Match Thread Bolton Wanderers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 10th Aug (14 Viewers)

[Hobo]

Seen too many defeats in the cup by lower league teams and too many league defeats by bottom of the table teams to be over confident about this one.

Come on City any type of win will do on the road.

Hopefully conditions play into our favour today too. We should have more experience in the side of dealing with playing in adverse weather.

The weather is quite pleasant at the minute in Manchester...

 

[Magwitch]

Well it’s been bucketing down here by the stadium, rain is bouncing off the grass

Unless Allen is fit enough for the bench I’d run with this, should have enough to do the job without taking unnecessary risks on players

Good shout and good bench

 

[PurpleBin]

Not sure if anyone is still in Manchester but the trains are a mess. 13.30 to Horwich cancelled.

Is the weather that bad or just general train incompetence?

Would be typical city for this game to now be postponed because of bad weather.

 

[Winny the Bish]

5-0 anyone?

 

[shmmeee]

I had a dream that we won 2-1 with a winning goal in the 6th minute of injury time scored by Kanye West.

33/1 on SkyBet get it on.

5-0 anyone?

I know it's selfish but I am glad it's their kids and hopefully we hammer them.

Not going to get too hopefull just ye though.

Nightmare this mate. Train stuck in Oxford Road for 20 minutes. Other City fans on train. Got to change at Bolton. People getting pissed off!

We should win the scoreline is secondary

 

[Esoterica]

Comfortable 4-0 win but happy with 3 points.

Suprised Allen hasnt made the bench, unless he is saving them for Tues?

 

[mark82]

Surprised no Pask on the bench.

 

[bawtryneal]

Same team as last week
Cmon City.

 

[Nick]

Dont know any of them but unwise to underestimate

 

[Greggs]

Nice pies up here

 

[Liquid Gold]

C'MON CITY

 

[KeresleyArmpit]

Shouldn’t need them today but absolutely no options on the wings bar Jobello and Hiwula.

We need to show we mean business here, anything less than a 3 goal winning margin is poor.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Looks like none of the first teamers bless them

 

[higgs]

Surprised no Pask on the bench.

Mark robins secret love child Sam took his place instead

I don't see why their fans are so pissed off with the seniors refusing to play. They've not been paid in 6 months or something.

 

[stevefloyd]

Lets hope they are stupid enough to try and play football and not brought a bus to park

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

Not sure if anyone is still in Manchester but the trains are a mess. 13.30 to Horwich cancelled.

Yep. Ours was cancelled while we were on it. Uber now

 

[bawtryneal]

Think there team is full of kids
Just speaking to one of the Bolton fans and he says they are all kids. The seniors have refused to play.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I wonder if the youngsters are being paid?

 

[chiefdave]

Surprised the players are still there. Surely they can just walk and go to another club.

That said you know if it was us our fans would be moaning at anyone who wouldn't play without being paid.

 

[SBAndy]

Their team is entirely made up of Football Manager regens.

Max would still play

Hope the players concentrate, as will be strange atmosphere, I suspect and the Bolton kids will have nothing to lose (except hopefully the football match). Come on City and good luck Bolton for the rest of the season.
