A FANS VIEW: BOLTON WANDERERS

AS we reach the business end of the season the League tables have dictated which teams are going to be in the running for promotion, the play-offs and relegation. 

Over the coming days I am going to be looking at different clubs who are fighting across these three fronts and speaking to fans of those clubs.

The Stadium Guide

In this article I am talking to Bolton fan Neil.

What have you made of Bolton's season?

I would have been delighted with 20th before the season started. I  honestly didn't think we would stay up under the transfer embargo and everything else so I will be very happy if we stay where we are now.

Has the season lived up to your pre-season expectations and what were your expectations?

If it finished now then it would be above our expectations. I think most fans despite what they might have said publicly would not have been surprised if we were relegated, even more so after only taking two points from the first 11 games! 

Who have been Bolton's key players this season?

I would say definitely Gary Madine before he left to join Cardiff. Maybe Karl Henry and we seem to have missed Mark Little in the last couple of games. 

What have been Bolton's key results for you this season?

Our first win of the season against Sheffield Wednesday as that gave us our momentum and some hope. Also our win at Sheffield United which was our first away win in the Championship for 3 years. 

Do you think you can beat the drop this season?

I'm hopeful as we still have a few of the teams around us still to play. 

Which three sides do you reckon will be relegated from the Championship at the end of the season? 

Sunderland, Burton and Birmingham. 

Which sides will go up automatically and which sides will make the top six?

Wolves will go up but they should do with the players that they have brought in. Second place is up for grabs between Cardiff and Fulham whoever misses out will be in the play-offs with Villa and Derby. I fancy Boro to get the last spot with Villa to run out as play-off winners.

FT REPORT: CRYSTAL PALACE 0-1 TOTTENHAM

HARRY KANE broke Crystal Palace hearts as he headed home an 88th minute winner at Selhurst Park.  It was Kane's 35th goal of the season and his 150th career club goal, the goal equalled his record of goals for last season as he once again looks on course for another stunning season in front of goal. His header broke the hearts of Palace who were denied a precious point in the battle against relegation. One man who will be thanking Kane for scoring will be Spurs right back Serge Aurier who had missed an open goal a few minutes prior to Kane's goal. The result saw Spurs go above Chelsea into the top four on goal difference before the Blues's trip to Manchester United. The defeat for Palace see's them remain 17th in the table outside the drop zone on goal difference. They also play Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool in three of their next four fixtures. It was a tight and tense affair in the first half and Spurs were unlucky to be denied two penalties....

Everton finished the season in 8th position in the Premier League table with 49 points, 12 fewer than they achieved last season.
