Pre-season matches

I had hoped that I wouldn't be but I am still going into next season thinking we will concede at least 1 goal per game.

Have to wait and see, I do think two new full backs (who can defend) will make a massive difference though. Our centre backs last season were really poor at tracking forwards into the box but the amount of crosses we let come in was shocking.

Bolton's starting 11 for tonight's friendly against Carlisle is:

Lonergan, Mears, Knight, Mills, Ream, Pratley, Medo, Eagles, Hall, Eaves, C Davies

Subs are: Lynch, Wheater, Andrews, Chung-Yong, Lester, Bolger, Tierney, Sordell, Beckford, Gregus, Kellett

I hope Beckford get 45 mins - lets see how he plays for us...

It's still raining pretty heavily here at Brunton Park. We've got 15 minutes till kick-off, as both sides head back down the tunnel.

losing.

seriously worried now.

this is a shambles.

I think 3 or 4 games into the season we'll have to assess wether it's right to keep DF.

1-0 to Carlisle...

Calm down, its only a friendly.

Ream at fault...

Does anyone seriously believe a back four of Mears, Knight, Mills, Ream could keep a clean sheet against any team in the Conference let alone the football league. In fact is there a team in the UK they could keep a clean sheet against?

I reckon my lads under eights would smash the back of the net a few times against that shabby lot.

But calm down its just a friendly.

Not been too impressed with Beckford...

I think Knight will score, big powering run from a corner ,Light a night train , Bang!! its nearly smashed the net to bits.

1-0 carlisle

if thats how you spell it....

SKD Scores against Blackburn, how we could do with him right now.

Wow just seen the score, can't believe we're losing to this fucking pub team. Why haven't we brought Spearing and Dawson?!

Goes to show the clubs tightness is going to get us relegated this season.

Freedman out.

No need to panic the second half has only just started.

We'll go on to win this 1-4

Knight off for Wheater, could this be a turning point?

So ream and wheater are our CB pairing currently?

Ream LB Mills and Wheater CB I think.
