[Archived] Rovers V Bolton 28Th August

[perthblue02]

Bolton now turned down by Barclays for their 5 mill overdraft renewal so have had to seek help from some finance company. Very tough times for them and you'd think poss heading to admin. Are they just one step ahead of us though ?

nobody on their forums started a Greater Manchester United thread yet?

[A cup of beans]

Good shout. 10/1 is probably about as good as you're going to get, 9/1 on Hills for comparison purposes. I reckon 0-0 or 1-1.

Rhodes to score at anytime and Roves to win 3/1 at Hills as well.

0-0 is always worth couple of quid (in any game).

Cant see Rovers keeping a clean sheet at the moment.

Hanley and Duffy owe a performance to all of us who travelled to Bolton last boxing day.

I'm surprised, every forum must have a Theno surely ?

Put me two quid on and got £1.90 in cash back already

Tough call tonight.. JR if plays could be the difference but Bolton have the tricky Zak Clough and couple of decent loanees and a proven manager

Both probably over due a win

How's that work Abbey?

[ABBEY]

0-0 at kick off ... Will change as game goes on but usually bet off after 8 mins ha

Bolton will score at at least two. If we're lucky enough to get a score draw, it'll be us chasing the game in the last two minutes pushing for an equaliser. That's as good as it'll get, with a lot of fan unrest and anger in between.

Sorry to be negative, but that's my prediction.

[philipl]

Would be nice just to be in the lead at some point in a game this season...

[Mercer]

Some managers are lucky in the context of self preservation.

I think Bowyer is one of those managers and for that reason, I think Rovers will win by 2 or 3 goals to 1 and cement Bowyer's position for at least another regressive month. The longer we continue with Bowyer, the worse our situation will become.

[Mike Graham]

I hope we win but doubt it.

11,500 real gate

Well their tickets sales have picked up, expecting 2k plus now. They're scenting victory but I still think it'll be another grinding draw.

Unfortunately I can't make it tonight as I'd already swapped my Friday & Saturday at the pub before Sky ballsed everything up (to be fair I'd swapped it before the end of last season to cover for the regular Friday night DJ) so the missus will be taking the little un.

As I see it, if JR plays we'll win, if he doesn't I can't see anyone else capable of putting the ball in the net and it'll be a 0-0.

I never want to see Rovers lose but it may be a blessing if Notlob can edge it and it sees the back of Bowyer and his rugby style of football (no forward passes please lads, that's not allowed!)

My enthusiasm for this never been lower. Struggling to get past the bigger picture of terrible owners who aren't going anywhere, a poor manager clinging on to his last managerial job with all his might before returning as someone's u21s manager, coach or scout. Owners unlikely to sack said manager and even if they did would probably appoint someone equally dreadful.

Win, lose or draw after whatever 90 mins of crap is served up I'd love to have a decent manager taking charge once the international break finishes. I won't hold my breath though.

Last time we played Bolton in an important game was when K**n was here and it was an utterly dreadful performance. If tonight is anything like that night, we're absolutely screwed.

Must win game tonight. No excuses.

Stuck in work with dodgy radio reception anyway to listen online ?

Radio 5 live later on maybe?

Up from Cornwall for this one!

Got that exciting match day feeling; 1-0 to us.

Any one in the Postal Order?

Well I hope you really enjoy it Tony and we have a good game.

If I known you could have had use of my ST.

Been in hospital since last week so I'm not fit enough to go tonight but I'll be there in spirit and watching on the telly. It's not the same though. Give them a shout for me.

I've heard that many people say they're not going I think the real gate may not be over 10,000.

Apart from folk on this site I do not know of a single individual from the usual suspects who are going tonight.

All watching it on the telly down the pub. It could look a tad embarrassing on the goggle box.

[joey_big_nose]

If Rhodes is playing I'm slightly hopeful against my better judgement.

To be honest knowing Bowyers form when under pressure we will spank them and the dogs will be off.
