Match Day Thread Swansea City 2 v 0 Bolton Wanderers

Both Ipswich and Rotherham have beaten us, no way a gimme

2-1

cant see our defense keeping a clean sheet

 

Sky Sports News understands the club's staff and players have yet to be told when they are expected to receive their February wages.

Bolton have been beset by financial difficulties this season, and players went on strike in the summer, after wages had not been paid.

Payments were also delayed in November before this latest issue which the club have yet to comment on.

 

I read that first sentence and thought it was about us

 

Sadly for Bolton they are in a right mess and have been for a few seasons now doing what we were doing paying out to much on players wages and not living in their means. They were not long ago flying and getting talked about regularly.....Ring a bell anyone.....I hope Bolton can get through this as it is sad to see a club on the brink of liquidation all because of poor management spending above their means trying to stay in the premiership.....We could have been in the exact same position if we had carried on like the last few seasons.....We are not out of the woods yet ourselves but at least we never reached the stage that Bolton are in and have done the necessary and are working on our mess....

 

Actually Dai I agree with most of what you say.

All teams have to cut their cloth .....

 

I blame the money no object clubs pushing up transfer and contract fee's.......

 

Chelsea and Man City are the clubs to blame. They've destroyed the transfer market.

 

Swansea City will be without captain Leroy Fer for the visit of Championship strugglers Bolton as he continues to recover from injury.The midfielder injured his hamstring during their draw against Birmingham in January and is still not fit.

Bolton midfielder Jason Lowe will miss out as he begins a two-match ban for picking up 10 yellow cards. Luca Connell could feature for the Trotters after recovering from illness, while Andrew Taylor might also return.

I thought the exact same thing !!!

 

Sorry guys !

Wasn’t my intention to ‘mislead’ you!

 

It shows where we are, that our supporters wouldn’t be surprised if that statement was said about us!

 

Very attacking line up ,Potter must be confident of getting something today

 

Wish I was there but have a temperature & aches and pains....

Caught it from my grandson

 

Surprised Celina isn't starting though.......

 

Back to 3 wingers - with James instead of Hernandez

 

Can anyone even image there'll be a live stream today ?

 

I imagine it every match day.... the same way I imagine we'll win. Who knows, if I wish hard enough both might happen one day

 

Bloody Hell - 10 mins in and we've had 83% possession, 5 shots on goal
