Bolton's next game is against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Macron Stadium.

After our second defeat in 13 games and whether our players are tired or not, or the fact that our injury list just keeps on growing and growing, I feel this game will be a real tough one as Wolves are currently in 7th position with 44 points and are quite hungry for that play off place.



Here are some statistics for you all to help make up your minds on Saturday's result!

Last 5 Wolves results (All competitions):

Wolves 0-0 Charlton
Wolves 2-0 Blackpool
Wolves 3-3 Fulham (FA Cup: Fulham won 5-3 on penalties)
Blackburn 0-1 Wolves
Fulham 0-0 Wolves

Last 5 meetings between both clubs:

Wolves 1-0 Bolton
Bolton 2-0 Wolves
Wolves 2-2 Bolton
Wolves 2-3 Bolton
Bolton 1-1 Wolves

Due to the injury crisis that we currently have and from what looks like player tiredness due to the fact the Bolton squad don't seem to be able to play 2 games with just 3 days rest in between, Unfortunately I feel that it will be a Bolton loss.

My prediction:

Bolton 0-2 Wolves

How do you all feel we will do?

Bolton's next game takes them to South Yorkshire club, Rotherham United which will be a crucial 3 points for Neil Lennon's team if they are to push up the league table hoping to make a charge into the top 6 to gain a promotional place to the Premier League where they are currently 14 points behind.







Rotherham are below Bolton in the championship table currently in 21st position with 26 points, where as Bolton are currently in 16th position with 33. 

A Bolton away win could potentially propel them up to 10th place in the league table if Blackburn lose by 5 goals against Derby County.

The Millers have drawn just 2 out of their last 5 games they have played in and not one win.

The Millers last 5 results are:

Rotherham 0-2 Bournemouth
Brentford 1-0 Rotherham
Rotherham 1-5 Bournemouth
Blackpool 1-1 Rotherham
Rotherham 2-2 Huddersfield 

The last 5 meetings between Rotherham and Bolton:

Bolton 3-2 Rotherham
Bolton 2-0 Rotherham
Rotherham 2-1 Bolton
Rotherham 2-2 Bolton
Bolton 0-0 Rotherham 

As the stats above show Rotherham only winning 1 game in the last 5 meetings between the two teams and Bolton only loosing 1 game in their last 12 which is absolutely impressive, I feel that this has a Bolton win all over this game!

It's been a while since my last Behind Enemy Lines, but I do enjoy reading the rubbish written by the deluded Wednesday fans. So here goes.....

Wednesday don't deserve to reach the play-offs:

GaryWard17 wrote:  Heskey and Goodjohnsen upfront for Bolton, average age 78? If we can’t beat this shite we don’t deserve to make the play-offs.

The one sensible Wednesday fan speaks:

Ged18976 wrote:  Neil Lennon has done an outstanding job at Bolton with virtually the same set of players that Dougie Freedman had. They are hard to beat and while they don’t have great pace in attack they will be a handful with Heskey and Gudjohnsen up top. To be honest I’d be happy with a draw to keep our run going. Fully expect Bolton to be pushing us for the play-offs come May.

Who is Emily Heskey? Emile's slimmer sister?

Rancid1974 wrote: Any team that picks fat Emily Heskey in attack is asking for defeat. Let’s make sure we deliver.

Megson Hater wrote: I don’t respect Bolton. I hate Bolton. They should have kept Gary Megson. That’s why I hate them.

There's some real anti-ginger feeling in Sheffield:

Ant_n_Flec wrote: Do you have to be ginger to manage Bolton? 4-1 Wednesday.

Think this is boring? Try watching Bolton under Dougie!

DesperateDan1981 wrote: I fancy a stale 0-0 draw. Bolton are boring.

The game kicks off and BigDaveHardy invites the inevitable:

BigDaveHardy wrote: : I've a good feeling about this one!

Within seconds Liam Feeney puts Bolton 1-0 up.

"Some dwarf just scored for Bolton"
"It's my bath night"
"Are you taking the mick, we gifted that goal to Bolton"

Jimlad1978 clearly didn't pay attention in Biology class:

Jimlad1978 wrote: Feeney is the result of sexual intercourse between Warwick Davis and Garth Crookes

Desperate times, desperate measures.....

Sheffield_Pete wrote: I have just become an internet troll. I sent Stuart Gray some abuse on Twitter with a photo of my ass cheeks

More well timed comments from Wednesday fans:

"Early days, the 3 points are still up for graps"
"We'll still win 3-1"
"Just a consolation for Bolton"
"I have runny stools"
"Bolton don't score many, that's their quota for the rest of January"

To the despair of the Wednesday fans Darren Pratley puts Bolton 2-0 up:

"Bolton killing us. Goodbye play-offs."
"Gray by name, gray by nature"
"Bring back David Hirst"
"This could be embarrassing"
"This game should be called off, the snow is too heavy"
"Come on ref, call the game off"

NickyNoo doesn't like Neil Lennon:

NickyNoo wrote: Once again we give it away at home, and what makes things worse is seeing that ginger prat Lennon lapping it up. What I wouldn't give for 5 minutes alone with him.

BobbyUrine says the words every Bolton fan dreads:

BobbyUrine wrote: Credit to Bolton, strong and direct and we just can't deal with it. Lennon won't be at Bolton for long.

But Wednesday are given a lifeline when Feeney gives away a penalty:

"Clear penalty, Feeney should be red carded"
"Dirty Bolton"
"We should get two penalties there, two players fouled"
"we is gonna win dis now with the boyz doin the biznizz"
"There are only two outcomes now, Wednesday win or a draw."

The penalty goes in and the Wednesday fans smell blood:

"GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL."
"best penalty I've ever seen"
"Right back in it now, only one winner from here"
"Great penalty, amazed Maguire can walk after that foul though"
"I punched the mother-in-law in the gob when the ref gave that penalty. What a result!"
"I'm always doing a poo when Wednesday score, I should spend more time on the bog"
"4-2 Wednesday from here"
"What do you think of that you Bolton fools?"
"Neil Ginger doesn't look quite so happy now. Wipe the smile off his ginger face boys!!"
"Give Gray a 10 year contract, he is the best manager out there"

Half time comes and the score is 2-1 to Bolton. Stacey cuts to the chase:

Stacey168234 wrote: If we don't win this I will support United from Monday

Lizard Lick Dogging is perhaps stretching the truth:

Lizard Lick Dogging wrote: Bolton were the better team for most of the first half, but we're still in it and if we can win this one I feel we can make the play-offs. Bolton are currently the best team in this league.

Fanny doesn't agree:

Fanny wrote: Bolton are shite and so are we if we don't beat them

The second half kicks off and Bolton take control:

"This is shite, get the subs on Gray"
"Can't believe we're being controlled by crappy Bolton"
"Bolton's defence looks solid"
"Bolton look all over the place at the back"
"what a day when we win this one late"
"I don't think we'll score again if we play until midnight"


To further infuriate the Wednesday fans, Hutchinson is sent off by the referee Graham Scott for a foul on Vela:

"Never a sending off "
"Dive"
"I know where you live Graham Scott"
"Someone ring FIFA, we've been cheated"
"Another bent ref"
"the bible never mentioned this"
"worst decision ever. worse than hiring Gary Megson"
"Stupid players getting sent off again. SORT IT OUT GRAY!"


It's a conspiracy according to LenonTea:

LemonTea33 wrote: It was always going to happen, the ref has been behind Bolton since the kick off. Hutchinson was silly for diving in, but it was a talking to and nothing more. Lennon clearly has the ref in his pocket just like he always did in Scotland

Hirst09 has his own theory:

Hirst09 wrote: I met this ref once in Marks and Spencer in 2009 wearing a Bolton shirt walking hand in hand with fat Kevin Davies. I should have told someone so perhaps we'd be winning today

Happydayz isn't so happy:

HappyDayz wrote: Big mistake to bring Hutch on, this game needed finesse, not brawn. Lennon will be laughing all the way back to Bolton after this. 

Into the last few minutes and Sheffield Wednesday bundle the ball into the net but the linesman rules it offside even though it looked very much onside. The abuse in Sheffield threatens the mechanics of the internet:

"CHEATING REF"
"Are you blind "
"I'm going to find you and kill you"
"OMG that was onside it really was OMG"
"the FA have to look at this ref, how is this legal"
"I'm going to find your children and make them wear United shirts to school"
"Lennon is laughing on the sidelines, he's in on it clearly!"
"As soon as I've finished this game of Hide-n-Seek I'm going down to the police station to report a crime against football"
"BENT REF. END OF."
"is the lino drunk?"
"they've just said it was 10 yards onside on Soccer Saturday"
"Someone get me Neil Lennon's address"
"this could be the end of me with football, game full of cheats"
"I hope the Bolton bus crashes on the way home. With the ref in it."

After 7 long minutes of injury time the game ends with Bolton victorious. But the Wednesday faithful can't let it lie:

Wednesday_Wrench wrote: We were cheated good and proper. There has to be some sort of investigation into the officials, that simply isn't good enough. We've been beaten by a poor team because they had the officials in their pocket.

Bongo blames a higher power:

Bongo_Bollocks wrote: This is karma for me using next doors cat for shooting practice

Bumder is bitter:

Bumder21 wrote: What a total injustice, Bolton should be ashamed. screw Bolton, screw Lennon, screw Peter Kay and screw Helen Wood. OK, I hope the last one happens.

A bit of honesty from Glenn:

GlennFitzroy98 wrote: Bolton were the better side. Before we had the goal wrongly disallowed they had several great chances to extend their lead. They are a good team and I wouldn't be surprised if they made it to the play-offs.

The last word goes to 3CardMarcus:

3CardMarcus wrote: I look at you and I think money grabbing fools!  No effort, no passion, no nothing. You cowardly lions, you soft mints, you bouncy castles. Someone needs to stand up and be counted. I'll be counting with my nine millimetre as I put you out of your misery. I will be there when you arrive home tonight but where will I be? In the breadbin? In the downstairs loo? In your tv remote? Ha ha you will never know because I am the master of trickery and I never fail. I could just as easily make you a ham sandwich as gut you like a French horn. I am everywhere, don't underestimate me, you should be on your guard. The performance today made me angry. So angry I couldn't watch Home & Away which I'd sky plussed all week. Which one of you shall I hunt first? Too many too choose from. But I will get to you all in time. When you least expect it. You could be watching Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom and I jump out from under your dog and gut you. You have been warned. I am everywhere. The master of trickery and gutting. You have failed me. Eat your doom.

Bolton's second Championship match of the New Year is away to Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.

Sheff Weds are currently in 9th position in the league table with 37 points where as Bolton have dropped a place from 15th down to 16th in the league with 30 points.





The Owls last 5 Championship results are:

Nottingham Forest 0-2 Sheff Weds (Away Win)
Wigan 0-1 Sheff Weds (Away Win)
Sheff Weds 1-0 Blackpool (Home Win)
Fulham 4-0 Sheff Weds (Away Loss)
Sheff Weds 0-1 Wolves (Home Loss)

The last 5 meetings between The Owls and Bolton:

Bolton 0-0 Sheff Weds
Sheff Weds 1-3 Bolton
Bolton 1-1 Sheff Weds
Bolton 0-1 Sheff Weds
Sheff Weds 1-2 Bolton

With the Owls winning 3 games in their last 5 and with the Trotters fantastic recent form, I feel that this will be a draw.

This is a must win game for Bolton if we are to push up the table but feel that this will not be the case.

My prediction: 1-1

How do you all think we will do?

Bolton's second game of the New Year is against Leeds United.

Leeds are currently sitting in 20th position with 24 points, just 1 point above the relegation zone whilst Bolton are in 15th position on 29 points.

Leeds United's last 5 Championship results are:

Derby 2-0 Leeds (Away Loss)
Leeds 0-2 Wigan (Home Loss)
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Leeds (Away Draw)
Leeds 0-1 Fulham (Home Loss)
Ipswich 4-1 Leeds (Away Loss)

With Leeds having a recent bad run of results with them just achieving 1 point out of a total of 15 points available from the last 5 games, this will be a crucial game for them if they are to steer well clear of the relegation zone.

This is a must win game for Neil Lennon's men if they are going to push up the table and try to gain a place in the top 6 to try and achieve promotion to the Premier League!

I have a feeling that this game could be an action packed game with both teams going for the win.

My prediction: 3-2 to the Wanderers!
