Spirits amongst Bolton fans couldn`t be lower and it`s only the second game of the season. The media have spent the summer conducting a relentless campaign to de-stabilise the club and the defensive display against Newcastle would have embarrassed a pub team. Now it seems that influential midfielder Abdoulaye Faye is joining Newcastle and rumours about goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen joining Manchester City seem credible. Never was a win more needed.
