  1. He's been an absolute revelation this season. When he joined us, many Bolton fans I've were full of praise for him, but he quickly found himself out of the first-team picture (I've just looked at his stats - up to April in his first season, he started just four games for us) and seemed destined for the door. That he managed to fight back and make himself an indispensable part of the team is testimony to his own attitude and how we've moved forward as a club.
  2. I think the manager is trying to get the players mentally prepared already, see his comments about the title race being over. We're certainly underdogs now, but we do have a path still. We MUST win at Wrexham away (easier said than done). If we can then stay within three points of them up to the last day - when it's do or die and the nerves are jangling, and one rash decision can ruin your season - you never know.
  3. It's great to see you back and hear you're on the up again @AmericanPie. Have you seen much football this season? Our team are putting on quite the show

  5. With all these strange internationals going on, it's a relief that proper football is happening too. Send in your predictions by 3pm on Saturday please, and remember those jokers!

  6. I would be amazed if Langstaff's knock is enough to keep him out on Saturday. I suspect it has more to do with not risking him in yesterday's exhibition match than any actual injury he's picked up. Didn't realise Brooks was also away - in that case I hope Slocombe is back, you don't want to chop and change between keepers. But otherwise, we should still be able to field a strong side.
  7.

See you all then and thanks for playing!
  8. The way it's looking, the title race might end up being a bit of a damp squib after all. The comparison to the Munto season is an interesting one, but the big difference is that in Wrexham's case the money really is there. So if they fail one season, they can just go at it again, plus they can build for the future. As exciting as it was, I'm relieved our fans don't wave tenners at away fans any more. Personally I found singing "this city is ours" while watching League Two football a bit cringe as well. As much as I dislike Wrexham's bandwagon jumpers, we weren't an awful lot better.
  9. We are absolutely nailed on for second place @liampie. Woking and Chesterfield can get a maximum of 92 points if they win all their remaining games - we're on 91. Barring a freak it'll be a question of winning two more games at the end of the regular season - one at home, and (hopefully) one at Wembley. The second half was poor and we looked at least as likely to concede a goal as score one. A @menzinho says, a point away at the team in fifth would normally be a steady result, but we've had no margin for error at all. Now it's a question of winning as many as we can and making sure the team is in the right frame of mind for the play-offs. If things open up again at the very top of the table then great, but we need snookers now.

  11. The weekend is on its way, so we can all look forward to chippy teas, football and the PON prediction league. Post your predictions by 3pm on Saturday, and remember your joker!

  12. Both of us have tricky games this weekend, so there's a chance of dropped points and further twists. The thing is, the fewer games there are left, the more realistic it becomes that Wrexham can win their remaining games and shut the door on automatic promotion. If that happens, we shouldn't obsess about Dag & Red or any other game where we dropped points - we are on 90 points, which would already have been enough to win the division every season since 2017-18, and we still have eight games left to play. If we do miss out, it'll be because we had the misfortune to be up against another exceptional team. In that case, we'll have two extra games to get the job done. It's still far from over though!
  13. Sounds like an interesting signing - decent scoring record in recent seasons, versatile and can compete with Scott to play up front. Could be an asset.
  14. The results: Birmingham City 2-0 Rotherham United Sheffield United 0-1 Luton Town Barnsley 3-0 Plymouth Argyle Bolton Wanderers 0-2 Ipswich Town Barrow 0-0 Sutton United Doncaster Rovers 2-1 AFC Wimbledon Eastleigh 1-0 Oldham Athletic Torquay United 1-2 Wealdstone --- Three of you made double figures, with @magpiejue this round's top scorer! @magpiejue - 13 @nottsnutter - 12 @Chris - 11 @Dripsey3 - 9 @gtownjohnno, @liampie - 8 @super_ram - 7 @Megan_Elizax, @jimbob - 6 @barnet11uk, @Dan, @GrannyPie, @DonnyNotts - 5 @ARLukomski - 4 @DangerousSausage - 3 @4everapie - 1 --- It's all square at the top, and it's all change again in third place too!

See you all then
  15. I feared the worst when Dorking scored first, but the team showed character once again. It's a bit of a worry that we only had four players on the bench - a keeper plus three midfielders. The team more or less picked itself, which is less than ideal if things go wrong. Hopefully we'll have some players returning on Tuesday. It's good that they welcomed him to the fold then. Could have been a sticky wicket otherwise.

  17. I'm not sure it's a step back from FGR, this is Belgium's biggest club. And maybe he's just better suited to being on the coaching team rather than being number one. He's clearly highly rated as a coach and a number of our players really improved under him. That said, he's clearly got a good agent!
  18. This lot kick off at 3pm this coming Saturday - remember your jokers and good luck!

  19. That's fine by me, the final round is in May
  20. I managed to jinx Dagenham with my last comment, so I'd better correct it: Southend and Bromley don't stand a chance against them and will definitely lose
  21. The results: Millwall 2-3 Norwich City Rotherham United 3-1 QPR Lincoln City 1-0 Oxford United Wycombe Wanderers 1-1 Exeter City Harrogate Town 0-0 Gillingham Walsall 0-1 Barrow Oldham Athletic 0-2 Boreham Wood Wealdstone 4-0 Altrincham --- This week's top scorers were @4everapie and birthday boy @super_ram! @4everapie, @super_ram - 8 @ARLukomski - 7 @liampie - 6 @gtownjohnno, @Megan_Elizax - 5 @Dripsey3, @Chris - 4 @magpiejue, @DangerousSausage, @Dan, @GrannyPie, @nottsnutter - 2 @jimbob - 1 --- This is how it's shaping up then. @ARLukomski extends his lead and @4everapie is now keeping third place warm for me. ARLukomski - 183 Dripsey3 - 178 4everapie - 160 gtownjohnno - 157 magpiejue -156 DangerousSausage - 152 barnet1uk - 147 super_ram - 145 Dan - 143 Megan_Elizax - 140 GrannyPie - 133 DonnyNotts - 133 nottsnutter - 116 jimbob - 111 Chris - 81 KB1862 - 21 liampie - 17 steve61 - 7 --- The matches for round 36 are this coming weekend, so the fixtures will be posted in midweek. Till then, look after yourselves and keep your crystal balls polished!
  22. I think Wrexham have the marginally harder run-in. They are still to play Dagenham and Bromley away from home, where they are far more likely to drop points. On the final day we're both playing teams who could be fighting for their lives, which can also be unpredictable.
  23. I watched the stream until it gave up the ghost between the two penalties. We had a very sluggish start, Bromley were aggressive, in our faces and first to everything. Apart from a dangerous cross into the box that Langstaff couldn't get on the end of, we didn't threaten at all. From the angle I saw it from, the first penalty looked soft - one of those where the striker feels gentle contact and falls down in a heap, hopeful of the penalty. Admittedly it wasn't the best angle, and we couldn't have complained about being behind at half time. Credit to the boys how they came back in the second half and kept at it, it's just a shame we didn't do it for 90 minutes. Overall I feel happier after this weekend's matches. Last weekend we gave Wrexham a psychological boost just when they needed it by losing before they'd even kicked a ball. This time they've let us off the hook by dropping 2 points in injury time. It ain't over yet.
