I truly pity anyone going to this game if Corr is still in charge as I can see it being a hefty defeat.

I won't be and I don't think I'll even watch on the fire stick. Will cash in some family time.

Bolton choked yesterday, but hard to see past another defeat here. Won't be a mauling but another limp defeat beckons.

I won't be going, and I may not bother watching it on a live stream. It will be the same ole shite that's been dished up over the past few games.
When will we ever give some of our young talent a chance!!! Why wasn't Brandon Njoku given a chance to show his pace and speed against the scum and Stevenage? Poor coaches and management. Why does Corr not start with our strongest players from the start, rather than bringing them on as subs? Bizarre tactics from a bloke that was a proven goal scorer himself.

What I think we'll do:
Stevens
Bennett Bennett Morrison Andrew
Cousins Digby
Kaikai Kachunga Brophy
Bonne
What I'd like us to do, depending on availability:
Stevens
Bennett Bennett Morrison Andrew
Thomas Digby Brophy
Lankester
Kaikai/Bonne Kachunga
It's interesting that someone mentioned on Twitter that we looked almost like we'd lined up in a Christmas tree formation against Stevenage, as I'd noticed that was the shape we went to when we made the second set of subs against Peterborough.
In theory it could work quite well, as it gives the numbers and passers in midfield (v Peterborough I think it was May, Thomas & Brophy but I can't quite remember the order of who came on when), creates space down the flanks for our full-backs to attack & has the comfortable-on-the-ball dribblers (Kaikai & Lankester, which switched to Kaikai & Njoku after he came on) available through the centre of the pitch. Certainly don't hate it as an idea, but we'd need to have time to actually work on it in training & be wary of it leaving us narrow and the middle of the pitch congested.

Now is not the time for youngsters. I know it’s frustrating at times and we all crave for something different, something better, but playing the young lads now would do them more harm than good. Njoku came on against Pish and barely touched the ball. Natural to scream out for change, we all do it, but the players that are picked simply have to do better. The person who picks them also must do better in terms of tactically playing a way that suits those available. Chuck Njoku or Yearn on for 10 mins, yes, maybe, but they’re likely to be joining a team very low on confidence and bereft of ideas, we don’t want that rubbing off on some very promising young players.

I’m going. I’m looking forward to seeing a very nice stadium which I’ve not been to before and maybe checking out the Fred Dibnah museum before the game.
I’m also optimistic about the performance because it cannot possibly be worse than that first half was against Stevenage.

Yeah, I'm reasonably optimistic. I think we'll make it hard for Bolton at least, I'm not confident about much beyond that but I do think we've been fairly competitive in the two games under Barry.
Things change pretty quickly, we might have a new manager sat in the stand cheering us on. That'd give me optimism so long as it's not Ince, Adams, Monk, Kennedy, Beale etc.

I can't raise any hope for this one, but I'll keep trying. So glad I won't be watching.

I have been given some hospitality tickets for Spurs on Saturday through work. I think I will make use of those and enjoy my prawn sandwiches than go to Bolton. I therefore hope that the team punishes my disloyalty and wins in a rousing fashion!

I think that's a good thing for our prospects on the pitch isn't it?
