Market

Akin Famewo asks to leave Bolton Wanderers

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan says Bolton Wanderers went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Wilson Odobert wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Bolton Wanderers hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

Wilson Odobert in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bolton Wanderers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Jaydon Jones gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Jaydon Jones has just signed for Bolton Wanderers, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Words at Bolton Wanderers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. George Johnston is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Sunderland are in real trouble now

Position 16, 11 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Robin Roefs

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

No end in sight to Sunderland's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Sunderland has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Tempers go at Sunderland

Omar Alderete was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Words at Sunderland training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nordi Mukiele is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Dan Ballard

20 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Wilson Isidor

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Jaydon Jones stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jaydon Jones and Sunderland agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The Brian Brobbey story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Brian Brobbey signs something — a contract at Sunderland or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
