Sam Ricketts scores a cracker to give Bolton a 1-0 lead over Wolves.
Yes, out of the 30 photos from training in Orlando, I chose this one.
It's no secret that this hasn't been exactly the most exciting summer for the Bolton Wanderers,
and any news is at least vaguely interesting. I mean, I read an interview with the kitman earlier
today. I know exactly how many ankle socks they brought to America.
What more could you want? Stuart Holden and an ANTI-GRAVITY TREADMILL. How cool does that sound?
Very cool. Anyway, I've mentioned this contraption before as both Holden and Ricketts are using it
as a part of their recovery. It basically allows the players to rebuild their muscle memory (and
muscles themselves) with minimal stress on the joint.
Owen Coyle had said that the transfers would come and here's one. Bolton Wanderers first
official signing of the 2011 summer transfer season, as reported earlier, is Darren Pratley. The
former Swansea midfielder has moved to the Reebok on a free after declining an extension with the
newly promoted Swans.
We were all disappointed when Sam Ricketts ruptured his Achilles last February. It's no secret
that our squad has the depth of a kiddie pool, and Ricketts was starting to look quite good as
well. Well that was four months ago, and while Sam has made a lot of progress, thanks to an
interview with the official site, it's clear he still has a long way to go.
What was an already thin back line has just been stretched even thinner. With Zat Knight's
injury and David Wheater filling in for him, Bolton are back to having no center backs on the
bench. Then, on Wednesday against Wigan, the Wanderers lost another.
Blame the pitch at the DW Stadium, the pies, or whatever else you want, the fact is that this is
nowhere near our ideal back four.
Premier League - Serious injury for Ricketts - Yahoo! Eurosport Bolton boss Owen Coyle's joy at
seeing his side secure a place in the last 16 of the FA Cup was tempered by the loss of another
defender to injury after Sam Ricketts damaged his Achilles at Wigan. Ricketts went to ground in the
second half at the DW Stadium while tracking Latics substitute Victor Moses and had to be carried
off on a
Wigan away. What an unsavory meat pie of a fixture. This match, no matter when or where, is
hardly ever an exciting prospect. Still, to advance to the 5th round of the FA Cup, it has to be
played. The home result was a very predictable 0-0 back on January 29 meaning that the trip away
was winner-take-all.
