Loaning players to your rivals isnt going to help, especially your best goalscorer
He was very good today on his full debut. Bonkers really when they are in the run they are in as he could be the difference between us finishing above them!

He probably didnt want to face gasheads next week, he will probably go back to Oxford 'injured' before we play you again :bg:
We sold Alfie Kilgour to Mansfield despite interest from L1 so he didnt end up with a rival...even though he was nowhere near our starting XI.
It just doesnt make sense to loan good players to other teams in your league. I know Ipswich also have a few out on loan in L1 too but not as key as the snake.

No it’s an odd one, they’ve loaned us the keeper as well but that was done in August when they probably assumed they’d be the opposite end of the table to us.

Taylor owes us goals anyway, he’s only scored two league goals and both of them against us so he’s on -2 at the minute.

It should add a bit of spice to our game as well, he really is despised here and i believe had to move when he first joined C*ty.
I think the only time he actually played well against us was when there were no fans to abuse him. Shame we are so bad at the moment he will have a field day.

He might not play if all options are fit, Wilson will be back in a couple of weeks so we could if by some miracle they don’t get crocked again Proctor, Taylor, Wilson and Harrison so he may rotate at that point.

Although do like the sound of Taylor and Harrison with Wilson in his favoured position behind the front two!

Rather than read the edited version in that article, if you can find it, the actual interview on BBC Oxford is enough for him to be sacked on it's own. He turned on the interviewer and rambled on even more incoherently than usual. The bloke is absolutely deluded.

Then there's the appalling summer transfer window, followed by insipid performances all season (which are getting worse), our conversion from a free flowing passing and goalscoring team into a useless long ball imitation of a team, the alleged bullying of anyone who stands up to him, the good background staff leaving in droves because they're not being listened to, the fans being the most depressed and downbeat I've ever known, and the generally divisive atmosphere around the club.

Get him out now. He should have gone in the summer. Enough is enough.

Based on Saturday, there's every chance he'll ... "... get the club out of League 1."

Genuinely not bothered by this. Multi million pound deal with a local business that is run by Bolton fans. The owner says in the interview it’s a bit of schoolboy humour and means we can have a bit of fun with the marketing. It gives us a better financial footing to compete with Ipswich and others.

Hardly a schoolboy error when the guy is worth 10s of millions is it… and employs 70 odd local people … rising to 90 in the coming months. It’s clever for marketing and people will always remember the name because you can take the mick with it.

Anyway… who gives a toss what it’s called… I’d rather have the extra money to spend on the squad/training ground etc. Plus a lot of people still call it the Reebok anyway and will continue to do so even though it hasn’t been called that for years.

Looks like it’s going to be the TS Community Stadium anyway.

That was a great deal for Reebok, they still get brand exposure despite not having paid a penny for naming rights for a few years now.

That's the issue with naming from the start after a sponsor really, for example similar wit the Sh*tannia Stadium and Walkers Stadium for example.

We are still Pirelli. Will be weird one day when that ends. Been 18 years so far. One of the oldest perhaps ?
Have to be the bass stadium, or marstons or even the marmite stadium if it changes.

Fratton Park has never changed its name to my knowledge. Even the ends and stands have stayed the same through the years: Fratton End, Milton End, North Stand, South Stand.

I'm sure if somebody had ever managed to build us a new ground we'd have been saddled with a sponsor's name. The Starbucks Stadium or something.

The Bolt New Lawn is our current stadium sponsor. No one I know calls it that.

Nope, me neither...not sure if that is better than the Innocent New Lawn...a sponsor that was ditched pretty sharpish when someone at the club realised that they are owned by Coca Cola, who don't quite fit into the ethical image.

But at the same time we have a major sponsorship and supply deal with BrewDog, who are anything but ethical. And all the recent club merchandise I’ve bought is either made in China or Pakistan, not exactly the greenest way of doing it. Bit hypocritical imo, but there you go.

I know...BrewDog have been coming up for quite a bit of stick in the last week because they are opening a brewery in China...the club is backing the group that opposes betting in sport, but we have rolling adverts during matches for SkyBet and are presumably taking money from them. We back the rainbow laces campaign but at the same time are flying the flag for one of the worst countries on the planet when it comes to rights for the LGBT+ community...we seem to excel at hypocrisy.

In fact, if we were as good on the pitch as we are at being hypocritical there is no way we would be bottom!

I hate these sponsored stadium names and I steadfastly refuse to use this one. Bolton's spiritual home for me is, and always will be, The Reebok Stadium.
Sprirtual home mate, is and will always be Burnden

Quite a few of us are too young to properly remember Burnden tbf, I remember as a kid when collecting Merlin’s stickers & reading Match etc it was always the Reebok stadium. So for me that’s Bolton’s traditional stadium name and Big Sam will always be the first manager you think of when talking about Bolton with Kevin Davies up front.
