Official Match Thread Bolton V Southend United

Or they didn't like the host.

Frankly I think players are a lot more likely to be put off by our embarrassingly outdated stadium and facilities than a manager who won promotion to the Premiership on a relatively small budget.

Sky Sports News have just been talking about us, Tony Cottee said he was talking to Brown near the end of the last season when the Bolton rumours were going round and said he was surprised when Brown told him he wanted to stay at Southend.

They're also talking about how rubbish the Checkatrade Trophy is.

Still pouring with rain in Bolton............ could be a bit of a lottery....

Yes it's a weak bench, not sure what people expect when 6 players are out injured.

Please, no more injuries, there doesnt look like many game changers on our bench.

On the contrary despite the continuous wingeing on this forum it shows some depth. Add the six back in and we would have a good team and bench.

Even he forgot to bring his boots....only player signed on the deadline not even fit to play !!....

Because only one answered the party invites. Its horrible when that happens.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Still, on the plus side ...Come on you Shrimpers :happy::happy: :happy:

Have to disagree. The point is we don't have the injured players available at this moment and that bench shows just how important it is that they get back fit asap. Our squad would show "some depth" if we still had a few strong players on the bench despite the injuries. The fact is we don't, although I'd probably be playing Sokolik over Thompson.

CP not doing a live blog due to there being no internet connection, likely to affect Blues Player? :sad:

Edit: Does seem to be working. Fingers crossed it stays that way!
