They’ve conceded 23 goals in 6 games and scored 1 goalConeded average 3.86 goalsScored average 0.16 goals3pts and a 4-0 win is about fair in my eyes
Finally had my email reply, my bold:QuoteBolton Wanderers were permitted to start the 2019/20 season as the Administrators had confirmed that they were in a position to be able to compete, and were in advanced negotiations regarding the sale of the Club.It is an EFL requirement that clubs complete their fixtures and do so by playing their full strength team. Not doing so would mean the Club would potentially be subject to further sanctions.With regards to Bolton v Doncaster, there is no further update at this time, however this is being discussed.They have to say "potentially" until a decision is made, but good at least to see the acknowledgement of "It is an EFL requirement..." etc along with the implication that the Admins had gone back on their word " that they were in a position to be able to compete". It's pretty serious put in that light.

Could we be on, if we do, to loose that record?COYR

Fed up of texting on this thread & so this will be my final input.I have texted the EFL via their websites ‘query line’ on two occasions. The first being the day after the game was cancelled by Bolton when I received a very typical non commital reply from Daniel who signed himself as ‘Support Liason Officer’ basically saying the EFL were ‘investigating the matter’ & would be putting out a statement ‘imminently’.Two weeks later, after the EFL had failed to make any decisions on the cancelled fixture, I sent a second more comprehensive email pointing out the obvious i.e.,1.Bolton cancelled the game without informing the EFL, the governing body, or their opponents DRFC.2. They gave ‘notice’ of the cancellation via their own media site thus compounding flagrant disregard for either us or the EFL.3. Despite having fulfilled all other fixtures before & prior to the Rovers fixture & having lost the one prior to the Rovers game they ‘chose’ not to fulfill 5-0 & losing all subsequent fixtures (now four & counting) by 5 clear goals, it beggars belief that the EFL appears to still ‘be swayed’ by other League 1 club representatives that the fixture Bolton cancelled, not postponed..cancelled, should not be ‘awarded’ to Rovers asap with an appropriate goal difference based on games prior to & preceding the cancelled fixture.4. The EFL’s continued procrastination on this matter becomes even more frustrating for those of us who invest time & monies at DRFC whilst ‘being forced’ to watch teams thrash Bolton game in game out thus undermining ‘our own true position’ in the competition.I am yet to receive any reply from the EFL or any of its representatives.I’ll say this for the last time, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
The EFL will decide what they want when they want, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Complaining and opinions does no good.Same as Darren will sign a striker if he wants and when he wants, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Even though we needed a finisher today against Ipswich because we were so close to a win.
I didn't want to open a further thread about Bolton, but I note that they lost again today and with other results going against them they are now 18 points adrift of safety..... I wonder at what stage they will accept that they are doomed...?
The best thing for the EFL is for Bolton to be relegated nice and early and us stuck in mid table mediocrity then no-one gives a monkeys how the game gets awarded.

But it may not happen, so they can’t afford to delay this much longer.
The EFL appealed the independent panel judgement. Is it the EFL stalling the outcome now?
Allegedly, the EFL's leading legal advisor turns out to be a Bolton supporter leading to claims of conflict of interest.
Quote Allegedly, the EFL's leading legal advisor turns out to be a Bolton supporter leading to claims of conflict of interest. That’s a humdinger, if true, but would explain why they (initially) appeared to get away lightly with the Independant body’s ruling.
You couldn't make it up could you!?
I get the feeling which ever way the appeal goes there will be legal action against the efl
Completely agree, any team that decides not to bother with games should either be forced to use youth players, or be docked points, fined, banished from the FL etc.Anyway, good luck against Shrewsbury on Saturday

Our game was postponed for call ups, not cos we thought we were in for a shagging so didn't feel the need to bother playing.
