Preseason

[wanderlust]

We split the squad last Saturday with 2 away games. One at Shrewsbury which we drew 2-2 and the other at Huddersfield, won 0-2.

This Saturday we are doing the same with Wednesday at our training ground and Stoke away.

Week Saturday we have Lazio at home

16th August away to Spurs

Strange to split the squad imo but it might be down to different circumstances. We have sold our captain and our top goal scorer, signed about 10 with the income, promoted a few from the youth team, sent a few out on loan, told a few to find another club and it’s been mayhem - which is probably why everybody travelled and we’ve fielded two different teams in each half on some occasions - it’s been substastic. I suppose it’s been about getting strangers to learn about each other.

In typical Bolton style, three of the newbies were injured in the preseason and will be out for a few weeks.1
Results have been excellent winning every game but it’s only preseason and means nothing.

Hopefully Wednesday will be able to put out a team as the club’s finances are a mess and the players weren’t paid. I worry for them especially as we were staring liquidation in the face not long ago and were lucky enough to be saved by good people who may not be rich but care for the club and the community. Hope they get through it.
