Discussing the Bolton victory including debating who Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe may have been scouting.
Asking the question “Neal Maupay – is he back on track?”
Mature match mascots at Brentford – after the 38 year old Wolves fan who was made a mascot by his friends at his stag do for the Bolton match
What is Brentford’s statistical chances of promotion? – apparently it’s 20% at the moment
Reading’s form- apparently they were pitted at 18th in the ‘stats league’ when they were in the playoff zone last season. Have things evened out this season?
