How the national press reported Bolton Wanderers 1-1 Aston Villa

It seems like we’ve been hearing this for weeks now, but yet again we’re told by the Mail that Bolton are just one win away from definite safety. The same paper also tells us that Gary Megson believes Bolton have “hearts as big as buckets all over the pitch.”

Big hearts maybe (although that wasn’t necessarily the case at Portsmouth last week), but the Guardian thought the Wanderers display lacked inspiration, saying that “the highlights of this encounter will not make it into any PowerPoint presentations put together for Bolton chairman Phil Gartside’s proposed two-tier top-flight that would include Celtic, Rangers and, of course, Wanderers.”

Your guide to all the predictions and Mystic Meggery ahead of Portsmouth v Bolton Wanderers

Reasons to be cheerful
1. Danny Shittu is a major doubt after being floored by Didier Drogba last week.

2. Matt Taylor, who has scored 10 goals so far this season, would love to show Pompey fans what they’ve been missing since they sold him – even if Gary Megson won’t let him be captain for the day.

How the national press reported Bolton’s 1-1 draw at the Hawthorns

The Times thought Bolton were worthy of all three points. It says Bolton’s goal had been coming for a long time when it eventually arrived from the boot of Matt Taylor in the 67th minute and also points out that West Brom failed to get a shot on target all game – even their equalising goal needed a massive deflection from Danny Shittu.

Your guide to all the predictions and Mystic Meggery ahead of Bolton’s trip to West Brom this afternoon

Reasons to be cheerful
1. Our chances of winning this game are better than 50/50… because under Gary Megson we have only lost 49 per cent of our matches.

2. Megson should get a good reception from the fans… the West Brom fans that is. Tony Mowbray certainly wants him to get a good welcome and Jonathan Greening has been having sleepless nights over it too, but Megson himself is not so optimistic about what the atmosphere will be like.

West Brom v Bolton: Here’s one we made earlier

A look back at the last time Bolton played the Baggies

It wasn’t exactly a classic. In fact it’s a game that will be remembered as the beginning of the end of Kevin Nolan’s love affair with Bolton Wanderers – when he had a spat with a fan after the final whistle – rather than for anything that happened on the pitch.
