HEAD COACH - HARRY KEWELL   “Hi everyone and thanks once again for
                            supporting us from home.”
                            There’s always an extra sense of anticipation when a home
                            fixture comes straight on the back of a good away win and
                            that’s certainly been evident over the past few days in our
                            preparation for this evening’s game.
                            The result we picked up at Carlisle United on Saturday felt like
                            more than just three points due to the manner in which it was
                            achieved and the character shown by the players to come from
                            behind in such dramatic circumstances.
                            As a team, we have developed a habit this season of battling
                            back in games, and for the second successive Saturday, I was
                            incredibly proud of our determination to keep going against
                            strong opposition and produce a hard-earned result.
                            I have said throughout the season that we have a young squad
                            full of potential and our ability to record a win at Carlisle, along
                            with the draw at Tranmere Rovers the previous weekend, shows
                            we are progressing in the right way.
                            Of course, we were all disappointed with the home defeat
                            against Barrow in the middle of those results, but to respond so
                            quickly in a difficult fixture is testament to the players and their
                            hunger to put things right.
                            No-one typifies that mentality more than Carl Piergianni who,
                            despite being limited in his game-time in recent weeks, came
                            off the bench to register an outstanding second-half
                            performance at Brunton Park before scoring the goal that made
                            sure of the win.
                            Carl is someone who is respected by all of the players. He is an
                            excellent professional who has always led by example and his
                            celebration after heading home our third goal showed exactly
                            what the moment meant to him and the rest of the lads.
                            The importance of this being a squad game is particularly
                            relevant in a season such as this. The players are under no
                            illusions that they all have a key role to play and the fact that all
                            four substitutes helped shaped the outcome on Saturday is
                            further evidence of that.
                            I am delighted that Dylan Bahamboula has been able to
                            translate his excellent attacking performances into more goals
                            recently, and it was also pleasing to see Marcel Hilssner find the
                            target for the first time in English football to start the
                            turnaround at Brunton Park.
                            In Bolton Wanderers, we welcome a team tonight who are right
                            in form. The quality within their squad has never been in doubt
                            and Ian Evatt deserves great credit for their recent run of five
                            straight wins which has put them firmly in the promotion
                            picture.
                            That level of consistency is something we are all currently
                            striving for. The way Bolton have elevated themselves up the
                            table is an example to every team in the division and with
                            plenty of points to play for it shows what can still be achieved in
                            a relatively short period of time.
                            With the added ingredient of this being a local fixture, I am sure
                            there will be a real sense of excitement in both camps as kick-
                            off approaches.
                            Our job tonight is to ensure our performance lives up to that
                            billing. As the first of back-to-back home games, we are focused
                            on getting a result so we can look to build our own momentum
                            as the final part of the season approaches.
                            As well as the players, I know this is a fixture you will all be
                            looking forward to and we want to make sure we use it as an
                            opportunity to reward your continued support.
                            Best wishes,

                                                                  SPONSORED BY

VISITING BOUNDARY PARK…

THE TROTTERS  MAN AT THE TOP...
              IAN EVATT
              Appointed on 24th June 2020 as the first-team manager of
              Bolton Wanderers after they agreed £250,000 on
              compensation with Barrow AFC.
              The 38-year-old started his football career with Derby County
              in 1999 and made a handful of Premier League appearances
              for the Rams before being released and joining Chesterfield.
              He became a vital part of the Spireites team and made 90
              appearances which saw Queens Park Rangers swoop in a
              move for £150,000.
              After an unsuccessful spell with the London club, Evatt signed
              for Blackpool initially on loan but made it permanent in 2007.
              He won promotion to the Championship with the Seasiders
              in his first spell, beating Oldham Athletic in the play-off semi-
              final. Under Ian Holloway’s reign he helped guide Blackpool
              to the Premier League and Evatt played a full season in the
              top-flight.
              Evatt rejoined Chesterfield in 2013 and suffered relegation to
              Sky Bet League Two. He was sent off that season against
              Latics after a tussle with Anthony Gerrard before Peter Clarke
              headed in a late winner.
              Since his retirement, Evatt has won promotion as Champions
              of the Vanarama National League with Barrow AFC. This
              meant the Bluebirds returned to the Football League for the
              first time in 48-years.

ABSOLUTELY FUMING!
Latics legend John Sheridan took
a look back at an interesting
team-talk he gave in September
2006 away at Bournemouth.
“We were playing Bournemouth away, it might have been
the first game of the season and we’d worked on our
game and system all week for Bournemouth because they
were a decent side. Anyway, I’d changed the system and I
played Neil Woods in a diamond and it was a different
system to what we were used to, so the game has kicked
off and we’re 3-0 down after about 20 minutes.
“So, I’ve come in at half-time with Tommy (Wright) and
Lee (Duxbury), who were my coaching staff, and I got into
the dressing room and told all the lads to sit down
because we’re 3-0 down and I’m absolutely fuming. I’ve
got them and said, ‘I’ve changed the system and you’ve
gone out there and you can’t do this that and the other
and we’re 3-0 down, what’s going on!’.” He added.
“Dux and Tommy are behind me and I’ve gone ‘From now
on I’m telling the f****** lot of you, we’re going to play
4-4-f******-2’ and all the players started laughing and
I’m going off my head! Tommy and Dux behind me are
absolutely creased up because of the way I said it.
“Anyway, we went back out and ten minutes into the
second-half we got it back to 3-2 and we nearly got
something out of the game.”
