So, two weeks of sackings, guessing, international matches, press conferences and anticipation; the Championship finally returns tomorrow. It feels like an age ago that Darius Henderson scored the straw that broke poor old Owen`s back.
Right, our season begins NOW. We may have to get more than the targeted two points a game, but let`s get behind Jimmy, Sammy and the lads! COME ON YOU WHITE MEN!!!!!!!!!!
Vital Quotes:
‘The slight changes we may have done with the players have been done with the sole aim to improve them and hopefully get a winning performance against Bristol City,’ said Jimmy. No nonsense, just honesty. His interviews have filled me with optimism and passion, and if he can do that to the players, we can start to get excited again.
Bolton Wanderers Team News:
The long-termers are still out and Lonergan is too. I have no clue who will start; how exciting?
Player to watch: Jimmy Phillips
I can just imagine him sticking his boots on again. In all serious, he is the man to watch. This is a big test for him, and I really hope he succeeds.
Brissle City Team News:
McManus might make his debut for City who they have got from Middlesborough on loan. So I now know at least one of their players.
Player to watch: Albert Adomah
I think I might have heard of him. Apparently a fairly good winger. Nah. I think not that good.
Match Facts & Stats
I cannot remember the last time we played them, and I`m sure it must have been before my time. So from that I can deduce that all head to head stats mean nothing. Here`s a stat: we are a better team, and should destroy them.
Match Prediction:
We have optimism on our side, and they are a bit pants. I`ll go for a 2-0, maybe a 3-0. One of them. You pick.
