Reading 1-1 Bolton

Given Parkinson's inability to set us up away and more often than not zero shots, I can't see much here, still think a draw is possible though.

0-0

I learnt that it must be tough for you.

Tights can be tricky.

Sounds like Ameobi has a bad back and won't play tomorrow.

Wessy will be crying into his beer.

if he doesn't play most Bolton fans will be disappointed because he's our biggest asset so it's a no brainer.

Sometimes the best team selections come about because of injury to supposed key players.

I'll be happy with a draw on this one

Ref watch: James Linington to run the rule over Reading trip

James Linington will oversee Wanderers’ trip to Reading on Tuesday night.
Having taken charge of his first second tier match back in January 2009, the Newport-based official has run the rule over two Whites fixtures in the past.

The man in the middle for Bolton's 1-1 draw with Queens Park Rangers at Macron Stadium earlier this season, he also oversaw the Trotters' last trip to the Madejski Stadium back in November 2015.

Mr Linington has overseen 32 games so far this season, dishing out 105 yellow cards and five reds.

Mark Russell and Steven Meredith will run the line, while Brendan Malone is the fourth official.

Hope we show some ambition tonight. This is winnable,and would be a massive shot in the arm.

Probably get rolled over 3-0.

I'm going to this game tonight, and think I'm going to see a dynamic, thrusting, forward-thinking team, and just hoping we can still put them on their arse  .
They have 3 players returning to the team tonight, so hopefully, they will be as (dis)organised as us.

You did say you were going to our game didn't you Glos? 

Have another read Mr Pig, and you will see that I'm referring to Reading, initially, but there's always hope.

Hearing there will be some big changes to the side tonight. I understand that David Wheater has NOT travelled.

6:36pm

Going to be an interesting line-up... Lads are on the pitch and a few interesting faces. Parkinson currently talking to Karl Henry.

Mark Little also getting the chat, which I think means he starts.

6:37pm

Harry Charsley and Connor Hall also down there.

6:47pm

After a nose around and a check on the players who are here, I think the team will be...

Alnwick; Little, Burke, Beevers, Robinson; Kirchhoff, Henry, Morais, Pratley, Clough; Wilbraham.

Entirely guesswork, of course.

Not a clue how that team lines up.

4-1-4-1 is my guess

Alnwick

Flanagan and Taylor fullbacks

Burke and Beevers centre backs.

Henry defensive mid

Pratley and Kirchoff attacking mid

Morais and Buckley wide

Alf lone striker.

I now support Reading. Come on you Royals!!

Lucky dip. He’s going for the new manager effect by switching it up, re-motivating the squad, and catching the opposition out.

Reading giving a debut to a 17 year old centre back - Tom Holmes.

Also their keeper only making his second ever Champioship start - his debut was at the Macron this season.
