Bolton 1-1 MK Dons - Match Report Post #25

MKD may be 15th but we have shown we can f*** up against anyone and we have a new strikeforce so I've absolutely no idea how we'll get on in this one.
We need to win but my guess is that we'll draw 1 - 1.

Back to winning games again with this one.

1-3 to the Trotters!

Wondering what the starting X1 will be? Two wingers, Madine and ALF in the middle, same back 6?

Alnwick
Wilson - Wheater - Beevers - A. Taylor
Henry - Spearing - Thorpe - Vela
Madine - ALF

Subs - Turner, Derik, Moxey, Otabor, Long, Trotter, Clayton 

Saturdays official team sheet

put Vela in Thorpe's place and one of the new lads at left wing and i'll be happy with that

Away Win.

Onwards and Upwards.

In the Bag!

I haven't a clue what team he'll play and whether that team turns up or not.
I expect to lose this game 2-0

I fancy us to walk this one

Easy Peasey!!!!!!

We'll get dicked. Thorpe will play again. We'll get dicked.

4-0 to MK Dons.

Our away form needs to improve, starting Saturday, win for the trotters

Ref watch: David Coote to oversee MK Dons trip

David Coote will take charge of Wanderers' trip to MK Dons this weekend.

The Nottinghamshire-based official has run the rule over three Whites' outings in the past - the most recent being Bolton's away clash with Rochdale earlier this season..

Officiating his first Football League fixture back in April 2008, he has been a regular in the Football League since the 2010/11 season.

The man in the middle for 26 matches so far this season, Mr Coote has handed out 96 yellow cards and four red cards.

Adam Matthews and Daniel Robathan will run the line, while Nigel Lugg is the fourth official.

Preview: Five talking points ahead of MK Dons v Bolton Wanderers

1. First win of 2017?
Having been frustrated in recent weeks, Bolton head into Saturday's game in search of their first win of 2017 against the Dons.

Successive home reverses to Swindon Town and Charlton Athletic have been a blow for the Trotters, but having picked up a late equaliser in their last league game on the road against Coventry, they will head to stadiummk this weekend determined to go one further.

2. Adam Le Fondre
A more than familiar face to the Bolton faithful, Le Fondre's return to Macron Stadium on transfer deadline day was one which brought smiles to the faces of all associated with the club.

Having spent a loan stint with the Whites during the second half of the 2014/15 season, the 30-year-old notched eight goals in 17 appearances in that stint.

And now set to remain with Phil Parkinson's men until the current campaign's conclusion, the striker will be aiming for a repeat performance, hopefully starting with a debut goal this weekend.

3. Chris Long
The first of four players to join the club this week, young striker Long linked up with the Trotters on loan from Burnley for the rest of the season on Monday.

Still only 21, the highly-rated forward spent the first half of the current campaign on loan with fellow Sky Bet League One side Fleetwood Town.

Now a Wanderer however, the Liverpudlian will be eager to make his mark for the outset and add to his four goals already this term between now and April 30.

4. Viv Solomon-Otabor
Another attacking-minded player added to Bolton's ranks on Tuesday was young winger Solomon-Otabor.

Agreeing terms on a loan deal until the end of the season from parent club Birmingham City, the 21-year-old is an exciting prospect for Wanderers.

Held in high regard by all at St. Andrew's, the London-born wideman was also named as the Blues' Young Player of the Year last season.

5. Filipe Morais
Unveiled as a Bolton Wanderers player on Thursday, former Portuguese youth international Morais signed for the Whites on a free transfer until the conclusion of the campaign after being released by Bradford City.

The 31-year-old winger was formerly under the stewardship of manager Phil Parkinson during his time at Valley Parade.

Morais meanwhile boasts ample experience in the English game having started out with Chelsea, whilst he has also figured north of the border for various Scottish sides.

Setting off in a bit for the match, can't wait to hopefully see a bit more attacking intent than recent games and hopefully an away win. COYWM

Halfords?

Alnwick, Wilson, Beevers , Wheater, Taylor, Derik, Vela, Spearing, Long, Morais, Madine, BWFC starting XI
                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Alf probably not up to 90 minutes yet.

No ALF then?

Interesting- Henry and Thorpe not starting. And no ALF either. Presume they're all on the subs bench?

But playing Derik at FB again. When will Parky let him have a go in midfield?
Still, it makes sense to go with two wingers.
