Bolton have yet to win at home in the league. Yup, you read that right. They are winless at home.
They've lost 13 of their last 15 league games. 13 of 15! Losses! But we're still backing them to

Bolton Wanderers lifted themselves off the bottom with a deserved win away to
Wigan.
Reo-Coker not putting a foot wrong
The preseason started and ended with a murmur. Just like the 1-0 loss to FC Tampa Bay right at
the beginning, Bolton lost 1-0 to Levante UD at the Reebok. An uninteresting game that saw the only
goal come from Iborra after he tapped in a Ruben free kick that banged off the crossbar.
Boots to fill
Spanish side Levante are due to come to the Reebok tomorrow for our final match of preseason.
Levante compete in La Liga, and finished 14th last year, to mirror Bolton. Owen Coyle will focus on
making this a good run out, both to jusitfy his busy preseason (after that injury), and as
it's his last chance before QPR.
Quick Reminder, Real Life A hot start to the season seemed to fall apart when rising playmaker
Stuart Holden was injured and Elmander, who started the season blazing hot, cooled dramatically.
Bolton fell to 14th in the final accounting. Much-ballyhooed summer signing MPet (Martin Petrov)
failed to recapture the form he demonstrated in his first season with Manchester City.
It is the preseason that never ends. We've had a game roughly every 3 days since the 14th of
July and today we continue that as we face Welsh side Newport County. The Exiles compete in the
Conference National, effectively the fifth tier of the English system. They haven't been in the
Football League since 1988, when they ended their 68 year stay.
It's now officially official that Chris Eagles and Tyrone Mears have signed for Bolton Wanderers
in a deal worth around £2.75 million for the pair. It's common knowledge that the pair both played
under Owen Coyle in his time at Burnley but each of their histories are much more extensive.
With that, we give you the opportunity to learn a little more about Chris Eagles.
Coyle looks pleased with himself
Sorry this is so late, I'm in the process of moving to France right now and have had to go to a
McDonald's to get any internet. Anyway we've been waiting all summer for signings and suddenly it
appears we've had 3. We've snapped up Nigel Reo-Coker from Aston Villa on a free, which is quite a
good bit of business.
