Bolton 9 Oct

[Mr Meadows]

Just realised this falls on another international weekend, anyone know if its likely this will get postponed again like the Sunderland game, or even when a decision on it will be announced? Can’t make 2 home games on successive weekends and with Kieran Lee playing for them, I’d prefer to go to this over the Oxford game, but if it gets called off then I’ll go against Oxford

Can’t imagine Bolton have many internationals.

 

BPF is the only likely call up for us.

No doubt Bolton will have 1 Kuwait international or something & they call the whole thing off

Kachunga will probably get a call up for Congo and it’ll be off.

Would be a total joke if another of our fixtures gets lost because of international call-ups.

 

It's League One FFS.  The vast majority of players in this division will never get a sniff of international football.

 

A reserve left-back getting a call-up for Djibouti (just a daft example off the top of my head) shouldn't result in an English third tier game getting rescheduled.

Should be no international breaks, use your squads.

[morganowl]

think bolton played on mon live on sky last int break . so hopefully its on , we had just the 1 call up and with our amazing football lately must be due loads of call ups er not.

Yeah Bolton played during the last international break so game should go ahead. Might get moved for sky though as they haven't picked a league one game yet for that weekend.

Let’s not forget Corbanau was ill so missed out for Canada. Berahino is Berundi captain. 

[Mr. Chow]

Don’t see the problem in playing anyway, we have a big enough squad to handle these sort of things now, plus Moore likes a rotation anyway

Even if those players are unavailable I can't see us postponing it. We've still got to fit the Sunderland game in somewhere and their still in the league cup.

I can't make the Saturday for this, so I'm all for Sky ballsing up travel plans and sticking it as an 11AM Sunday kick off.

And should they get called up for their respective nations, best of luck to them both.

 

But I'd lose quite a bit of respect for Darren Moore if he pulled the plug and caused the fixture to be rescheduled to a Tuesday night.  Thus creating a needless fixture pile-up.
