Bolton signed nine new players yesterday. Really ? That’s quick, I hope their scouting and selection system is good at their job. Time will tell I guess.

They have appointed Keith Hill as manager. He knows League One very well and knows the players he signed. For example, Chris O’Grady and Will Buckley who he worked with at Rochdale. Be interesting to see if they are able to give themselves a chance of survival. They’ve got a lot of ground to make up.

I would give them a pretty good chance of avoiding relegation now. 90% maybe.
It's very early in the season, there are loads of points to play for. Their troubles until now and the deduction should spur them on to over-achieve from this point onwards.
The other 7 teams in the bottom 8 have won either 1 or 0 games so far. I'd be a bit more worried now if I were them.
One possible set-back for Bolton however is the punishment they will get from the EFL for unilaterally pulling the plug on the Doncaster fixture.
I would expect the EFL to hit them with a 3 point deduction for that. Clubs must be reminded that they can't just refuse to play games.
Even if that happens though, I still expect Bolton to stay up this season now.

Perhaps best wait for a few games to assess their chances. Keith Hill is certainly an excellent appointment and kept Rochdale up for years on a real shoestring, as opposed to our £10M wage bill.

Bolton is currently -15 points from safety. Seriously doubt they stay up.

No chance of survival - they are rumoured to be signing Joe Dodoo 🙄
