I'm still waiting for Rovers on Twitter: "Morning #rovers fans! How are we feeling today? ?

I think we can all imagine the replies

Sheff Utd should have had 2 sent off already by halftime. Then linesman misses a clear offside but fortunately Sharpe, he was offside, misses a good chance. Meanwhile a Leeds player booked for SFA.

A miracle if Leeds get anything against a 13 man team.

And I have little time for f'ing Leeds but this is atrocious by the officials.

Dean Henderson made a delightful error today to lose them the game

Prestons keeper wins the gaffe of the day award.

Another day, another defeat for Lamberts Ipswich. Starting to get detached.

[DE.]

Ipswich are down. At this point they would need to see an incredible upturn in form to survive. Stoke away next.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Anybody else hear that the Bolton players didn't get paid at the end of November ?

[K-Hod]

Yeah, apparently they’ll be getting paid Monday. There was a rumour circulating that their direct debits for season tickets will be collected Monday, so that’s why it can be sorted then...

All seems very amateurish to me!

[JacknOry]

Come here Ez E, we always pay on time.

I've just been catching up on the weekend goals from the weekend. I was going to say there was some pretty poor goalkeeping on display. I thought Randolph's was bad enough, but then I saw . . .

I don't think I've ever seen a worse one. No bobble, just unbelievably poor.

Incidentally Lenny Johnrose was just on radio Lancs saying that none of Preston's goalkeepers are good enough and that they are both no.2's (though not sure if that had a double meaning, lol). Imagine if we'd have played a striker against Preston, someone that actually had a shot on goal.

Jay Rodriguez just missed an open net from two yards.  Wba had three clear as day Chances and blew all of them. Playing some really good football just can't get it in . Been a good game

Way to steal a point. For all their height advantage West Brom got done by a cross into the box - it doesn't matter if you're 1 foot taller if you can't mark.

Rodriguez looking like a true Burnley player. I hope they do get him back.

I only saw the first half as I'm at work and the internet suddenly " went down" ?

Haha hadn't seen that before - that is really awful. 

Made my mind go back to Tim Flowers but at least that one was a rolling ball that hit a divert and then lopped over his shoulder.

Looks like Shane Warne's flipper did him there. He was looking for the leg break.

Bolton chairman Ken Anderson statement

https://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/2018/december/a-note-from-the-chairman2/

 

[Mattyblue]

He’s replying to this:

https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/17276824.comment-why-ken-anderson-owes-wanderers-fans-an-explanation/

Anderson’s note is a serious stream of consciousness rant!

The fact that he states that they struggle for cash flow in just the two weeks of an international break tells me they are in a bad way...

[DE.]

Bolton seem to have been in a bad way forever. Not sure how they still exist.

[Mattyblue]

The last two crises have been averted by selling Gary Madine and former owner Eddie Davies sorting out the last cash flow issue just before he died.

Not sure how much longer they can keep pulling these rabbits out the hat...

[K-Hod]

From that ‘note from the chairman’- 

I also noticed a recent report by Alan Nixon in The Sun claiming that SCC/Heathcote’s were about to issue us with a writ for £350,000. This is total nonsense and at the time of writing no money is overdue to them.

Alan Nixon and total nonsense in the same paragraph, who’d have thought it, eh? ?

Well Alan's standing by the info he's been given. As is Iles presumably. Anderson's even moaning about the ratings Iles has given players lately.

Sounds like Reading are close to sacking Paul Clement. Changes afoot there as they sacked off their Chief Executive a couple of weeks ago and have appointed Nigel Howe who was Madejski's right hand man.

[JHRover]

Wonder who they will go for now. Obvious two are Bruce and Jokanovic but expect both would be expensive.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Clement really should stick to the coaching. He has been a disaster as a management
