulty looking like a good pairing.

Bolton are seriously big and strong

[John Madejski's Wallet]

That looked a fukking pen.

No wonder players dive if staying on your feet gets you nowt

[Royal_jimmy]

We've been absolute rubbish apart from 2 chances. Bolton look very poor. Need to grind a win out in the 2nd half

[Snowflake Royal]

Well. We look a pretty makeshift side. Meite, McNulty and Baldock keep making the same runs or getting in each others space. Swift and Meyler are quite slow to play the forward ball to feet. McShane has looked quite ropey at times.

But we're organised and hardworking and there's obviously potential. We really should be 1-0 down from that breakaway, but equally Meite could have scored or won a penalty... slightly less good chance though.

Two poor teams but we look to have more about us to me. We will get better. Barrow would obviously make a difference. I like McNulty already and boy is Meyler sluggish.

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Balls. That was embarassingly easy

[Royal_jimmy]

Oh oxf*rd off

Had enough of the same shit

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Our midfield is utter garbage.

All 3 midfielders sitting really deep yet still they breeze through. Even when they've got the ball they lose it.

I'd be happy for swift and Kelly to just fukk off now.

[alfie9]

Nothing's changed. Lacking creativity going forward, switch off and concede an easy goal. When was the last time we won a game after going behind? Rotherham?

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Christ, Swift is atrocious

[DOYLERSAROYALER]

Christ, Swift is atrocious

+1.....hardly ever puts in a decent performance and plays like hes wearing lead boots ..if he ever left I would be more than happy!

[Mr Controversial]

The only player with any desire is Yak.

We are spectacularly sh1te....

Again.

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Changing the strikeforce and replacing a defensive mid......leaving swift and Kelly who have created fukk all.

Clueless fukking Stam clone

[Royal_jimmy]

We deserve to go down if we lose this. 3 games we didn't lose last year despite our incompetence. We drew all 3. Going to lose all 3 this year. Not looking great with Villa, Weds and Preston coming up. Reckon our first 7 could be winless.

[Millsy]

Just a question. Blackett anything to do with their goal?

[RoyalBlue]

So much for those who claimed you couldn't/shouldn't read anything into our shyte pre-season results and performances.

[Millsy]

Winning is so much better than losing. I don't know why we keep losing.

[alfie9]

This one is especially painful. All my optimism is gone

[Royal_jimmy]

I am going to have a party when Gourlay and the board all oxf*rd off
