Pepe the Horseman Wtf has happened to Bolton? Best team we played last season.

Don't know. They don't seem to have lost too many of their regulars from last season and made signings.

Their forum seems to suggest they got found out towards the end of last season. I had a look at they've won eight of their last twenty-four league games (9 of 27 including the play-offs); only six (or eight, with play-offs) defeats in that time though - a lot of draws.

They only lost three league games at home last season, plus the play-off game, and are at two already this season.

One of those all fur coat and no knickers teams.

When it's going well they're all hints of sexy cleavage going forwards, but if you lift the hem and expose their defence, they're wide open.

I think that means they like you. :wink:

Wrexham look terrible. I can't stand Birmingham, or their odious fans.

I only really saw the first 20 minutes of the second half but Birmingham should have had 5 in that spell rather than just the 2 they did get. Wrexham kept giving the ball away in their own half and then resorted to hacking.

I didn't realise Lyndon Dykes played for Birmingham now. Is there no FFP any more?

They've been a Jude Bellingham away from destroying FFP for the past 5 years. I reckon they need back to back promotions to avoid falling foul of it because spending £30m in the summer summer isn't really sustainable in the Championship, let alone League 1.

Is it 3 times they broke the League 1 transfer record this summer?

As someone said before we played Brum first game of the season, that was a good time to play them; I can't see anyone other than them winning L1.

Probably the biggest threat to 106 this season.
