Was this Bolton’s first team a few weeks ago?

[ClaretTony]

Finished 1-1 and Bolton missed the sitter of all sitters with the last kick of the game

[Silkyskills1]

Good to see they fulfilled the fixture.

Surely we should be beating these lower level teams ?

They are not lower level. Bolton have a long standing Cat 1 & 2 academy.

Five of today's team have played in League One this season

[FCBurnley]

How can Bolton still have a cat 1 or 2? Academy. Thought that required some serious financing and facilities

I suspect that was when Bolton had barely any senior players

Surprised by the Cat1 & 2 academy. Where are they based as I thought I’d read they sold their Euxton base?

We wouldn't be playing them if they weren't Cat 2 - they were previously cat 1. Their base hasn't moved, it was the first team base that was sold. They are still at the Eddie Davies Academy at Lostock.

Dropped the Cat 1 status in 2015 due to lack of funds
