EPL 2/2/2008 - Reading vs Bolton

As we continue to have to watch one of the dirtiest and ugliest football team in the English Premier League at the moment in this live commentary and play by play game featuring Reading and that team Bolton Wanderers, you wonder if Gary Megson can continue to drag the team down in a marriage made in heaven. A money grubber of a manager and a football team devoid of any pretty football played in their ground ever since Sam Allardyce came onboard. That should have changed when they got players like Nicolas Anelka on board but unfortunately it is more about a system than football at Bolton and you cannot blame them either since survival had to be the priority and not spectacle. But if you looked at the players they had to offer it would have been a shock as quite a number of them could play on the ground and not just jumping around like jack rabbits trying to put head to ball instead of feet to ball. Still, you could not argue too much against the system since it provided results until Allardyce decided that money from being a manager was not enough and that transfer bungs might have been more attractive.


Reading on the other hand might have even more to prove in this live commentary and radio broadcast soccer match in the English Premier League against Bolton Wanderers. Both are struggling against relegation and you would sincerely hope that Reading would stay while Bolton should return to the lower divisions. Reading plays nice decent football on the ground and always try to score more than the one goal that Bolton prefers. However Steve Coppell has struggled with the remaining band of players he had left after a few of them decided that money was more important and took off to other clubs where most of them are struggling now anyway. Coppell is sticking to his guns and insisting that his team stick to the basics and while the footballing neutral would hope that they can stay in the English Premier League, it might seem hard to do so given that they have not brought in any great players during this transfer window and do not seem to be improving that much either recently.


You would expect a tough Reading win in this live commentary and TV telecast English Premier League soccer match featuring two strugglers Reading and Bolton but it might not be as simple and straightforward as that. Bolton continue to be tough to break down and beat but the advantage playing against them is that they do not score that many either and now with Anelka gone they might struggle to put away the few chances they create in each game. Reading can score as proven by their high scoring feasts against other teams, but it is a question of whether they know how to stop opponents from scoring and they must try to do that if they hope to take anything away from this live commentary and radio broadcast soccer game in the English Premier League match against Bolton at home.
