Indeed. Still the weaker 2 out of our 4 options though. 

Cant disagree with that, but best we have available right now, two academy graduates nice to have at least , think its good for Bragg to get another game so soon , put the skates game behind him 

[Baird of the land]

Only real surprise is left back. Wonder how many minutes jander is allowed by medical staff as that cm is very weak.

I disagree - it's the obvious call, and what most people expected.

It is the same central midfield that saw the team score 3 goals in the 2nd half in the 4-1 win vs Bristol City and saw the team score 4 goals in the 2nd half in the 5-1 win vs Millwall.

Were you concerned about the Bragg/Ward-Prowse partnership at full-time for those two games?

He really does need to have a good game today I feel. 

[Patches O Houlihan]

Good results for us in the early games:

Millwall 2 : 2 Lincoln
Whining Losers 2 : 2 Cardiff
Watford 2 : 0 Charlton

Both Cardiff and Lincoln led and ended up with 10 men

JWP killed Baird's cat or something so he had an axe to grind.

Yes was looking better at HT, but dropping points at home is a bonus.

[Disco Stu]

Been stuck on the M27 for the last hour. Think I'm missing this one 😔

And also a warning for us today that no game is a walkover 

[richardc]

So Bragg gets  a yellow after 15 mins - what do you do?

Sub him at halftime for Jander.

[Edmonton Saint]

Anyone else half expecting Bazanu to have the game of his life today ?

Bloody hell, first league meeting since 2005...don't remember playing them in the cup so guess it's first meeting since then overall?

[Edmonton Saint]

What a miss by Leo

[Saint_clark]

Scienza should have scored. FFS just get shots on target today, don't let Bazunu have an easy one.

[Eire Saint]

Has to score that

[Suhari]

G'afernoon.

Leo has to score there. Great move.

[Patches O Houlihan]

…and that’s why Scienza wasn’t bought by a PL team in the summer. That’s two in a week he should have finished 

[HKsaint]

Any stream?

Good to see us not hesitating to shoot on sight against Baz.

[Saint_clark]

Fellows atrocious so far. Get the ball and run lad that's what you're good at, don't try to thread balls through the eye of a needle.

[Saint_clark]

Welington got drawn inside there, really poor awareness. 

[sockeye]

Sleepy start again today

[Tom57]

Both fellows and Scienza seem to be playing on the left

Yeah, Azaz pulling out on the far right. Interesting tactic. Bolton playing a very high line with 5 at the back so my guess is we're trying to overload with pace down one side.

Its an odd set up, wonder what the thinking is by TE

[Saint_clark]

I think it's actually more of a 4-4-2 with Scienza playing up front alongside Larin.

[Saint Scott]

Why is tonda fucking about with the formation. Just play 4-2-3-1 and we will win

Yeah, it’s not really working - they look like strangers.

It also means on the other side Azaz looks like he's simultaneously trying to play as a 10 and a right midfielder 

[HKsaint]

Shoot on target = goal! Come on 

[BotleySaint]

Disjointed petformance so far. Bolton having a lot of the ball. We seem slow to close down.

Fawanews with a v p n

Do you set the v p n to any particular country or doesn’t it matter?

[obelisk]

This lineo loves playing with his flag.

[tdmickey3]

Poor stuff so far

I'm using Firefox free build in VPN and can't get it to load on Fawanews sadly

I'm using Ireland 

[Saint_clark]

Got a stream with the most biased Bolton commentators possible.

[broken spoke]

i too use Ireland for a VPN

Yep, its crap and clueless 

[Saint_clark]

These offsides are getting ridiculous now. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Jeez. How many offsides?

[tdmickey3]

Offside again FFS

Is it the two Scottish guys?

[Patches O Houlihan]

Three passes out in a row from Baz straight to a striped shirt 😁
