Bredbury Blue Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) An interesting dynamic on this thread on the Bolton and Bury survival is that it only seems to be of particular interest to MrBj, Champers obviously and me; 3 locals. Made me question would i be as upset if this was say Forest Green, Crawley and Stevenage (don't even know where they are on a map)? I think i would be.

champers Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Keith Hill appointed as manager last night, assistant David Flitcroft. Both have a lot of experience at this level. Hill and Kevin Nolan were interviewed in London on Friday. Hill and Flitcroft are both Bolton lads, though never played for the club. Busy day tomorrow, last day for getting loan deals done. Up the Whites!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Your next game should be interesting with 9 new signings. Good job they'll have the Bolton shirt on to recognise each other. Pleased to see the Major of Mancunia, the 2 Bury MPs and Bury fans making the EPL seriously think about reinstating Bury in Div 2 next season if they get their ownership and finances sorted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have almost 2 weeks to get to know each other; we were due to play Bury this weekend. 9000 on last night for a EFL Trophy game. Just a fiver to get in and it was a goodbye for now to the youths who have been filling in. 4 or 5 will have to figure during the season; we are still short of bodies. Staying in this league is the target now. 39 games left, so it is doable if the new signings gel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunderland Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Good luck the rest of this season Bolton. You will need it. Bridcutt and Buckley were rubbish for us in the Premier League, but this is League 1. Daryl Murphy on his day will be a good player at this level if his legs aren't gone. Will probably score more than Will Grigg will for us. I am sure we will bend over backwards and give you your first win of the season on the 21st of this month. It's the Sunderland way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 9 hours ago, RickG16 said: Do you know how Duncan Watmore is getting on at Sunderland these days? Still injured? Yes, he's out again. I believe it's a short term injury, but I think he's reaching a point now where he is so injury prone that he would struggle to get a regular starting place. I like his personality, his honesty. his workrate and to a degree his unpredictability. Saying that, there is rarely an end product. He's now 25, and been at the club for 6 turbulent and injury ravaged seasons. He's only made 55 appearances and scored a paltry 4 goals. Sadly, I don't see much of a future for him at Sunderland. He's out of contract at the end of the season, and I don't honestly see anyone paying anything for him in January. I think if he finds another club it could well be in League 2 or even the conference where we signed him from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad, he was on the verge of the England squad at one stage. And played very well in the Toulon tournament. I'm an Altrincham supporter, hence the interest. Despite his injuries I reckon he should be looking at the top two divisions. Surely far too good for the lower leagues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly 14k on, doubt that will be repeated much for the rest of the season. Dale bought a 16 year old full back on at half time who has Prem Lge scouts getting excited and later bought on 40 year old Aaron Wibraham who apparently changed the game. That's our 3rd meeting v Dale already this season. Wonder if we will draw them in the FA Cup on Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring an unlikely result when Rochdale and Bradford meet in the last group game, we will be in the knockout stage. Wembley here we come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you should have wrapped things up in the first half; we improved after the break. It was our best available team being given some game time after our match v Lincoln was postponed on Saturday. You are already through to the knockout stage.

champers Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 Bolton's further points deduction is 5, but is suspended for 18 months. A £70K fine with half similarly suspended. Looks very much like we now have a real chance of staying up this season. Accrington away tomorrow, half the ground sold out to Bolton so it will be like a home game. Up the Whites!!

Bredbury Blue Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 12 points behind with 3 games in hand, yep it's possible for you stay up. Wish they'd been as accommodating on Bury's plight as they are being on Bolton's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Hammered 7-1 at Accrington Stanley. A new low and can't blame this on having to play the kids. Some very deep soul searching is urgently needed. The EFL set up an independant panel to rule on our points deduction and are now appealing their decision. Bizzare!!!

I moved to Rochdale when I was 24. But I do go and see them when I can when home. City are the team my dad brainwashed me to support since birth. The same as I have done with my daughter. She's only lived in the Uk for 6 months but at 2 days old she was in the City shop at the Etihad. Next you'll be saying she should support Al Nasser ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 Again. Four times this season. Our manager; Keith Hill; was sacked off by Rochdale last season. It's pretty much his team. He has been ranting on local media and is in danger of losing the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
