Bolton game in doubt

mixed on this one.

 

last game of a tough set of fixtures & I'm not too sure i'd like to play Bolton on a hard pitch. Would provide a little rest for the lads.

 

but

 

we're in cracking form & it'd be an excellent result to get another win there + wouldn't want extra fixture congestion towards the end of the season.

It's a disgrace that any Premiership club has to postpone games.

If the game was awarded to the opponents, then you'll find non would be called off because of the weather.

Good point.

 

With all the money in the premiership, it's a disgrace that games have to be called off for whatever reason.

 

As you say - these clubs should be punished.

 

Imagine you're a Charlton fan and you travel to Newcastle to be told the game is off.

its not fair, other teams are having to play 4 games in 8 days. i wouldnt put it past Bolton to be doing it on purpose as they have a small squad and want to spread the games out a bit, and they now i have an excuse because of the weather

That was my first thought. They play at OT on Saturday and then us two days later. :hmm:

allardyce has already commented on one or two of his players taking it easy ahead of the african nations cup. a postponement would probably get the game rearranged for after the acn has finished and he'd have a full squad back wouldn't it?

Warmer and some rain on monday. Sam can f*** himself. Surprised he isn't trying it on for all the african nations.

Alladyce, being the tactical genius he thinks he is, probably reckons Rafa won't properly prepare if he thinks the game mightn't go ahead.

 

With 3 games notice, a premiership club has NO excuse for postponing a game due to a frozen pitch.

 

The premiership have a rule, they should enforce it with point deductions. It's not like it's yeovil, and it's not like it's a sudden deluge to waterlog it.
