With Wanderers taking a break due to internationals, Lee rates the start they’ve had to the season How would you rate our team’s season out of 10 vs expectations so far?
8
We’ve failed our tests at home to Wednesday and at Plymouth, despite an encouraging display there. We passed tests at home to Wycombe and at MK, both bogey sides for us in the past, while escaping Portman Road with a point on opening day will definitely be looked...

Manny Road Tom rates the players from Saturdays win James Trafford - 6
The default score for a goalkeeper that had nothing to do in ninety minutes. An easy day at the office for Traff.
Conor Bradley - 7
Got forward with purpose and ensured Bolton’s threat was predominantly down the right side. Should have found the target when through on goal in the second half.
Gethin Jones - 6
A solid if unspectacular performance. Geth will ne...

He is a sexy footballer isn’t he? In my view there were a number of really strong performances against an expensively assembled Aston Villa team boasting some big names and talented players. Bolton Wanderers more than held their own for 45 minutes, and were somewhat unfortunate not to be ahead at the break.
However, for me one man stood out and that is Kieran Lee. I can only think of one time in the game where he received the ball and his touch let him d...

DTMR Tom returns! It seems already as though this weekend’s fixture against Sheffield Wednesday will be an indicator of how far both clubs can go this season. Wednesday, many people’s favourites to go up automatically after the heartbreak of a playoff semi-final defeat last year, have started the season well. Tuesday’s loss to Peterborough will be a tough one to take for a side with big expectatio...

After Bolton’s tough afternoon’s work away in Burslem, Liam considers a couple of the standout Wanderers performances Yesterday’s game at Port Vale was a tough one to judge. A case could be made for several Bolton players as I would say each of them dug in and played their part after the first-half red card awarded to Ricardo Santos. Given these difficult circumstances, of course exacerbated by the hellish-like weather and size of the Va...

Wanderers head to Stoke to take on Port Vale We head to Vale Park in rude health, after 8 goals and just one conceded in a week of conviviality at the UniBol.
The only question mark hovers over young midfielder George Thomason, who was rather harshly sent off in the dying embers of the game on Tuesday evening, a red card Ian Evatt has confirmed that we will appeal, given that George only went in one footed and seemed to win the ball. ...

Lee rates the players after their convincing League Cup win Joel Dixon 7.5
It is comforting that should an injury beset James Trafford, that at least Dixon has returned to a semblance of form.
His performance was composed and he played the sweeper keeper role to perfection, as The Ammies looked to spring in behind as often as they could to penetrate our high line in the first half. This tactic yielded early results in Brandon Thom...
